This is where Machinist gets hopelessly outclassed. To repeat myself from earlier.
That's because MCH isn't a buff class? Sure DNC gave 1.494k to MCHs 447 but how much more personal DPS did MCH contribute over Dancer? If DNC only does 5.8k DPS but gains 1.4k DPS thru their buffs for a total of 7.2k dmg, and MCH does 7.2k DPS but gains nothing from buffs, then they both contribute the same. My previous post shows the results of DPS gained thru buffs and MCH contributes more except when played with a group at the highest levels and then the gap between all 3 phys-ranged dps is within 2% of each other.
