Need for DPS - which job is the most damaging?

Mythic sam, ragnarok drk, mythic drg. Those are my top 3 picks. Shoha with lvl 3 aftermath on mythic is just insane 0.o And a 30% boost to drakesbane is just insane too.

As a DoT DD, it can maintain consistent high dmg WSs, but its melee can't keep up well due to native high delay h2h (unlike mnk).

You CAN TP feed automatons. Heat Capacitor with triple FM will even beat SAM, although you'd need to use a Kenkonken to use it most effectively. Without KKK, it'll be a bit trickier, but still beats /SAM.

Also, H2H delay is not the issue when compared between MNK and PUP, PUP can get lower delay then MNK. MNK has the advantage in skill and JAs to give it higher damage per hit, but PUP has the better hits/round (when you include pet.)

But as someone already mentioned, comparing PUP to other jobs is very difficult. There's too many variables floating around, and too few people that can manage all of them in the midst of battle. Even SE devs have trouble with PUP.

In lowman situations (like dynamis or abyssea) mythic pup should beat a mythic sam. Other than that, no. It's pretty much ryugohige drg or koga sam. Their weaponskills are too powerful.

You forgot to mention that a haste capped 2 hander blows any 1 hand DD out of the water. As haste increases, 1 handers fall behind.

From personal experience from seeing the dmg out put by members of my ls mythic drg lvl 99 polearm has done around 5-6k consistantly to Arch Dynamis Lord. Amano lvl 99 using shoha i have seen hit 10k to ADL but consistant damage is around 5-6k as well. Ragnarok lvl 99 on drk i have seen do around the same as the Amano but I have seen it do around 13k to CC in Abyssea Misereaux. A lvl 99 Apoc I have done 4800 to ADL but more consistant with about 3,900-4k this is with souleater and last resort in effect. We do not have any other mythics in ls to test dmg with yet. As for our Vere mnks they all have switched over or are currently working on ukon due to Vere low damage out put.

Blms say hello..... Thundaja, blizzaja, firaja me-te-orrrrrr. (No my gimped ass ain't got it yet, but once I dooooo, muhahahaha). In any case, we still do cool stuff with our mp..... Dropping 5-6k bombs when ever we darn well please..... Take that muscle bound dd.

I'm dropping 8k WS whenever I damn well please. And about half of that in melee damage in between. And I never run out of MP.

And goes plop when his epic buffs wear..... and the good ol blms clean up the mess after as usual... :P
