So hear me out. We are the warrior of light. We go and fight mighty primals and recreations of primals and ancient beings with all of our strength and magic, and we put out at most a measly 21,000 rDPS at best.
Cue the Auger. Stephanien has been holding out on us. This bad boy with a cast time of just around 3 seconds does a whopping 2.96 million damage in a single charge, and he gave us 5 charges to load up. That's 14.8 million damage any old botanist or miner can just freely wander around with tucked away on their back. An 8 man party of gatherers could, in just 15 seconds, unleash a whopping 118,400,000 damage on an unsuspecting target over 15 seconds, and a full alliance a mind-boggling 355,200,000 damage.
But you say "oh those are just numbers those don't mean anything." So lets add perspective. Your average fully faceted gatherer has around 18,700HP. If they took a single hit from an auger, it would kill them 157 times over. Even a tank hanging out at ~160,000HP is no match for the devastation our harvesting cannon of death, no amount of TBN or Hallowed ground will save you from a hit for 18.5x your total health. We don't need white auracite. We just need everyone armed with Augers. Stephanien has single-handedly with this invention become the most powerful individual in all of Eorzea.
EDIT: Replaced my usage of 'DPS' with damage to not confuse anyone.
