DPS Class with the Highest Burst Damage?

[EpicOreo80]

DRG seems like a good option from my melee point of view, but since DRG has 2 DoTs and you hate DoTs, BLM should be for you.
BRD, MCH and SMN seems to have a few good bursts but BLM's DPS is all about burst :v (even their DoT can burst)

I don't necessarily hate DoTs. I just prefer burst damage.

Here's our A3S clear video where everyone is pretty much blowing everything at the start. As you can see, MCH is pretty far ahead in terms of burst DPS. Don't forget to add the pets since I parse them separately lol. http://www.twitch.tv/haxetc/v/11819039

They're all pretty close. The MNK is i203, the DRG is i197 and the SMN is i196.

DRG are pretty much the best DPS class in the game right now. Best sustained DPS and one of the highest burst. Can't lose with them.

MCH and BRD are also good, but you have to watch out for certain things with MCH. If you want to max your burst, you have to play perfectly in those 15 seconds until Wildfire (while hoping boss mechanics don't ruin it by going invincible or something... This happens in Neverreap a lot). You are also reliant on DRG (again that class) for max damage as you can't apply the piercing debuff yourself.

So, yeah. As much as I love my MCH, if you want to play a class with high burst and also the best overall DPS, go DRG.
