@ Vaeria, please do tell why you think BLM stands at the top.

Interesting thread~ First off, Atreus's numbers are VERY believable. Considering that pld is at the absolute bottom of the killme-list, ALL plds SHOULD be getting these numbers. Higher survivability, way less pressure = way more time to stay engaged and dog your targets.

While his numbers are believable, there are certain obvious requirements that must be met. One being that you're constantly engaged. No running around from point to point minus the initial time to run to a spot. The second requirement being the opposing team and his own team are full of healers keeping each other alive. There is no way in hell a PLD can do 100k+ dps otherwise. And on the off chance a PLD says they hit over 100k dps without having those two requirements met, then both teams engaged must really suck and don't have the skill to kill people off.

-Also, it is good to take note that if a PLD is doing these numbers, they aren't playing their class right. If you want to DPS, then play a DPS class. Sure you don't get hit a lot as a PLD, but you sure as hell won't do as much damage as an actual DPS class.

-I've also tried pushing DPS for fun as a PLD and my damage averages somewhere between 60-85k. This includes running from point to point and playing FL like its supposed to be played; not fighting in one spot like an enlarged version of WD. Only times I've ever hit over 100k as it were the times when the other teams had 6+ WHM's, which in itself is very rare.
