Honestly, apart from the well documented mechanical issues with the class that we've brought up for years now, this community by and large wants loldrg to exist.

The refrain now of "SAM has no utility so must be top DPS" was virtually never extended to DRG in 2.0. And the minute that video came out years ago with the 16-bit Titan, the devs tacitly endorsed it. Be that as it may, HW was so great for the class and I became attached to it. I always play Roguey, thief style jobs in MMOs and absent a true one at launch I sort of just landed on DRG.

I did Susano EX with my group last night (we had 2 SAMs and a RDM besides) and it was pretty demoralizing, frankly.
