Perhaps there's some sort of middle ground between 1% parsers and people who only log in to idle in Limsa where job balance can be important without necessarily requiring absolute parity.

DPS numbers matter relative to what else the class brings to a party. When it comes to RDM, no the numbers don't matter. It's utility is already too strong. It may be niche and situational "where" that strength shows, but when it does it's disgusting.
