	Pointless "guide" that contains all of 5 classes and says next to nothing about them. I don't see how anyone could actually make use of this.

Added significant info about the classes, plus math.--Franken Kesey 09:14, 1 May 2019 (MDT)

The info about the classes can be gleaned by just looking at their tables... Surgo (talk) 10:29, 1 May 2019 (MDT)

What's the point of this?

This page isn't exactly discoverable, and in most cases the synergy is pretty minor. What is this page for? Surgo (talk) 07:51, 30 April 2019 (MDT)

Noticed a few classes meld standard classes, thus aggregated them here (much like the limb manifesto). This is easily discoverable in the Character Optimization section under Guides, in fact it is the 2nd on the list. Plan to add other classes and synergized articles to it. If you find others you are welcome to add.--Franken Kesey 08:03, 30 April 2019 (MDT)

I understand the what, I'm asking about the why. Surgo (talk) 08:07, 30 April 2019 (MDT)

The title of this subject and your initial question (which you wrote) literally is what. Regardless, can also answer why. If a user was looking for a theme of synergized classes they can find them all here. This is the point of optimized guides, a place to find about a thematic group like spells that fvcking kill people. Spells that fvcking kill people did not create new material, it only aggregated and grouped what was already in existence.--Franken Kesey 08:18, 30 April 2019 (MDT)

Changed the focus of this page to compare DPR of classes.--Franken Kesey 09:20, 4 May 2019 (MDT)

Yeah, that's also pointless. There are so many different choices apart from class that this doesn't make for anything useful unless you just want to know what does the most damage, and at that point I'd point you towards the Tome Samurai and be done with it, or something similar. DPS of a specific class in a vacuum can be used to try to argue for a certain balance range, but this on its own is quite pointless. --Ghostwheel (talk) 10:15, 4 May 2019 (MDT)

Benchmarks

Optimization is the process of putting various pieces together to create something greater than the sum of its parts. Simply showing benchmarks of classes does not do very much to further the case of this page, as it doesn't add anything substantial for its reason of existence. --Ghostwheel (talk) 01:06, 1 May 2019 (MDT)

Want to have a list of all classes that synergize standardized classes. Doubt that this is all of them here (will add on finding others). DPR is the easiest and fairest way to compare the different classes. This is a guide, not an optimized build. There is a difference.--Franken Kesey 07:32, 1 May 2019 (MDT)
