Thread: 4.05 DPS Ranking Expectations

I was referring to a hypothetical situation wherein two equally skilled players are playing RDM and BLM respectively and the two classes are perfectly balanced. Now I change the scenario and give cure and raise to RDM. As a result their dps is now below that of the BLM. As a static leader, despite the fact that the RDM does slightly less dps, I will choose the RDM because of his added utility.

I simply wanted to state that skills that lower a class's dps should still be taken into account when determining their overall dps ranking. A class that lacks utility must compensate for it by having something else such as higher dps.

Hopefully, we can all agree that SE wants every class to be equally desireable as a member of any party.
