I saw a Reddit post recently where somebody scienced out "ice mage" rotations and managed to pull something like 4.6k, which is more than the average player. Food for thought.

Stop making excuses for bad play. My static ran Ridorana as classes, and all of our DPS as well as the MRD were in the top 10, performing better than people with access to much stronger abilities. Don't get me wrong, the game is absolutely awful at teaching you how to play it at 70, but to be outperformed by people deliberately playing suboptimally is frankly embarrassing.
