Most Sought-after DPS class?

[Luin]

Mmh, I don't see RDM anywhere, considering it's a really great DPS class for progression/casual raiding. But as many people will probably say it soon, play the DPS that attracts you the most. Only BLM and SAM seems pretty much shunned by the community, even though all class are viable at raiding. If you however wants to be sure to find a quick spot in any roster, play NIN/BRD/DRG.

And that's all it's good for. RDM has low dps compared to blm/smn and its raises arent useful outside of progression. Compare RDM to SMN. SMN has a Swiftcast>Raise. If you need to raise more than 2 times or so a minute (also considering cohealer), then you'll likely wipe to enrage anyway. Also compared to SMN, it has no rdps contribution. So SMN has significantly more personal DPS, and has Devotion for rdps. Embolden is almost a joke. It should really be at most 90s like Devotion.

If you play DRG/BRD/NIN, you will never be denied from a group (obviously this isn't considering if they already *have* one).

The problem is how hard it is to be a good player on those jobs. For SigSavage, BRD/DRG are at 38k and 35k parses respectively, and the next highest is NIN at 30k. And an unpopular job like MCH is 11k.
