*Vote* Who does the most damage?

[Aj5000]

Lol, me and my friend are arguing on who does the most damage with FULL Tp, Best equipment, Best weapon, etc. We would always be discussing this. I was wondering what u guys think in your opinion on who really deep down AT LVL 75 will do the most damage? :confused:

My friend thought Black Mage. See below why.

He said " A taru with full equip and armor at 75 will do the most damage because since BLM's get INT, MND, MP, etc bonuses that helps get them to do more damage. Including their Magic ATK+ Job Traits. A BLM has many destructional spells like Flare, Blizzard IV, Aero IV, etc. BUT, i told him that BLM'S may do tons of damage but they have a LONG casting time AND use MP. So overall the BLM may do tons of damage but in my opinion they can't do that much in a LONG period of time.

My opinion is...... I know that you really can't just pick out who does the most damage but i would love to know with your guys opinions on this topic. I believe RNG AND SAM do the most DAMAGE in the SHORTEST period of time and even LONG period of time. See below why i think that.

Well, first lets start off with RNG. Rng's have Ranged ACC+ and Ranged ATK+ with their Equipment and Weapon. RNG can build up TP fast and can unleash some devasting Weapon Skills. Their 2 hour can perform ALOT of damage as well too. Barrage may be their biggest DAMAGE DEALING moves. They also have some goodie Job Abilities like Shadowbind, Unlimited Shot, and Sharpshot. The ONLY downfall i think a RNG may have is the cost and supply of arrows or bolts. Otherwise in my opinion they can deal BIG damage.

Last, i think a SAM can also deal damage as well. A Samurai is all about TP. They have TP booster Job Traits and even Meditate that gradually charges TP. Third Eye allows them to dodge the next attack towards them. If a Sam builded up 300 TP and unleashed A simple Move like Tachi: Enpi on a monster with pretty good evasion and defense that move will do ALOT of damage. Even after the SAM does that he can use his 2 hour and do 3 Tachi:Enpi's again. Also after the SAM has 0 TP and No 2 hour he can still do damage with his Great Katana and keep building TP to keep on Unleashing devasting attacks. TP is a big advantage towards a Samurai.

These things u just read are (JUST OPINIONS). Please try and Vote and state your opinions but don't go dissing other JOBS. Just stick to the topic.

Thanks guys! Can't wait to hear what u guys think.

One more thing i want to know who will do the most damage WITHOUT subjobs!

Thank You!

I picked SAM because I am one, but I'd say with all the best gear possible and not counting the hate and death you would recieve, BLM or RNG are going to be up there. If we count subs, RNG with WAR sub will do a lot of damage. Also, a DRK with Souleater, Last Resort, and Berserk on with BRD speed ups and haste on could probably do okay damage. I don't know if it would be a lot of damage, but how about a SAM/NIN with Ridill and Kraken club spamming spirits within on too weak mobs? :sweat:

[iglak]

without subjobs?
over time?
assuming all abilities are used when they are available, if they help, NOT including 2hrs (exception: DRG).
against an enemy that can't attack and lasts... say 30 minutes?

umm...
RNG using the best gun and best bullets that gil can buy stacks of.

then probably a BST with a pet of their level, both attacking.

then MNK close behind that.

then probably DRG, especially with the wyvern out. and also BSTs with a pet a few bits lower than their level.

then BLM, if using mp+ when healing food. BLMs can also melee for a bit of extra damage while casting. but like you said, BLMs have to rest, so they can't be on top.

then probably WAR, DRK, and SAM tied, and THFs that use a lot of STR equipment as well as a bunch of DEX and AGI. oh, and probably also NINs with attacking equipment, RDMs, and SMNs that attack with their pets (they also need to heal later)

then probably PLD, if using attacking equipment instead of tanking equipment.

then BLMs that use MP+ food instead of MP+ when healing food.

then WHMs and BRDs.

ninja.

why?

fuma shuriken.

Nothing else comes close.

[bonovoxpsu]

summoner.

they become sick at high lvls....

ask any high lvl player.

[Langolier]

I voted Dark Knight. We may not actually do the most, but we have the best style.

*douses himself in gasoline*

[Voila!]

This thread is retarded.

Damage over time? In one hit? Do avatars count? I read summoner, not avatar, and summoners aren't strong at all. Are we counting pets together with the master?

This thread is retarded. You can tell who doesn't know what the shit they're talking about because they throw out an answer without knowing exactly what the question is.

[Pounce]

I'll limit my reasonings to jobs frequently seen in PT. i.e. I don't know how a BST would stack up since I've never partied with one. Ditto for a shuriken throwing ninja, I've never partied with one.

#1 would be RNG. Damage is only limited by hate and gil. I'd say RNG > BLM, since while both jobs have to worry about hate, a BLM can run out of MP whereas a RNG typically brings enough arrows to fire nonstop.

#2 would either be MNK or BLM. I'd say in most cases, it's MNK. A nicely equipped MNK does sick damage. While a BLM can do great damage too, I don't think the majority of BLM out there can achieve their maximum damage output. The ideal BLM would hover just below the point of stealing hate - obviously not everyone can do that.

#3 maybe DRK. Two words: Spinning Slash.

SAM can be a great DD, but it's pretty dependent on having a BLM in PT, IMHO. It's more of a support DD than a straight DD like RNG, MNK, or DRK.

DRG can goe toe to toe in regular hit damage with any DD with the exception of RNG. But I still question the strength of their weapon skills. I haven't seen the new, improved Wheeling Thrust yet.

Not sure where WAR stands. I've heard they make awesome DDs, but haven't partied with one in a looong while.

Why are jobs like WHM or RDM or PLD even in this poll?

[csBahamut]

I voted BRD because I know it's wrong:spin:

[TheImpKing]

WHM, obviously

:spin: :spin:

[Lostbeatz]

your all wrong, PLD

[l)@RK-l)EVIL]

BEST damage dealers in the game BLM even at exp pt just refresh him and keep hate away from him

about others job i believe after lv 66 drk do the highest damage

[bonovoxpsu]

heh, well naturally when i say smn i mean his avatar.

have you guys ever seen a high lvl summoner 2hour? its unreal.

last night, lvl 70 summoner in our pt was trying his new moves....

garuda was doing over 1k damage (not 2hour, just blood pact) with her "menacing claw" move or whatever it was called against spiders.

over 1k damage. that is UNREAL. this wasn't a burst, this wasn't anything. just a normal move. our blm could only beat that if it was a well timed burst and he got lucky.

post 70, its always summoner if we're talking most damage in a compressed time period.

and yes, this thread is retarded. having fun in it anyway.

When it comes to NMs/HNMs, yes this is amazing. The SMN in my LS was pulling off atleast 800 damage on Kirin every minute (well, it would miss at times because of kiting ).

However, in an EXP PT, a DRK or a THF should be pulling off 1k damage every minute aswell (I wouldn't including the burst damage as damage from the DRK or THF, the starter(s) contributed to it as well). A BLM should be MBing for atleast 1k damage every minute (Apperently the one you were PTing w/ can't, which is pretty sad from what I've seen). The difference is, DRKs, THFs, and BLMs will be doing additional damage within the minutes, putting them above a SMNs damage in an EXP PT.

And I vote WAR, explanation in my sig.

(And yes I know WAR won't out damage a RNG or a BLM, but I gotta have a thing called pride. )
