What is the best DD?

[Greatguardian]

I want to be the strongest DD there is. Please tell me what job is strongest and why so I can be the best DD.

You want to be the very best?

Like no one ever was?

BST Is the most powerful. They are so powerful plus you have really powerful pet that gets atmas too. If you add both of them up they would do the most damage out of any job!!

I would put a top geared drg and his pet against a top geared bst and his anyday

DRK would win with souleater

Yes and no.

I think that without pets DRG would outdamage a BST.

From what I've seen though, wyverns are pretty weak pets.

If you choose the right jug pet the total damage of BST+PET would win by a fair amount.

It has 50% resist to polearms, only 12.5% resist to swords, magic is another story. Wish12oz made the same mistake in another thread when bragging about his blade:hi.

Actually I was stating it was a bad blade hi and I used a terrible weapon for the jin, you should learn how to read.

Actually, doesnt mictlantecuhtli take 200% physical damage when casting? Even with losing 50% you would still be doing 150% extra damage. I can do 7k on neutral mobs with drakes and I dont even have a relic/mythic/emp.

I would be willing to bet that when it takes extra damage it cancels all damage type mitigation myself.

Bad Hi or not, its still doing 37.5% more damage unresisted, +% damage taken does not remove the natural resistances a mob has in place already. It'd be like if we tried to WS a skeleton that had -25% damage from slashing/pierce, but still had +100% damage taken, it isnt going to be an automatic +75% damage taken, it's going to be +100% after the resistance is calculated.

I call BS, no drg can average more than 3.5-4.5k with drakes, random 5-6k spikes maybe on lucky triple attacks, but no way in hell you are hitting 7k on nonpiercing weakness mobs.
