That doesn't matter, because you still want a BRD or MCH for TP/Mana regen purposes, and the fact remains that if a DRG isn't present then that BRD/MCH you need anyway will be doing significantly less damage.

This is actually a serious party synergy issue, and it's surprising that it STILL hasn't been addressed.
