No... my answer isn't to nerf RDM. I was speaking in an hypothetical scenario because this whole exchange started with RDM.
I'm saying that in the case RDM- or any other job- does need to be nerfed, the argument that "some groups can't clear the content" cannot be used to stop that.
If it so happens that there are comps that cannot reasonably clear a piece of content, then that content is overtuned and needs to have its numbers adjusted.
If RDM and SAM turn out to be mandatory for Savage clears, then Savage is poorly tuned and there is a serious issue with job balance.
It's neither fair that a piece of relevant content (Savage) requires these two jobs, nor is it good balance.
And if that happens (that you need 2 or 3 specific dps jobs in your comp to clear Savage) I'll be very disappointed. We don't want an "AST in Gordias" situation for sure.
I'm not screaming "nerfs". I was discrediting your original argument against nerfing in general.
Also, those 6 minute clears are good evidence that if you practice and learn your job well you can clear. You don't need to kill a primal in 6 minutes to get your clear.
But if that's possible, with some effort, you can surely get your clear in the initially planned 11 and a half minutes.
If someone is consistently struggling with that, then perhaps they need to rethink their approach or practice their fundamentals.
Even then, it's not realistic to think everyone will clear every primal/savage.
It's never been this way, and it never will.
Not sure what you're trying to illustrate with your top 100 example either.
Sure, almost anyone that plays his job competently can get fed enhanced balances and have a dedicated cheese comp and end up there... what's that supposed to bear in this discussion?
(For what it counts, I don't have a group and got my clears in the PF, playing a generally unfavourable job this patch)
(... I always end up spending half my post count clearing up things I said. I never said "we must nerf RDM" or anything to that effect in any post ever...)
