Most Sought-after DPS class?

[Maero]

While true about Red Mage being at the "lower end" dps wise most players do not know how to play their class properly anyhow so chances of a Red Mage being better then other casters is always possible, lol
The content is clearable in any job really even the ones with little to so support (Sam, Red Mage, etc..)

Also running Bard (or any job for that matter) in Palace of the Dead is no way at all a good indicator on how it can perform.
Stone, Sky and Sea would be a better option even
