Best DPS class in the game?

[Riese]

I did forget to mention earlier that a major problem with phase 3 parsing was that a lot of it was performed by level 50s on Cancer. A lever 30 FATE. That means that hit rate, crit chance, damage taken (avoidance of PBAOEs) and other factors could be ignored and heavily imbalance the results. Where a level 50 FATE might actually do enough to make a melee want to avoid the PBAOE, a 50 character in a 30 shrugs it off.

Personally, I do not count Limit Break as a DPS boost for a class. It's not a class ability really.

In the end, I would not be surprised to see a few more small changes over some patches in the future to be more balanced. I do not believe they want a situation where one class is so dominant in something that other classes become the FFXI's LOLDRG. Nor do I think they will want groups that were like the days of Weapons in sky or Colibri later on.

Edit: To Kukurumei, DoTs can crit. What I'm not sure of at the moment is if it's effected by buffs at all or if it's before they're applied or when the buff(s) are applied.
