Every competent Full Party will have a BRD. Every competent BRD will be buffing effectively.

PGL, and for that matter MNK, does not need MP to DPS well. Their stances and buffs put them over the edge. I've done my testing, and so have many people regarding the damage PGL puts out right now. You're welcome to do the same.

Your argument revolves around the key point that if a DD needs further management to put out comparable DPS as another DD, then it will not be desirable.

The flaw in that argument is nothing suggests that they will need the extra management to put out comparable damage. Based on the numbers PGL puts out now, it's more like the extra management is an option that allows PGL to surpass every DD by a noticeable margin.

Go try fighting any mob that isn't resistant to fire. Attack it on a LNC, an ARC, a MRD and what-have-you. See what you hit for. Then try PGL, with no stance. Then try PGL will Fists of Fire. Do those, and you won't feel the need to continue this debate.

Also worth noting, I said a mob not resistant to fire. If you manage to find one weak to fire, watch your AA hit like a string of weapon skills.
