Thread: [Megathread] What's wrong with 6.21, patch balance and nerfing p8s

That raid buff is factored into the dps calculation, it's called rDPS, but even when looking at those numbers it is still far behind BLM who brings 0 party buffs. All of these tools do not matter in the first place when the lack of dps on redmage prevents you from beating the enrage week 1. Meeting the dps check in minimum ilvl gear also assumes you have 0 deaths so the raise is entirely useless as well.

Yes, it should not do the same dps as a blm
No, it should not be this wide of a gap. And telling people to stop talking is childish.
