This is the case for any dps. The difference is that DRG's dps outside of their burst is a bit of a step up from what ranged can do, on top of the relatively stronger durability and self healing. However I still wouldn't count them to be above MNK due to the recent nerfs, that their DPS can overshadow what DRG can do, and mantra being so incredibly powerful with a scholar/nocturnal astro team.
