So you're telling me..

A lot of people have been asking that RPR be the weakest dps. No joke, this thread has more than a handful of calls to nerf it into the ground, and to be on par if not lower than NIN.

It gets worse when you look at other threads and on reddit.

Still nobody here asks for nerfs like "2000 DPS less".

RPR should have the lowest melee DPS in comparison. Having a gap from ~300/400 DPS (buffs already included) between the 1st and the 5th melee should be fine. I´ve posted a little list some pages ago.
Of course you don´t have to agree with it, but i highly doubt that anyone here is like "Nerf it into the ground!". It´s still about balance based on difficulty and utility. If e.g. a top DRG would´ve 400 DPS more than RPR, then the average is probably even since DRG has way more stuff to care about. (But if a top RPR has 400 more than a top DRG, than the average RPR has 800 more... a similar state we´ve already and which is not good...)

Stuff like AC is a different thing. It´s just to powerful as tank-healing is. SE needs to adjust all of that and should give healers their role back. Stuff which assist healer (Mantra, Nophica) is something different than having pure heal-utilities which are as strong as or even stronger than the most tools in healer kits.

I haven't even seen anyone say it should be the lowest of melee dps.

I did... either the lowest melee or even with MNK on the 4th place. NIN, DRG and SAM should definately have a comfortzone since they need more input and have 0 utility.
