Highest DPS vs most fun

[SamuelMSr]

I know this is a loaded question and is up to personal opinion but I\\'m trying to find out what class has highest DPS and is fun to play.

I have a 32 NIN and already know I\\'m not going to like the mudra style stuff at all.

Just looking for opinions please.

My favorite color is blue. Hope this helps :P

Seriously, Jobs are mostly balanced and who's is supposed to know whats fun to you?

What you find fun is subjective. Some people like complicated jobs and being able to perform their mechanics in any situation. Like NIN, MNK, DRG, etc. Others prefer simpler mechanics that they don't need to think as much about so they can concentrate more on the specific encounter, like BRD or BLM.

Try MNK I guess. It's got high DPS and while the situational requirements can be a pain, probably is easier to deal with than mudras.

Like Spoekes said; the classes are currently very well balanced and all within range of each other. I'm sure some will shine in one situation more than another but all in all they are all capable.

As for fun? I personally adore my ninja. It's my favourite DPS. I love the speed they attack with, the burst they're capable of, and I love weaving in mudras.

IMO: my BLM trumps most DPS most of the time (end game gear and 135 relic) Only when a ninja or dragoon is able to stay on boss the entire time do they put out a bit more damage when equally geared. Really depends on fight. Love my BLM.

Because of the damage I have fun. I'm leveling BARD and enjoy the ability to jump all over the place. They have a more or less set rotation like BLM which may explain why I like it. Personally, I'm not a fan of melee so as others have stated, you'll have to determine if you like ranged or melee more. DOT DPS or not. For me, minimal doting and a ranged class.

How high on the dps chart is the bard? Is the bard looked for in end game content?

Lower than every other DPS, but most looked for.

My main class is BRD and well if you know how to Play BRD you are not the end of the dps chart. I don't like it that everyone declines BRD as a supporting class.
A good equipped and well played BRD is also a good DPS!

No matter how good of a bard you are, if the other DPS are at the same level, you will be the lowest(Unless there is a SMN in the party).

What makes them useful if bad dps?
