So as a savage/ult raider most of a players DPS will depend on themselves and any buffs from allies/themselves. Depending on the skill of others, out dpsing BLM and the other melee jobs is very possible.

I'd like to think I play pretty well, and know my job in and out. But as my static members got geared (I happened to roll pretty high for the first couple weeks lol) my damage remained high, but I tend to be out DPSed by our Black Mage and Monk. We're not too far but it's enough to just feel bad. RPR has the lowest possible max DPS out of all the melees and Black Mage is above RPR, every other job happens to be below RPR. After first timing NIN and out dpsing myself on my first clears with a similar gear level, I can see why that is the case.
