I just thought you meant saying "everyone is welcome to their opinion" as "you think what you want, I think what I want, we can all think we're right all by ourselves", and I think for things like this an opinion is only as good as the facts that back it up.
i am not home right now, but i shall play with dps and stuff when i get there after work (which i should go back to). however i just want to put thos out there.
my boywife kayako (176 corsair) and myself have been doing zakum arm solos for exp, i must say its damn good too. he takes 25minutes to kill them all while i take 45. he does have a few more attack than me but it does not warant 20 more minutes of killing. except their damage is extremely higher than ours, i am pretty sure an equally leveled and geared BM or hero can do it faster too.
point being MM dps on 1 target is pretty sad, we are still using strafe which as much as i like it is still sub par compared to other 4th job main attacking skills.
i am going to say this once more since people think i dont like MM. i love my MM and i woulnt trade it for any other class, however i am realistic and i admit we are not first tier damage dealers. sure on bosses that deff up and super deff up we add a little extra with sexy snipe but its not really that much to be considered "awesome damage". that said nothing makes me weter than stealing WB at HT with snipe on them heads.
edit: read your edit about training. i dont even use strafe much anymore, DB, pierce and snipe do most of the killing and FP keeps me off harms way. i do love training my MM and i wish we had a 6 part boss that we could pierce to death.
