Which dps class relies the least on cooldowns?

[InfiniteOmega]

Started playing not too long ago and tried summoner 'cause it seemed fun. Although, i'm starting to get bored with the many long-ish cooldowns i hafta keep track of to maximize damage. Not to mention, making a mistake seems to really tank my dps.

Could anyone recommend a dps class whose output is more consistent, and relies less on cooldowns and stances? I'd rather not have 15 seconds of glory and then have mediocre output while i wait for stuff. Pretty much anything but monk i think.



EDIT: Hey guys, thanx for all the responses. ^_^

So it seems the consensus for, "non-MNK whose parser dps doesn't tank if you miss-time a cooldown or screw up your rotation," is BLM?

I was also kinda thinking this myself, but i was just hoping to reach out for some advice before i invest more time in another class. I was gonna try DRG, but people seem to say that if you mess up thier GL equivalent your output suffers.

Anyway thanx again. I'm gonna get this SMN to 60 before leveling a new job, so if anyone has any more opinions on the matter, more input is always appreciated.

Also, the only reason i didn't wanna play MNK is 'cause i usually play the punching stuff class in RPGs, so i just really wanted to try something different.
