Thread: Caster Changes in 4.2 (RIP Casters)

I did small comparison from raid dps calculator o6s because o5s you can cheese from adds too much. It does not looks like casters are that bad spot, but it is hard compare if gear is not equal level. This is rank 1 from every job o6s.

Its way too early to be saying that because:

a) You don't know what gear each of the classes have (nowhere near close to BiS and there's a chance one of those weapons is BiS).
b) Strategies haven't been optimized yet
c) People haven't been experimenting with comps yet.

Furthermore, taking the top job from each role is completely inaccurate - you absolutely need to take into account killtime. Speedruns are a better way of measuring performance. Furthermore, Blackcat's tool does also still bias the person that applies the damage (rather than the buff user) in situations where buffs are stacked.
