The parser's floating around I've seen have SMN dps in between BRD and everyone else. Although, while playing my SCH, all the SMN I've seen just spam Ruin.

Progressed through and completed are different. A wow raid usually takes up to a month for the best guilds to beat. The rest are a joke. SWTOR is very quick. Rift, it depends. But most are a joke because most mmos are trying to change mmos from hotkeys to button mashing... all imo of course

There is so much bad advice going out in this thread, it's incredible.

Currently monks are the best dps in the game. The trick is to stop using demolish and touch of death. I'm not kidding. There are spread sheets out there, you can look it up for yourselves. But currently monks can parse for approximately 190-210 dps in level 45 AF gear. Other classes peak at about 170..

Please provide source. I'm sure that weaving in touch of death, fracture and demolish which get damage increase from GL and Twin Snake is DPS gain.

Anyone that think Monks are the lowest DPS is terrible, have no idea what they are doing, or is just bitter over something.

Or party with bad tanks that spin targets around like tops.

Monks, Black Mages, Archers, and Dragoons are all on par together with dps with the Summoner being dead last. Having a 50 Summoner with gear, I can honestly say our damage is pathetic right now and needs to be changed. Our pets dmg is terrible which should be the staple of our dmg. Im so fed up with it I've stopped playing it and now trying to figure out which of the other 4 I want to play.

I rerolled my level 40 summoner I made a new character level 41 black mage at the moment

Go black mage we are the actual warlocks of the game's universe and blowing stuff up is so much fun.

Well that odd I ran Amdapor Keep with no dots. I did 20 more DPS then when I used dots (on last boss) according to FFXIVLog Parser. This parser does register dots....

How much are Summoners dots ticking for? I keep hearing they are terrible DPS but I think it may be how the numbers display instead of just being flat out bad.

Yeah I did an instance with a not sooo great tank and it was a pretty horrible experience. Tank have to learn to stay still more in this game than any other.
