Top 10 1v1 classes
Desregard the dpm charts, they are far from the true scenarios.
What are the top 10 1v1 classes based on the tools they have on hand to take on a boss? Obviously those tools don't mean anything if you can't dps decently as well.
These are the classes I'd put in the list (in no particular order yet):
NW, Kaiser, Hayato, DB, TB, I/L, Hero, BaM (with good ping), Phantom, Demon avenger/Slayer, Shadower and Aran.
I'm basing this on: Dmg, I-frames, mobility, status resistance, sustain/tankiness and ways to dodge attacks.
Don't think bind is important on a job anymore since the release of Erda Nova.

@beefly: You bet. They have the best starting armor. A close tie with Evan's straw hat.
I agree with the list if youre talking about funded classes. Phantom's DPM unfunded is pretty trash though since their base damage sucks and they need funds to scale well
@gakinotsukai: Ah, so you main a Kinesis.
@beefly
Shadower has I-frames and its new 5th job skill it's quiet possibly the best dodging skill in game atm. They also have stance and don't die from 1hit KO moves with meal guard (?). The new assassinate + Eviscerate combo boosts their combo potential very highly now and last but not least, while their dpm alone isn't the best, they can make every hit count with their insane dmg.
Any mage branch for me, I can't imagine bossing without teleport.
I would replace TB with cannoneer tbh. Cannoneer's more tanky against tough bosses.
Why did you put shadower there? Though I'm not sure why people keep saying shad sucks either.
@littletlk
If they had more damage I'd consider them to be top 5 tbh. But all around they have good status resistance, dmg reduction, %dmg reduction, sustainability, perfect range teleport both vertically and horizontally, push/pull skills and yea, consistent dmg.
Their biggest flaw is the telecast. It's a big part of their damage but it depends not only on having a good ping but also virtually static bosses (unless you have very very good control, in which Case u can abuse telecast).
But overal I think they have all the tools to be top notch bossers with their biggest flaw being dmg.
I don't think Bam is in the top 10. We're up there, but not that high.
