DPS Class with the Highest Burst Damage?

[EpicOreo80]

I am not a big fan of DOTs so I would like to know which classes have really high even OP burst damage.

I am trying to decide on a DPS class for once I get my WAR to lvl 60.

I had BLM or DRG in mind but if there are any other classes that have higher burst damage I would like to know. And if you want to suggest BLM or DRG that would be fine as well.

From what I can tell, everyone seems to be saying it's dragoon. Although we do have 2 DoTs in our rotation as well, so we have good sustained DPS alongside that.

[Rioszz]

Machinist has the highest burst in the game, but their sustained DPS isn't as good as the melee's of course.

[Ephier]

Machinist first and Bard in second.

[AniCelestine]

But those 2 are lowest on sustain remember that.

[Drakeos]

SMN with Deathflare burst upto 9-10k crit

Machinist first and Bard in second.

I'm pretty jealous of Bard's barrage + empyreal arrow. Wildfire is larger burst overall but it's hard not to envy that single gcd, no setup needed combo.

It's pretty neat too as it lets you do things like instagib A1S alarums without having to wait for resins and spazers.

Don't get me started on that instagib that they get. And they still whine about the class. BAR+EA is super strong, especially with buffs. First skill in their rotation does 6k+ guaranteed damage. Like ew.

wildfire does more dmg but needs setup and perfection or everything falls apart , is a bit unfair but talk to daddy SE , we bards arent the enemy, EA + barrage is all what we have for burst

@OP , Drgs can be scary too with all the CDs up , and is the best sustained , if u doubt btw blm and drg , choose DRG no doubt ,but is melee , and blm is turret caster, so if u prefer a caster go for it!
