Hi everyone im new to the boards and to the game aswell i just wanted to know what classes are good for high dmg in short amount of time ( i played a rogue in wow before i came to FFXI, so i like big numbers lol) and could you also suggest a good sub-job to help with the dmg. And i know this may asking of a lot but can anyone post a link to some vids that show some classes doing high dmg. Sry about the noob sounding thread, but thanks again.

Re: High Dmg class
For quick burst damage, Black Mage is the way to go. No one deals damage in a hurry quite the way BLMs do (but you pay the price for it in spades if you do).
Other than that, Dark Knight, Samurai, Monk, and Summoner can all do quick bursts of damage under various circumstances (but again, conditionally).
You can probably find quite a few vids if you look around in the Video collection forum here.

Re: High Dmg class
Thf probaby. They can use sneak/trick attack every 30 seconds which boost their damage up for a single blow. These are also hate controlling tools.There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot,
but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence
transform a yellow spot into the sun.

Re: High Dmg class
Sneak Attack and Trick Attack have a 1 minute /recast.
RNG has to be listed as well. With WS, Barrage, and Eagle Eye Shot, they drop a mob pretty nicely. WAR can drop some HUGE Rampages starting in the 60's as well.
But keep in mind all these big hits don't start until mid-50's or 60s. So at Lv.15 in the Dunes you're not going to be putting up huge numbers, so you'll still have to be patient.Odude

Re: High Dmg class
Rangers probably own the single shot damage with 2000+ side/slug. Of course rare of rare, crits + other factors.
Of course you're not beating a blm in light's out senerio often.Comment

I assume Jei was talking about post-60, when THFs get Assassin and alternate between SA and TA every 30 seconds.Originally posted by tdhDryhus, Elvaan male | Bismarck | San d'Oria 6 | Windurst 5

Re: High Dmg class
no actually I posted 1 minute. Then I got confused any edit it to 30 seconds ^^ So that's my mistake.There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot,
but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence
transform a yellow spot into the sun.

Re: High Dmg class
I've met Cleen on a few occasions, and he helped me unlock Corsair...knowing his EQ, he can probably do more with regular THF WS. Unless that was a "Continued" Chain (Darkness->WS->Darkness), it's probably just for show.Originally posted by Jei

By the way, fighting skelletons with Dynamis sized groups isn't a good idea. I would've had an easier time soloing COR

Re: High Dmg class
Knowing the physical damage formula, RNG is the most potent job to load highest damage.
The next job who can load easy high damage is probably DRK(all the attack bonus traits and those overkill damage-pumping JAs)
and followed by THF (since THF main SATA will convert all DEX and AGI to base damage, THF can simulate having very high base damage weapon easily)

Well. this is strictly speaking physical DD.

Re: High Dmg class
Whoah ... is that you? Awesome job if it is
Yah, RNGs can still output those ridiculously high numbers. A friend recently was concerned about her RNG, but I told her, just do your job and know what you're doing at all times. It wasn't a whup-nerf to send RNGs into the basement and I can still find good RNGs here and there that will just give even a PLD at 72+ a run for his/her money on hate.
DRKs can unload a good deal of burst damage as well, provided they sub THF to put the potency into some of their WSs. However, Guillotine is the only one trick pony for a DRK/WAR (Albeit a decent one trick pony in meripo up in Sky)
I rarely PT with THFs, so I wouldn't know how they fare in burst damage. However, seeing them in test parties or baby HNM runs made me respect them a great deal.
