So you're telling me..

I’m not benefitting from anything. I play all melee, and I’ve main’d every one of them at various points all the way back to HW. Reaper is just the one I’m currently focusing on.

I don’t particularly think there is a crushing imbalance between the melee. Using all fights in Panda normal at the 95 and 99 bracket. There is a 4-5% difference in the rDPS of Dragoon and Reaper. 4-5%. There is a 2-3% difference between the rDPS of Reaper and Samurai. 2-3%. I didn’t bother do do monk, but its spread will be similar to Reaper. Ninja is the only outlier that falls outside of 5%, but even then it’s only 6%.

So, tell me again how reaper is massively outperforming the other melee?
