That's what I meant.
Majority of players doing FCoB use a parser already anyways... Won't change a thing. SMN is too weak, but DRG is balanced. Even though SMN is weak, there are plenty of SMNs that have gotten raids groups, and they are all using parsers, so it that wouldn't change.

It's important that players get at least decent DPS, because you need it in the harder raids. If you're outside of raids, who cares, but we are talking about FCoB now...

Everyone being over-geared right now, helps a lot with DPS, but you still have to do good DPS to beat the encounters.

It's not like dungeons, crystal tower etc.. you won't beat it if you don't get up to those numbers needed
