  1. Samurai used to be an absolute monster of DPS as it is designed as a Selfish DPS meaning it brings little to nothing to its team in the matter of buffs.
    Unfortunately the recent updates to it took a fat ass brick through the face as they removed an ability that increased damage dealt (very repetitive to use but classy) and then while they increased the general damage of the skills they also added free Regular crits to its strongest attacks, the General damage level of the class tanked from those changes. So while Samurai remains pretty strong it lost a certain level of the insanity it used to be.

  2. 🤔 biggest dps is black mage played well.

    Reaper and samurai and monk would be tied just about with reaper probably pulling ahead as it does have some party utility unlike samurai.

    Samurai did get kaiten removed which used some gauge to make your next skill crit but then they gave all those skills you would’ve used it on an auto crit anyways. With two different gauge spenders and the shoha meditation gauge spender Samurai is still VERY powerful tho thanks to kaiten being removed it’ll probably lose players as it’s just missing a tidbit of complexity (not that hitting kaiten was complex but the move you did was extra samurai flavoring).

    Bard currently is better than machinist bc they’re afraid of machinist being too powerful. Mch is supposed to be the selfish dps of ranger but bc ranged don’t have cast times and don’t have to be near the boss their damage is limited on purpose. Which is fine, however changes were brought to bard to let it do decent amounts of damage along with its party buffing utilities. Bard has a song for everything and raid wide damage buffs WHILE hitting just as hard as machinist. So while the way of the gun is a lot of fun it’s not as strong as the bow.

    And just a note for redmage cuz it’s my baby, they did actually buff up the damage now. Before the red mage was probably going to sit in front of the healers unless you had a particularly aggressive white mage but now he can stay right in the middle and possibly over take the melees if they mess up. Plus the magic barrier, the free healing, and the fast rez lifts red mage to being a literal raid saver

  3. Monk's damage and reaper are also pretty high atm! Monk specially, if you can get those positionals down pat. I may be wrong but I think monk is topping the dps game atm in the latest patch savage? Ninja's no slouch either. Honestly, I recommend you shift through jobs and find the one that's most fun for you as that will in turn, make you have higher dps simply out of enjoyment for the class.

  4. After changes, red mage actually does incredible DPS. It's on par with the higher tier DPS dealers. They reduced time between your Red Mage combo and gap closer stacks up to two times.

  5. Summoner isn't "mindless" in savage or ultimate. You're a Red Mage with slightly more mobility who has to pre-plan their cast timers because you need to stand still for 6 seconds then dash into melee range and stand there for 2 more seconds before casting a massive 4.5 second GCD that requires the boss to stay still for 8 seconds to deal maximum damage. The only time you have maximum mobility is during Titan and your 1&2 minute burst window.

  6. The 'dealing damage too fast' is more of putting damage in the wrong place. Bosses that enrage like that generally have some sort of add or other target to dps, and if you push their HP too low while those targets are still up, that's what causes the enrage.

  7. He doesn't touch on this but another part to using abilities/oGCDs properly is understanding 1st and 2nd order. Cause there is an underlying 0.5s master GCD that prevents stacking up oGCDs all at once typically you can only perform 2 of them, referred to as double weaving, in rare cases a job might ask you to Triple weave but that's really rare. Learning to Double weave abilities is essential for most jobs and that usually comes with learning what abilities best fit into the 1st or second slots when doing so. Generally though, if the oGCD starts a duration based buff (Dancer's Devilment, Fragoon's Litany, Summoner's Searing Light, etc) are second order as to ensure they get the most out of their duration.

  8. "I want to have the biggest numbers" : Legit pick any melee dps and practice, if youre good youll be top damage in any content that isnt savage. Even in top level content where everyone is playing well the top dps melee changes patch by patch and the difference is only like sub5% so just find the dps that you think is FUN and play it a ton and youll be top dps in no time 🙂

    edit: If you must know which jobs do the most however , its currently 1. SAMURAI 2. NINJA 3. MONK 4. BLACKMAGE 5. DRAGOON 6. REAPER
