At 60, melee classes should have pretty competent AoE, tanks running around and pants-on-head errors notwithstanding. So it all falls down to below.

^This, and yes, MNK can have comparable, if not better, AoE than BLM depending on how long the pull lasts. Regardless of length, a good MNK will AoE accordingly. My BF and I used to double MNK before he switched to BLM, and we made things melt then just as well as we do now.

As far as the rest of the post, as Kaurie said, no one here is yelling at low performers. We want tools that can help indicate that there is room to improve, and tools that can help the process of improving. More information is good!

We aren't expecting optimal DPS from players in DF, but it's not wrong to expect bare minimum from players, which many are actually doing well below even that. When I step into current content I am not going to expect everyone to do over 1.4k+, hell I don't expect 1k, but if people are doing 400-600 there is something really off considering that's level 50 numbers.
