I can't get in-game at the moment, could anyone tell me what DPS difference we are talking about when holding off on using Geirskogul?

Everyone goes on about DRGs high DPS, but while I do understand what others have said about learning the fights and using Geirskogul carefully, that high DPS doesn't mean anything if you can't get up to that level in any fight.

There's a ton of fights in FCoB for example, where you could theoretically go on using Geirskogul 3 times a minute, but only if you're extremely lucky and don't get targeted by any mechanics at all... And I'm guessing it's normally a DPS gain to just trying to hold on to BoTD rather than risk losing it on mechanics.

NIN doesn't have things like this to worry about, and while MNK falls behind some on DPS, they have an advantage when there's dodging mechanics like that now.

So, to build on my question earlier(I hope I'm not offending anyone, cause I'm very thankful for insight and rotations people have submitted), in a raid like fight which isn't perfect for this tight DRG rotation, where do DRG sit in terms of DPS compared to other jobs?

I can't speak too much about NIN cause I haven't played them at that level, but while MNK have lower potential DPS, they can just pump out full DPS like they always have, and now they don't get as punished with mechanics as before. It's kinda how BLM has higher DPS than SMN, but in most scenarios SMN will be ahead.

I could be completely wrong, and that 200 potency attack might not do too much, I'm sorry then. Didn't really test it out myself.
