DPS recommends?

Hi everyone, I have been some forums and based on what people are experience or have seen DRG is the lowest hitting damage wise for DPS? I understand summoner got beefed up xD but if that's the case what does everyone recommend on DPS? I want to be a good hitter and since I'm an Au ra (Xaela) I figures DRG would be good. I wanted to hear some opinions first and thanks for taking the time to read my post!

a pld they basically doing the dmg a mch does if they stayed in sword oath etc also you get easy que times

NIN. They're basically mandatory for all content thanks to TA.

What do you prefer first? Ranged or Melee? Judging from what you said though, it looks like you prefer melee.

DRG is, apparently, at the low end for DPS as far as the melee ones go. That said... the expansion, along with all the class/job changes, did just come out so I wouldn't be surprised if there were to be some balancing acts done amongst at least some of the jobs within the next few patches so I wouldn't worry too terribly much on that.

If you're looking to just hit hard, SAM and BLM are good for that. If you're looking for speed... MNK and NIN are good for that. If you like the thought of bossing a mini primal around while doing your own thing, SMN might be fun.

I'd say take a look at some guides and maybe even watch some videos about jobs you might be interested in and see what one(s) click with you and go from there.

I don't mind ranted or melee I like all of the classes I just don't want to be the weakest in que. XD but thank you all for your replies ^ ^

Bard, Ninja, and Red Mage are the most solid dps at the moment. Good mechanically with good utility.

Samurai is the highest personal dps with good mechanics but no/minimal utility.

Red Mage and Samurai may be overpopulated, and it might be hard to get into PF groups as you generally want to avoid doubling up. PF groups always want a good Bard or Ninja though.

Summoner, Mechanist, and Dragoon have mechanical issues than make them unfun and frustrating.

Monk and Black Mage are ok, but getting overshadowed by Samurai and Red Mage at the moment.

I see thank you so much!
