molagballin_: A perfectly played BLM should always be highest DPS of any job, due to just how hard it is to perfectly play BLM without losing any uptime, especially in savage/ultimate.
JamesTheTurnbull: I wouldn't even make a tier list until after the changes tuesday. I respect the hustle though.
fordy5788: As long as rez tax exists they are staying low at the totem pole
cutejustice: It’s also been circulating that WARs should have their damage nerfed and be at the bottom of all tanks if the established meta is that they’re experts at self healing. Effectively, that should put DRK at the very top of the damage list since they’re complete opposite of WARs.
Hozai_: imo AST should be S tier, 2 Light speed charges, best healer damage, several mits for a Regen healer. Perfect for prog, perfect for parse, perfect for speeds, it's by far the best healer in the game

edit: great vid though!
zensei7685: They should just make deaths design also apply a dot affect, that would be great
Re-bl1li: I love GNB in Dawntrail. It feels so good to play!!!
EternalBladeX: This list feels like a preference piece rather than actually understanding how each job fits in the current meta and even then we dont have enough information to work with outside of the EX.

Until Savage drops and we get more data samples to collect, we can only speculate based on how each job performs on the most basic level.

I do not get the whole point of using fflog rdps as a metric to compare each job with another when it has always been the case that phy ranged are never going to have a higher rdps than most melee or caster jobs excluding a select few and that is quite normal.

I do agree that MCH is not in the spot at the moment, but BRD seems to be fine.

DNC do need a few potency increase to help it catch up with the other phy ranged, but by no means are they bad.

I feel like you cannot compare the top rdps jobs like SAM, PICTO and etc with a phy ranged and call them shit. That is like trying to tell me that a BRD should hit as hard as a SAM but because it doesn't, it is garbage.
Ringo57869: Why does Picto need to be nerfed? Is it not good enough to just buff Black Mage to be above Picto? Legitimately curious
stanktatiousd7732: It’s crazy how I’ve seen so many of these tier lists and how inconsistent everyone’s seems to be. To summarize this for the few that read these comments, don’t take these lists too seriously. If you do enough (barely) digging then you will come across many tier lists of varying results. Play what’s fun, all jobs are feasible and can be universally for all contents. SE ain’t perfect by no means but they are obsessive about keeping things as balanced as possible and everyone is still breaking into the new lv100 jobs. Picto I’ve seen at the top of tier lists and as low as 5th; my friend who uses forbidden software to gage his damage has noted he’s seen picto top and bottom on the charts.

Play what you like or what class flows the best for you. RPR is another one who’s flopping like a fish on these charts as well so I’d take these with a healthy amount of salt. I main DRG, whose placements on these lists have been actually consistent, but according to the forbidden software I’m usually in the top 2-3 in terms of damage and that’s against picto, viper, and reaper as well. It’s in how you play and how often you floor tank.
Exaltable: Putting bard in A= basically just because phys ranges lower relative damage is wack. It's pretty damn peak in it's current state and it's only gonna get better in raids as people get BiS that scales better with it's kit.

This entire tier list just reads like someone reading an FFLOGS chart though to be honest.
