Are you drunk? I think I probably mentionned the DPS gap like once or maybe twice if you count the moment I have bring concrete proof of that DPS gap, after that we just discussed about it without really pointing it.
I really don't want to repeat myself (Again) but I'll make an exception for you.

The problem lies in the kit of both classes, they are almost clone with only few difference but these difference are gigantic when it comes on deciding a class for raid. Currently the perfect exemple is the Heavy + Stun the MCH can bring on the table while BRD don't have anything.
But the fact that they are almost clone classes bring the real problem when you look at the DPS Gap, since MCH is holding it's place near BLM and SMN, is MCH a support DPS or a High DPS class.
You can't have both, currently MCH got both, THIS is where the problem is!
