Highest Dps

[Skeet]

So, most people after a PvP, check to see how they've done in kills, damage given, and/or damage healed. I'm curious as to what the highest damage a DPS has done that people have seen in Frontline.

It's over 9000!

I've seen summoner end with 240k and runner up was a dragoon at 140k.

I remeber your name so it was probably me. Ive went 10-2 240k and 15-3 298k both on saturday. so if thats the day you seen it. that was me haha.

But really smn is OP and thats coming from a SMN. Ive broke 300k dmg done in one FL.

28k damage and 5 kills might not seem like much but considering I did it as a Paladin and managed to out dps several of the actual dps in the match I think its impressive.

Damage numbers are not the only indicator of "skill". you have to see it in a whole and in comparison to others in the end of the specific battle.

If there are endless battles at flags, its most likely that the damage number on its own increases very much. If you defend a flag and no opponent is coming along its most unlikely that you will deal that high dmg numbers.. and especially the SMN can do much aeo damage over time with DoTs (weak aeo damage over time) which means no big burst damage like BLM can do but in a total it may be higher. And if he uses Aeo Limit breaks on many people also.

But yea. 240k seems very high, and no he is doubtfully not a bad player and knows what he does
the one and only indicator for a good player is the COMPARISON to other damage numbers in that specific battle. 85k damage can be high when most of the others just did around 45k damage. +aeo damage may be higher in a total, but if the single damage is high also stands on an other paper.

for example one run i did 115k damage as a black mage, but had 11 kills... while the other dds had around 1-4 kills.

i myself believe that blm can do much more burst damage from the start, while smn has to built up his damage over time.

Exactly. I'm worried that people read these posts and jump on bandwagons or (even worse) ostracize jobs/classes because of the numbers alone. "DRG is bad dps, I saw it on forums, please switch!" etc... People are posting big numbers (which is the point of this thread of course), but I can only hope that readers realize they're from Team A/C with 3 healers vs another team with 3 healers and there's a non-stop fight going on until the end...or whatever the case may be lol.

i know a dragoon who did 168k, and seen a summoner do 260k, very close numbers, but just to set the records

The highest kills I have ever seen for all 3 GC is 15 kills, but average player health is only about 4k. If someone has 140K dps but only with let's say 10 kills. I am not sure whether i should praise him or questioning his skill of landing fatal blow.
