DPS King?

[Syfin]

Im debating on MNK BRD and DRG. I understand that different scenarios can put BRD above the other two( a movement intensove fight), but of the target is stationary who is king of dps? Do BLM or SMN do more? If anyone knows, who does the most single target dps? AOE? Lets keep the answers for stationary targets so we can see which has the most potential dps please.

It depends heavily on the fight the team set up and the skill level.

In a real world, their is more then enough assigned duties that top-dps is a bad then good. There is just so much you should be doing besides dps, it's not funny. A wipe usually happens because someone is too focus on doing damage then helping the team win.

Skill and tactics matter a lot more then dps, though there are times when certain classes are heaps and heaps disadvantaged/advantaged

Mnks are heavily disadvantaged when they can't figure out position, and bouncing around. But are very good when they have to fend for themselves or intercept adds etc. They require very little support from other team mates

Brds are good at rapid target switching and range. They are also good at burst, and their songs scale well. They can damage on the move. The lack in utilities that CC, and require a lot of support if they are ever threatened. So nice to have, but at the same time bad to have.

Blms aoe's are amazing, their CC are also amazing, their healing are amazing (for what it's worth), but they are completely locked down without frontal support. They need massive support to work their magic.

SMN are very good support, very mobile, and can really add up. They can't burst for crap and their move set is buggy as heck.

DRG are all rounder. They do everything a dps should do. No up or down. The rock of the dps. Though they eat up TP like nothing.

Theoretically I would say Drg is top-dps if you round out the game since you really can't go wrong sticking a drg in, but most people only look to end game, and even then, not even. as coil is hush hush, and everyone is picking on primal hard mode as the "look what I can do".

Great post, thank you this seems on point.
