    Why is SMN DPS so high?

    Serious question. It seems to be the highest in the game right now.
    With Amdapor Keep gear and relic weapon, I'm consistently pulling around 250 DPS on all primals. Other classes with similar gear are capping out around 160-180.

    Should other classes maybe be brought up a bit, and SMN brought down a little? Unless AoE is required, there isn't much reason to not take 2 SMN + 2 BRD or 3 SMN + 1 BRD.


    EDIT: Because this thread is a cesspool of retardation, I just spent 10 minutes at Coerthas, writing down the damage values. Criticals were omitted.
    Ruin averaged 177.3 damage, 2.3 second cast
    Bio + Bio II + Miasma averaged 260 damage, every 2 seconds (this included criticals).
    Fester averaged 659.7 every 20 seconds
    Garuda averaged 177.4 every 3 seconds

    This totals 299.19 DPS. This is not including 10% crit rate, though some time is spent re-applying DoTs.

    This is in line with what parsers are showing, accounting for time casts are interrupted to move, the bosses are invulnerable, and reapplying DoTs.
