[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 8054276, member: 6795602"] Analyzing data isn't going to show you how effective a class is. Analyzing data is going to show you how effective an average player that plays that class is. You aren't measuring the class independently of the player. There's a difference in arguing DPR isn't perfect and DPR is nearly worthless. I agree it's not perfect, but it is very worthwhile. Some cars may handle a little bet on snow. Some on wet roads. Some on dry roads. Some on offroad. How the heck can I possibly answer which car handles the best in the real world? Car manufacturers aren't trying to answer the question of which car is the most effective. If they were, all that data would be nearly pointless. They have a different goal in mind - to sale the best car they can sale. Adequate, saftey, power, speed, amenities and style for a good price (to essentially maximize their profits). Different people value different things more or less and the car companies all sell different cars because of those differences. [/QUOTE]
