4th job Single Target DPS

I have a request but i'm not sure if it deserves its own special thread or not.

Is it possibly to do a DPS calculation along the lines of

"What damage range does a class using a 10 minute apple + 5 minute cider out DPS an NL using a 15 minute apple"

I'm not sure if it'll be a constant value i.e.

- The damage range must be +1000 higher than the NL
- The damage range must be x1.2 higher than the NL

And this would compare all classes (Except mages I guess) vs. NLs.

Reason: Me and another person are getting tired of always being shafted against apples during boss runs. It's really annoying when a 12x/13x/14x NL gets an apple over a 16x corsair or a 18x DrK. We know we out DPS them during the 10min apple duration, and we're assuming the damage we put out during the 10minutes makes up for the 5minutes of alchemist NLs have. I'm just seeing if that really is the case and at what point (Damage range) it is true.

It'll also be a fun side project for you :x
