So much silliness in this thread.
Assass does have some strong opening burst but so what? The important thing is the overall DPS in the fight.
You can argue that 15-20 seconds is also a burst window, just a longer burst window for 3-4 seconds.
I would argue that "burst" is a brief period of time where your dps is significantly higher than its average output.
Alright, this conversation is stuck entirely in whether or not the conversation itself has merit to exist, and is (and would probably continue to be) plagued by borderline off-topic/spam comments, so I'm going to go ahead and close this before people start attacking each other more viciously.
