Funny thing is that Bard (archer) would still be last (and is last right now) among all DPS.
This. Entire thread and no-one mentions a single class.

Jobs are not classes.

I believe THM tops the class DPS. As a BLM they only have access to one damage buff, in return they get their bonus stats, Flare and Convert.

If they were to drop the soul stone, they gain Blood for Blood and Internal Release so it's not a huge loss in DPS.

BRD doesn't lose much DPS going back to ARC though, they only really lose the bonus stats.

I guess it would depend if fight is single target or multi-target.
