Best DPS class in the game?

[Salaster]

BRD is ahead for many reason :
- only class that can deal damage while moving. BLM must cast and DRG need to avoid aoe by running away from melee range.
- Songs are supposed to lower DPS by 20%. If a BRD does not use them, his dps is higher. If he must use them, he will fall behind other dps

Yes, basically in a practical fight (Which means adds, disapearing boss, movement needed etc) it is :

BRD > BLM > DRG > SMN > MNK

Which is sad because the utility they all bring is like :

BRD (Songs) > BLM (Resist CD + Transcendance) > SMN (REZ + Virus) > MNK (Mantra + 10% INT debuff) > DRG (5% Mantra)

So basically the best dps also brings the best utility. The perfect raid is like :

1 PLD
1 WAR
1 WHM
1 SCH
1 SMN
1 BRD
1 BLM
1 MNK

No point in having a Dragoon.
