Is my dmg proportiolly higher than an archers for the dodging i have to do? or is it in fact lower even before i have to dodge?

How much utility am i adding to the fight? these are things SE needs to figure out for balancing classes properly.

also at the end of the day, my problem is maybe you can be superman, and dodge the aoe like a pro, but you still are doing less dmg than a class that is taking a lot less risk. Now even more than before since you can guage enimity more easily for DD.

Im not saying they should have no challenge, or no dodging, im saying they need to balance the fights, archers should have to be just as much as a super ninja to get away with doing good DPS or no one is going to take them. If for all the ninja tricks archer is still the safest, easiest and also largest DD then that is a balancing fail, and it isnt really your problem, its SE's problem.
Again with the dodging... There's NO dodging involved at all.

You're doing the same exact shit that you be normally doing except you have to stand in the correct position to avoid things like cone attacks and time certain abilities.

You don't lose any DPS at all if done correctly.
