Opinions On Rank Of Best Damage Dealers

Engetsuto alone would beat Leviathan's Couse.

Tomoe trumps both of them though.

-Speaks in Layman's terms-

i wanna see a picture of that please :)

WTF I can't quote Veg? lol.

We can parse Veg, just not tonight I don't think. I'll let ya know when I'm ready to do it. Yes?.

EDIT: Overwhelm can be +19%dmg alright... When you're IN FRONT of the mob right?.

I'll say 5 acc makes Tomoe and Couse(3 Base dmg) close, but how in any way shape or form will 2 acc beat 4 base dmg?

Sadly mistaken if you beleive 2 acc > 4 base DMG and 8 attack

k

If you have to waste a whole day to get a lackluster polearm with a low chance of dropping from a very difficult BCNM, yeah, I'll take Engetsuto before I waste my time.

Wouldn't mind Ifrit's Bow from there though...

Quoting isn't working well at the moment I find :( just use [ quote] and [ /quote] without the spaces.

This, and
Oh, http://www.ffxiah.com/item.php?id=18097 > Engetsuto,

Tomoe > Engetsuto

I mean it is close between Tomoe and Levi Couse, I'd like to see them against each other, but I aint getting Couse anytime soon and I have Tomoe so meh :s

Edit**

I have to keep Gondo for my WAR lol :o,

And the question was what is better, not what is better with a variable for which is harder to obtain <.<;;

pup/blm

Just because you don't want to go through the effort to get it does not make it better, sorry.
That's like saying perdu > relic gax because you don't want to go through all the trouble associated w/ obtaining a relic.

ITT: people who have reduced a game into mathematical equations that drain the fun completely and utterly from said game

64 now >_>

Even at level 64 I'm able to see Paladin's awesomeness over every other DD in the game, and even some heavy DD outside the game, like Chuck Norris, Optimus Prime, He-Man, and Hulk Hogan's pasta al dente.

that was funny, but still, PLD is not that awesome.

Hard to choose the best DDs... the problem is we all have certain mobs in mind where job X is best. So on physical resistant mobs SAM, WAR etc. are a bad choice... on the other hand if they are magical resistant forget about blm and sch. So "overall" hybrid jobs that have both magical and physical choices of dmg will win, IMO.

So if i had to make a list, wouldn't have certain mobs in mind and focus on the damage i guess it would be like:

1. BLU+PUP - not beatable, to many different damage types accessible + in good dmg
2. RDM - good magical dmg, melee dmg requires good equip + Enspells are a welcome boost
3. SMN - unfortunatly limited to BP-timer, but awesome with full - BP-time gear and can switch with RDM
4. RNG - with Trueflight build
5. COR - with Leaden Salute build
6. NIN - elemental wheel
7. DRK - Souleater and Drains
8. MNK - only with Formless Strikes (VERY argueable: 3 mins duration and 10 mins recast)
9. WAR + SAM + SCH + BLM - too focused on magic or melee + bad weapon choices for mages
10. rest

This is just another view of it. If you specify your damage for example on colibri parties etc. this list is will change dramatically of course. It is just an overall-dmg opinion of mine.

You should change jobs when you need to.

Private server?

lol

lol

Physical DD

1.Sam> 2.Rng> 3.Drg> 4.War> 5>.Drk 6.Mnk> 7.Blu> 8.Cor> 9.Nin> 10.Thf> 11.Bst> 12.Lolpup> 13.Loldnc

Mage DD
1.Blm> 2.Sch> 3.Rdm> 4.Lolpupblm> 5.>Blu> 6.Whm (Banishhhhaga!) 7.For those who nuke on drk >.>

BLM cannoit beat SCH ever

RDM over spiritreaver-automaton? never lol



/sign

blm is the worst dd of all the mages thier magic conservation is aweful

pup outdoes pretty much every other job just no one reliezed it till now

MP conservation is not the only measure of magical DD potential.

That's like saying a KC DRK is a rubbish DD as it can only deal damage for 30-60 seconds.

As with everything in this game... it is situational.

I second this lol, blm is the better DD over SCH imo as it was meant to be.

I unsecond this.SCH will beat BLM in short fights where you spam your mp pool as fast as possible due to them casting faster and using less mp per spell. And the gap will get even bigger in long fights due to the same reason. Please tell me how blm can beat SCH.

I am not state which is better, as then we go down the old (and very boring ) road of sch vs blm flame wars.

But being able to nuke for longer (due to better MP conservation) is not always an advantage if the fight doesn't last long enough for MP to be a concern.

Or (in the case of limbus or dynamis) the event involves free MP crates/statues.

But in something like einherjar where you need to keep a constantly high level out damage output for 30mins then being able to nuke constantly (I mean at least 3-4 a minute) for a long time is important.

Horses, courses etc



The answer is AM II and Tier 3 -gas (where appropriate). They use a boat load of MP, but will do more damage than any T4. And due to how magic bursts work (a static percentage increase) these are gain more from bursting.

It doesnt need to last long for the sch to outdue the black mage the fast cast from sch alone tips things in favor of sch even in short fights

go to the blm vs sch thread maxse

thf > all
