DANCER lowest dps in game? why

[SwarleyMcSwarls]

Not really i have tested this. On titania ex when partnered with monk i produced roughly 7 saber dances before she cast midsummers night dream. With the samurai it was roughly 3 that a 600 potency each saber dancer. It is a big difference and will effect over all dps more if the person partnering the dancer can give them more Esprit gain.

Also partnering the monk.... im gonna pass this to my partner as he can explain it better.

As monk you are literally the only crit reliant class in the game. Getting those 20% off devilment from dancer gives you a bigger boost then any other class. Monk also beeing the clasd with lowest gcd makes it a good pick for dancer too. Sure those 5% are good for any class, but overall dps differences are about 1k in total, between all dps classes, so we are talking 50-100 difference here.

Saying "I tested this" versus people running simulators to actually math out the gains isn't really proving a point. Also, you're saying monk is attacking more than twice the speed of samurai with those numbers, and monks are spending 20 out of every 90s with just +5% atk speed, and the other 70s at +20% atk speed. While samurai sits at a constant +13%. So not 2 1/3 times the amount of attacks unless one person just isn't hitting buttons. Which means that person isn't doing the most damage in your party. So they definitely should not be your dance partner.

Monk is one of the best dance partners, but it is still dependent on how much damage that person is doing. If you have people on different classes far outperforming the monk in your party, yielding an extra forbidden chakra isn't going to make up the difference. I will agree with you in that if all things are equal, monk is probably your best choice (because of the crit synergy and high personal damage). But don't just be automatically partnering every monk you are partied with if you are trying to be optimal with the dancer buffs.
