Thread: 5.08 Patch - DPS still not balanced.

Why did SE refuse to create male Vierra? Because that's simply what they decided to do.

Why does BLM deal more damage than RDM? Because that's how SE decided to order them.

And since it seems like the last few commentors needed a reminder:

You are being a straight up distracting, straw man propping, belligerent fool right now. It should be pretty obvious your argument holds no water and is only wasting peoples time at this point.

on your 1700 remark... Not only does that fluctuate slightly each day, but im willing to bet your disparity estimate was just plain wrong.

On leviathin. (which is not a 100% uptime fight so numbers drop a bit) rDPS wise of course
25th percentile RDM is at 10.88k MNK is at 12.75 = 1.87k difference,
50th percentile RMD 11.5 MNK 13.3 1,8k difference
75th percentile DNC at 12k MNK at 13.95k 1.95k difference. Someone saying "almost 2000" is literally basically true.

AND on full uptime E2 the gap at certain percentiles is literally BIGGER than 2k. btw

Back on E3 Levi takes something longer than 11 minutes to kill. If enrage in that fight was at 11 minutes (shorter than it is in reality) clear dps is higher than 72k dps.
If you take 1.7k out of that dps (70.3 dps) there is a disparity of 1122000 damage to be made up by the team with 1.7k dps less.
That divided by 70300 means that the team with 1.7k DPS less is literally 16 SECONDS SLOWER

16 seconds is a freaking huge disparity right now. Easily, absolutely easily right now having a monk over a RDM or DNC makes a fight easier. literally 16 seconds easier at equivalent skill levels. Thats Freaking ridiculous. Means the rest of the team has to make up for effectively 16 seconds of performance to pass the same dps checks.

It means class choice alone can be responsible for a clear vs. and enrage at 2.3% remaining HP (46398000/47520000 damage disparity as explained above)

I have no idea how someone could look at that and think thats okay.
