Best DPS class in the game?

[Reika]

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.
