    To put it in the simplest terms from my experience from playing MMOs, usually the weakest defensively, will be the strongest offensively. By that definition, Black Mage will be the highest DPS or DD (however you say it) in the game. But like others have said, it very much depends on how you play the class/job, equipment, and also the people in your party as some classes can give buffs to certain classes, but not to others. It's about finding that right mix for optimum damage.

    "I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have gil. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my fellow Eorzeans time shift to safety, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you." - Crisp Neeson to Bahamut, moments before the end of the Seventh Umbral Era, Nov. 11, 2012
    ... and that children, is how the people of this land are still alive and safe today.

    This is a comment that wasn't well thought out or even warranted as a response. You've stated a few obvious things such as "how you play your class" and "equipment" being thrown around loosely for the sanctity of the responses and the topic. To say that another class is better than one is a bold statement in considering that one class will always balance out another.

    My entire point is that there is going to be balance between every DPS class, along with tank classes. What one might be lacking, another will pick up for. It's just simple mechanics found in any MMO. Defensive stats on the character sheet have nothing to do with your damage output.

    I just want to point at that the title of the thread is "Best DPS class in the game", followed by the OP asking what the TOP dps will be in ARR. That happens to be what we are here to discuss, not the balance of things.

    And he was right, BLM. SE can't balance classes to save their lives, don't expect it so soon in the game.
