So I was dueling a level 13 Inferno today, and he managed to pull off 2.7k burst repeatedly in a single energy bar... it was pretty impressive, especially since I had 6 levels on him. Made me wonder... what are your opinions and experiences of the AT with the highest single-target burst capabilities? (Since I can't make a poll ) - Inferno
- Tempest
- Marksman
- Soldier
From looking at the skill lists I'd assume tempest, but I've seen bigger numbers coming out from infernos...

Fire snake + Flash Fire + Unstable Accelerant + Immolation + Conflagration (fully maintained) = DPS machine.
Just my $.02
EDIT: Just noticed that he is level 13 which means he does not have most of the above mentioned powers. He must be using fire breath. If you think that has good DPS, you should see an Inferno with all of the above powers.

Inferno is loaded with debuffs but the Tempest is high damage and with a ludicrous amount of energy return to keep that damage up.

I've only played (so far) a marksman and an inferno (borrowed my friend's account and went to play around). Both are awesome. The marksman can dish out damage while still moving around at high speeds since you can maintain/charge your moves while moving around. Based on my experience, a marksman is either live, or live (just take fair game advantage + stat up on a bit of con and everything'll be fine). But here's inferno. It deals a lot, a lot more damage than a marksman. And the charge times are faster than that of a marksman. But you don't have any healing abilities (unless you equip a HoK item, or just beef up your con to the max). Hence, if you're looking for a single target burst high damager, go for the inferno. Both the marksman and inferno are AOE burst damagers, but the inferno works better by dealing 2x the damage which my marksman deals - I only deal about 200-300 damage per 1 sec with storm of arrows, but my friend's inferno + conflag R2 + burning rain = hitting everything 300-400 damage per 0.5 secs. Now you've made me want an inferno >

I don't know about PvE, but in PvP, as a soldier, I found all those others classes you listed the easiest to kill.

I have a 30 inferno and she can melts everything in her path...but basically takes a hit like a sheet of paper (ok, maybe a strong sheet of paper...) I've added some con and most gear I pick up has con (gives me around 3800hp). It helps also crafting healing or personal shields which adds to survivability. I love going into an inside mission and with my AOEs not only destroying baddies but any destructable enviroment around me.
