pshh, shame on you all. everyone knows that pld is dps masta and blm is the best tank.

nah in all seriousness, best dps is situational depending on the length of the fight, the amount of enemies you're fighting, enemy attributes (hp, abilities, etc.), aaaaand party make-up. the job/class that currently highest advantage though is arc/brd. mage dps have casting times and can't run and cast. melee can attack and run at the same time but they need to be up close at all times. arc/brd can run and shoot without a problem. of course, if there is only 1 enemy, and that enemy is stationary, then the point is moot which proves what the first sentence of the paragraph says. just some food for thought for you guys.
