I think I'll sound like a broken recorder because of how much I mentionned it but:
Our comp is MNK/RDM/MCH/DNC, we are currently at E4S, despite being a little late due to searching a healer.

The good news, we have the DPS required to pass the enrage with a little bit of margin, hurray!
The bad news, because we have only 1 of the "Pantheon DPS" we have to push harder than a MNK/DRG/BLM/X comp. Not only that but ironically, any mistake that would lower our DPS would punish us much more than going with Pantheon DPS.

We have to get out of the "Viable to clear content" box. Yes it's not a certain job from a certain game the devs butchered because they didn't wanted to be bothered with balancing it.
But why do we have to push harder and be irreproachable compared to the other composition?

For instance: If our DNC and RDM would switch to DRG and BLM, we would gain around 3.1k DPS, the content would be easier. The RDM ability to res is not playing in the balanced enough to compensate 1.5k DPS.
