DPS at End Game

If they wanted a challenge, shouldn't they be playing as tank?

lol tank is the easiest job to play

This. Although I will say Warrior is definitely more difficult than Paladin.

Very Very False. Easiest is Dps > Tanks > Healer

As a tank I see playing DPS a lot harder you have to max your dps by doing much more complex rotations and a lot of mechanics tanks can just get hit by IE bombs on Titan, dps have to be on top of avoiding stuff or they are dead tanks can just get hit by whatever. Titan HM says hi, I pretty much have to do nothing on that fight besides hit a cooldown during mountain buster, I have a 3 button rotation most of the time and only have to worry about cooldowns when I am taking a lot of damage, the job is so easy to play much easier then any dps. If I am feeling lazy I much rather play tank then dps, because dps is a lot more work to play.

Hardest to easiest its like Healer > DPS > Tank

Sad, you still can't let titan go on a post not even about titan. Just stop, its childish at this point.

I don't think it's childish at all to observe your past posting history and make an observation about your posts on this forum as a result.

Your opinions are often incorrect as they were in Titan and as they are on this subject. Tanking is not a joke but it is far from difficult. DPS and healers both have it much more rough.

Play one and find out. I play all three.

I would say drg and mnk are equal at this point with some encounters better then one or another. Drg tend to be better over all for the newer content though.

They are both now far more powerful then range users by far. You can't beat a drg or mnk when there's something to hit.

Smn and blm are really hit or miss, they are in some cases even worse then a bad drg/mnk in the newer content. there's a reason for almost every class now, with exception of smn (because they still have some annoying issues), but smn can be really powerful in certain cases.

I mistook you for ZeroRains at first.

DRG is not more powerful than ranged users, sorry to burst your bubble. MNKs are pretty well up there. But SMNs destroy them on most fights. There is ALWAYS a need for a SMN due to battle res which frees up healers quite a bit and they can have almost 100% up time on any boss.

We already discussed this in another thread but BLM and SMN sit just fine right now. BLM can out DPS just about everyone on select encounters but MNK and often tie with SMNs. SMN can out DPS everyone besides MNK on select encounters.

Thank you for this post, it makes me laugh. The BLM can out DPS just about everyone, except half the other DPS jobs.... ahhhh good times.

That's why I hate people like you. SMN parse about 20% under drg/mnk consistantly, and even worse if they're bad, and anytime a smn is uber, the whole strategy has to be reworked around a smn, so they can be the star of the show. Drama queens like that group can do without, if it came down to clear.

SMN an be good, but it takes so much effort to make smn's good, a blms or a brd can do it just as well, with a more straightfoward strategy.

Drg and mnk on newer content rocks the range users. In 2.1 parses, drg,mnk comes in pretty close, with brd next follow by blm then smn. When a smm actually does good, the strategy is significantly different and tanks takes a lot of grumbling to work around the smn(s).

The only time where a smn had any significance uniqueness is still Turn4. All 2.1 f-smn- as they say on a general basis. They screw up the team more then they help (garuda ex uuugh). And when they are good, everyone has to do everything a little different to make up/have exceptionable parses.

Blms have their own problems, doing bad dps, but at least they won't wipe a pt like smn's. Brds are consistant, and mnk/drg as long as they know their role, are solid leaders (a wooping 30%+ parse on ultima/garuda is crazy, and forget titan)

You should go back and look at those parsers and how they work. You should know as anything with a DoT, that parsers cannot read DoT damage from the logs(since it doesn't exist in the log) and are always estimating it.

All this sounds like to me is that you never had the fortune of grouping with an actually good SMN. You'd have a very different opinion if you did.
