Thread: 5.08 Patch - DPS still not balanced.

Why did you include DNC? You only mentioned RDM, DRG and BRD in your original comment.

Shifting the goal posts? It's OK. But 1500+ would've been a more reasonable claim. 500 dps is a pretty significant number relative to the disparities that are present. Surely you could agree?

Weird, I'm not finding the word massive in any of my comments. For your points:

1) It should be obvious how early clear groups are able to gear up their dominant jobs faster than others.
2) If there are high skilled players gearing up dominant jobs faster than others, and purposefully seeking to establish such "dominance", this fact would not be impartial to any statistics being gathered, particularly early on.

Doesn't have to be massive, which is why I never alluded to it being such. Within the intricacies of the statistics however, it should at least be considered as having the possibility of influencing them. If we are dealing in the range of 10% disparity, even finding 1% becomes relatively meaningful.

It depends on the discussion. If the argument is that some DPS need to buffed because it's more difficult meet damage requirements with them compared to other jobs, then looking at the bare minimum damage requirements and it's statistics is absolutely relevant.
