I never played 11, in fact the other two MMOs i've played were RO (classic korean MMO, you'd learn to love the materia system compared to their cards) and CoH (equipment? what equipment?).

However whereas they might not have exactly a lot of +DPS they certainly have other attributes that can supplant that, Bravura itself has a very large +ATK, +Regen and reduces recast on your damage reflect move, all of which is probably better than +3~4 DPS
