Not a good comparison if you asked me.
The Smn got trick Attack from the Ninja, 98% balance uptime.
The Blm got Contagion and 45% Balance uptime.

Otherwise the two parses are mostly identical.

They are a good comparison when you consider the fact, The Blm had his Summoner die in his parse, had his fight a minute longer, and a team that had significant lower dps. The only real difference, is dragon sight, which is a 5% dps increase to the blm that the Summoner didn't have access to. However, this is rather small, when you consider the difference in balance uptime, and the duration of the two fights. The Summoner had the fight end sooner, which boosts their dps numbers. While the Blm had to sustain his damage for longer.

For example. https://www.fflogs.com/reports/vCGkn...pe=damage-done

Here's a 6k dps parse back in heavensward. Despite my dps normally being around 2400 usually.

So considering everything? Yes, it's a good comparison. The Summoner had the bigger advantages. No deaths, Quicker Kill, Better team, More balance uptime.
