So you're telling me..

Even at 90, it’s within the margin of error, and samurai is still top dog aDPS wise, which is what matters for Reaper as well. Reaper overtakes Samurai for aDPS around the 70% bracket, and it is extremely close. People are putting way too much on Circle’s 3% that is used selfishly. Reaper plays into windows just as much as Samurai does.

Reaper being forgiving I got nothing for. It’s there, and I’d personally like to be punished more for execution mistakes that aren’t uptime related. I’m chalking that up to SE trying something new with Reaper and being on the conservative side with their kit. Samurai was as well when it was released. It’s not going to get more depth right now though. It’s a brand new job, so instead of people crying for it to be nerfed (when it’s not even broken) maybe they should learn to play it well and look for ways to improve its depth. As it stands, I don’t think anyone who is adamant about it being nerfed even plays it at any length, or is able to put up a good showing with it. Translation? Their opinions mean jack on the matter, both because of their “objective” lack of understanding of the job, and because it just comes off as hating.

Personally, if Ninja and Dragoon were doing more DPS and the base version of Reaper had a little more depth (as if samurai has THAT much) I wonder if we’d hear people bitching to this degree.

Yeah we can for sure agree to disagree on buffing vs nerfing when it comes to balance and stuff like that, some part of your argument though i think just dont make sense regardless of opinion, what does it even mean the circle is used selfishly? Is it because it gives you plentiful harvest? As it is now "selfish" use or not its still contributing around the same rdps as battle litany (20 to 30 less so its really negligible), which is supposed to be the main buff of a more rdps focused job like dragoon.

Now if you have adps comparable to sam like the lord and saviour yoshi p has said (which i think just means they intend rpr to be more of an adps job but i am not him so ofc i may be wrong), but you also have a raid buff as good as battle litany, doesnt it make sense that people point that out? I understand the argument that if you are looking at your logs to improve you want to look at adps since that depends on you while rdps depends on how well your teammates play, but that damage still exists.

Also your "what if reaper was harder/had more depth and the other classes were tuned better" is just funny, yeah, surprisingly if balance was better less people would complain about it, i think its pretty easy to understand why being outperformed by people putting in less effort than you feels bad.
