Final Fantasy XIV is a game that incorporates many types of battle jobs that players can play in a variety of ways.

All battle jobs have a 'burst phase,' which is a time when the player can do the greatest damage with a certain collection of skills and buffs. This frequently occurs just at the commencement of the combat, which is referred to as the 'openers.'

Burst DPS damage is essential for clearing an intense trial, a savage raid, and especially ultimate raids. This is due to the fact that certain instances have bosses that will cast 'Enrage,' a spell that will wipe the whole party upon execution.

This post will go over five DPS battle occupations that offer the best burst DPS damage that damages the boss and are also a lot of fun to play.

5. Ninja

While Ninja may be difficult to learn, especially for beginners, this profession really rewards players who have learned the job and can execute the moves flawlessly.

Why using Ninja's burst phase is satisfying:

• Using different varieties of Ninjutsu and Tenchijin.
• Using Trick Attack to add vulnerability to the boss so the Ninja and the rest of the party can deal more damage.
