Funny how you never once responded to OP enquires...

¡All the posts!

Your responses in this thread really make me doubt you're living in the same world the rest of us are.

There, there. /headpat

Level up multiple DPS jobs so you can fill in as necessary, if you're worried about endgame. Optimizing your skills usually requires having at least 34 levels on your subclasses, so you're going to be leveling multiple classes anyway. I have BLM, BRD, SMN, and MNK all at 50 right now myself. Summoner and monk are my favorites but they are all fun.

Yea drg is nice too. Nothing against it as it provides benefits as well, and when you get that rotation down it feels so good doing that burst. It's just that Id rather have mnk and blm, since I wouldn't replace bard and smn (a good smn).

Drgs are not very tricky, but tricky to realize how strong they are. They are very versatile and while they can't do it like a mnk, they can basically do any part that makes up a whole.

Their piercing debuff also increase bard damages, and bards foe requiem(there's no penality except MP, most brds...just don't do that for some reason) increases blm/smn/sch damage, etc.

One titan EX run was so powerful, the team wiped pushing phases too fast. And it was a line up of drg/brd/brd/blm, basically one triple amplifying force. (Everyone would basically parse like a boss)

So there are synergies that may or may not be obvious. Same with double/triple monks that parse amazingly well forgetting the fact that they're probably getting massive uptime from Dragon kick debuff.

There's no perfect dps, but in general as of 2.1, bard is foremost the lynchpin of dps, that only somewhat changed since 2.0. Drg/mnk share and blm/smn/brd share (weird I know).
