well honestly we are, but I don't like seeing so many everywhere. Some is ok but EVERYWHERE it's getting out of hand[/quote]It'd be understandable if you'd been a marksman since like the release of 4th job like I am, but seeing your name, I doubt that.

I'd Say:

F/P Mage (Mist Explosion)
Cannoneer (Hyper Skill that triples damage lines)
and Hero (Generally have alot of ATK boost skills, and also have access to a Cursed/Liberated Kaiserium)

@TheVoid: I usually don't have meteor, and I don't fully charge Big Bang either. I'll check later to see the difference.

@PeachPit: Somewhere around 20k, self-buffed I think.

With hyper skills, despite the terrible bucc animation, buccs have one of the best, hitting crazy high and minimal cooldown. They are easily in the top 5 adventurers.

Never thought I'd see the day where Bucc is nominated strongest :')

I don't really know, but I do think paladin's should be up there. They have the best survivablity for boss runs (dem defenses and that HP recovery during Pot Lock), they have crash and threaten. Imo, they're really under-rated and really strong.

Top 3 not in order: Marksman, DualBlade, Bucc. Bucc would be number one but our hyper skills suck >.< >.<

@Deadly1337: fine child you the straight and i just forget the damage on pvp depends on the range so how could i think my frotsprey may kill you with 300k dmg agaisnt your powerfull bahamut, jesus i'm wrong :O

[quote=EatingCrayon]My range is slightly higher than that and I am about halfway there of hitting max per line. What.[/quote]

Are you stacking your DoT? o_o
When my F/p is just using its wand and nothing else, its range is 19k and I can still damage cap with eruption.

OT: (As of now)
1. Hero
2. Shadower
3. Buccaneer

Deadly1337

@UsoppStyle: except for our bahamut with the highest base damage of any adventurer summon which in pvp ignores all skills and defences, would deal 30-80% every hit.
our big bang deals massive damage when fully charges, angel ray does solid pvp damage.
we have 3 ways to heal[infinity/heal/magic shield] combined with dispel and doom, i'm still saying we're the strongest .

Marksman don't get strong till 195, and that's a pretty unrealistic goal for unfunded players.[/quote]

I agree with this one. My unfunded UA CB has been nearly on par with Kaisers at Nett's Pyramid, and Phase Dash only hits 4 mobs. o.o And also if the F/P's aren't lying, then they are hitting max with 13k range with Infinity and max critical...

And also Dual Blades and Sairs are somewhere near this list post-hypers.

@Deadly1337 @UsoppStyle yeah in both versions of PvP bishops hid behind things like heal and holy magic shell which made then a complete hassle to try to kill. They weren't really "strong"per say, they were just built in a way that made it hard for them to be killed. Kinda like paladins. ahhhh this makes me miss PvP even more

OT: (Pre-Hyper Skills)
Bucc
DB
Corsair
