    Stacking MCH (or anything more than two ranged) comes with a whole percent off of the total rDPS, which at 75k is substantial. There's a post right now theorizing you could double stack BLM over taking BLM+BRD and the loss means nothing; this is because of how much more damage BLM does than bard, but hypothetically if MCH and, say, SAM, did the same damage it wouldn't serve total rDPS well to just stack MCH over taking MCH+SAM. At most maybe you'd have people going 2r1m1c.
    Ehh, on the flip side, thats only knocking your dps down to 74.25k. Realistically, unless your dying at 1% enrage, that 1% damage wont matter. Which I get is actually happening to some groups. But Im sure its MUCH more common that your dying at a much higher % or killing it with a much more comfy window.

    Either way, wont hurt that much.

    It's cutting edge-level minor differences, to be sure. But in the hypothetical, stacking too many MCH (defined as: enough to lose 1% stats or more in party bonuses for not having one member of each role type in the party) just because MCH does MNK-level damage is still a dps negative; at most you'd see 2mch / 1melee / 1caster, perhaps, and the implications of that are up for interpretation. Last I checked as well, double stacking jobs still comes with a penalty to LB generation which itself hurts dps, but it's not as immediately noticeable.
