Fastest DPS to quest with

[LittleSparrow]

Hello guys.

I was wondering what the class with the highest DPS output is so I can do quests faster.

I am aware of the fact that you can get through everything but I'm leveling an alt and I want to do as many quests as possible in the shortest amount of time.
Can you guys help me out?

Red mage probably

I hear the skip button works well for speed if you're doing main story.

Samurai is the highest individual DPS right now in the game followed by Monk and Black Mage.
I won't recommand Monk because you have to do positionnals to output the best dps possible. Won't recommand Black Mage either cause he's a turret, need to move and lack of self heal, even though he has a barrier.
Samurai sounds like a good option.

Otherwise, Red Mage is a good option. Not the very best dps but easiest rotation to learn, very good damages, mitigation and self heal.
Probably one of the best dps to do solo content.

Ah, but the thing is, this alt hasn't reached 50 yet so no Samurai or Red Mage for me. I considered Monk as well but as you said, positionals are required for top DPS and you can't exactly properly perform them in 1v1 situations.
I was intending on going Samurai after 50.

Yeah... It sucks not having a good self heal on most other DPS. Makes anything solo a chore

Summoner might also be nice. Great damages (single target and aoe), but the big plus for him is that you can literally run around and do damages thanks to the pet and dots.
It somehow helps in bad situation, being able to move, being a ranged but still do damages. Summoner has also Titan to tank for him.

If you hit level 50, Samurai will get you though due to its strong Potancy, PVE red mage will keep you alive and can do alot of damage with decent movement for a spell caster.

if not Black mage hits like a truck with summoner/arcanist for the survivablity in PVE.

if your wanting queues to go fast get a friend whos a healer then it dont matter lol.

Mayyyybe ninja? I think it only has 1 positional pre 50 which is a rear bonus. Does really good dps and quite speedy once u get all 3 mudras. Mudras themselves are easy to do and remember.

Ninja is my current main DPS, so getting used to the Mudras wouldn't be a problem since I already have them all memorized.

I think right now it's a toss up between Summoner and Ninja, atleast pre-50.
