And this is the reasonable counterargument to someone bringing up FFlogs. You can be well researched in a job without playing it. I personally only have DRK at 61 but I can talk about it because my co-tank is a DRK and I have looked into the strengths and weaknesses of the job, and how it interacts with the party on a raid level. I don't have DRK levelled, I don't know if I could play DRK as effectively as my PLD, but I do know DRK in some shape or form.

This is me citing my sources and circumventing my lack of credentials in a reasonable manner, and making people aware that I know what I am talking about despite proof of the contrary, and it is my responsibility to make that known if called out. Complaining about FFlogs is not a good enough counterargument.
