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

[/I] 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.

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.

No. Just, no. Critting for 1100? With that gear? No.
I have fullDL with AF2 and Allagan pieces mixed in, all bonus stats put into STR, and relic+1 and I'm critting for just under 1100 with FullThrust, B4B, HT, Disembowel, and Life Surge.

Depends on what mob you're fighting. I've hit over 1100. But regardless, what Azuma-kun said is pretty much right lol. You're barely gonna 'constantly' go over that, unless some serious other factors are involved.
