I love how people keep refering to fflogs as a basis for dmg rankings. Group comp means more than any single person. I can hold steady at 3.5-3.7k dps as sam solo ... but put me in a group with a nin/rdm/astro and that jumps to 4.5. Using logs to judge anything in an 8man environment is asking for hurt feelings unless you are using the exact same group in multiple tests. Best thing to do is hit a dummy for 5 minutes with an equal ilvl solo if you really want to judge.

RDM and BLM are both up there with SAM and its painfully obvious when you see a good one compared to someone who isnt so good. Hell half the people I see in pug groups crying over dps numbers are people who won't use any decent food, pots, or even go to a site and read up on how to play their class. It's people who want to simply log on and be top of the meters with zero effort. No class can do that. Sam may not be the hardest rotation wise, but it's pretty easy to spot the people who are doing nothing but putting up 3 buffs and using midare. There's a whole lot more than that to the class.

As far as what I expect to see, buffs to MCH, BRD, DRG, SMN (perhaps some QoL stuff too). The rest of the classes really aren't in terrible shape. Also hoping they fix tenacity but think that's just wishful thinking
