DPS classes numbers and ranking posted on reddit

I don't think this was posted here, so i'm making a thread on your guys opinions, this was posted on reddit.



Samurai pulls ahead but understanding it doesn't give nothing to the raid anyway, I'm surprised ninja is able to keep up with monk.

So the SMN and BLM are tied. That 4 difference doesn't mean much.

Man....they need to rebalance pretty badly. SMN & RDM should not be that high up. And MCH...poor MCH.

Edit:
Since people keep responding to this, I''ll answer it here. The reason SMN shouldn't be this high is because they not only have a rez, but AOE that embarrasses every class and a 5% buff damage buff to a party member. Compare it to BLM. BLM has.....manashift? BLM gets screwed by SMN. Who would play the slow casting, stand still to do "insane" deeps BLM when you can be a SMN and lose 5 dps but gain utility and movement. The same can be said about RDM. A rez, a cure, and a 10%* party wide Phys up buff that buffs self and once again movement. BLM is basically obselete again.

Imo RDM only needs a small nerf, maybe 50 off, while SMN needs at least 100. And while I am at it, DRG could use 100 or so. And Ninja still has 10% TA & aggro control, which destroys MNKs 5% buff, so it shouldn't be that high either, maybe 100 off.


And I only complain for MCH because its ranged counterpart seems to bring BETTER utility and quite a bit higher ST dps, so it's more blatantly obselete.

LOL and when I posted a thread about MCH feeling bad I got flamed for it because I hadn't hit 70 yet. It wasn't hard to see the writing on the wall. They took away all of our oGCD's we combined with wildfire and then gave us a heat mechanic in exchange. The good news is we'll probably get buffs so maybe better to be weak for a time than to wallow in mediocrity.

I am always expecting melee to pull way ahead of casters for some reason. What happened here...sigh...

To be fair everyone was saying that as well and look where a majority were wrong about?

Also take these with a grain of salt guys its a rankings list but just like tier lists its a good idea to wait until more conclusive lists come out before and after the raid. Player skill can easily alter numbers.

This is parsed on a dummy so it ignores loss of damage based from encounter mechanics and also indirect damage from raid utility. With that taken into account this seems pretty reasonable. The main discrepancy is BRD being higher than MCH. That is just wrong.

Nevermind, people say its the extreme primal fight, some others saying its dummy. *shrugs*

And yet the issues with SMN were not the numbers but how clunky the class feels.
