Also by this stage most people will have their deepshadow weapon and atleast a deepshadow chest which is a significant boost for the raids.At this stage there is no excuse for any raid party to be claiming they need only certain setups or cant clear without that set up.This just means they are bad.
This was weeks ago before we got our deepshadow weapons. We don't have dps problems now unless there's an unacceptable amount of dying involved.

And that was exactly my point with having the best dps raid setup, we're running 2 ranged dps and 1 red mage; red mage, dancer, and machinist are currently on the bottom half of the dps roster and having any of those given jobs be a top half dps job would have given us the 1% edge to clear the enrage in that particular instance.
