What is the biggest single damage number possible (no LB)

[ShinigamiB06]

Are there groups that can finish AK in ten minutes?

yes, there are. there are several youtube videos of people finishing it in give or take 10 minutes.

I really don't get the point of people complaining about other jobs damage compared to yours. Nobody is stopping you from playing said job that is so much better. Just play what you enjoy... I play dragoon because I find it more fun then sitting back an spamming spells that take seconds to cast. End of story and if they do more damage so be it at least Im having fun doing what Im doing and thats kinda the point of the game is it not?

usually i try not to get caught up in these things, but you honestly caught me at a really bad time. and that is why i will say that "You can do much more than 2k in 2 seconds." is by far the stupidest thing i have read in this forum so far. The best geared dragoons can hit a little over 1k with blood for blood and life surge with full thrust which is the highest burst damage skill available. and for that scenario, it would have to be an ideal scenario with both buffs on, which have crazy cooldowns so its not like you deal that damage consistently, plus the fact that it is the third skill as part of a combo chain. furthermore, that skill is part of the global cooldown so casting your next skill will take 2.5 seconds and no skill off the global cooldown will bring you up to 2k.

if you want to debate with me, im all for it. but be prepared to state facts and not made up numbers to express stupid ideology.

and for the record, blm dont just out damage other dps classes in aoe, they do so in single target too.

It was a mistake, I meant 10 seconds, since I was replying to your example
And yes, BLM can out damage anything as long as they stand still and have nothing else to care about than their casting bar.

(Now though, 2 crits of FT/Jump in a row under BfB would give a total of 2k2. But yes, it'd have to be in perfect conditions)

And finally, show me a video of AK under 10 minutes. WP yes, AK... as you said, be prepared to state facts.

From my casual Garuda run lastnight, DMG: 7,783 in one flare
Love my BLM!




before everyone ;; The absolutely horrible "have to be facing the mob" and consistent frictions equal this out.

for a dragoon to deal 2k damage, even with all his buffs, it would take way more than ten seconds.

That's only 200 dps required, which is low for a decently geared lvl 50 that excels at single target.

My personal best at +1 and one more ilv90 item is 2060. Not as high as some other here but im still proud of it.

That is a lie. I main bard but my Alt job at the moment is dragoon and i have hetroi armor and still only have af1 head and arms, with full DL accessories and i'm hitting about 1100 crits with blood for blood and lifesurge true thrust. The best geared dragoons hit much, much harder than that. How would a class built for single target burst damage hit just over 1k when my bard that has low potency attacks has the potential to crit for around 800....

Are you hitting marmots outside gridania or something? (Does that even make a difference in this game?) After getting the Bulges (424 total str, mostly level 70 gear) I don't think I saw a crit over 1000 on ifrit. Certainly never when I had Ifrit's spear.

Since Odins execute can be counted as a limitbreak I would say the servers 90000. An the servers are definitly unbuffed. Imagine a wellequipped server with some skill.
