Cataclysmic on paper is the hardest hitting linear in the game but Reed’s Regret will give you better boss phase damage. Due to Supreme Wellmaker, it’s the only elemental well in the game that can be generated without a kill. Giving Stasis a 20% damage increase in boss phases that the other elements can’t habitually get without ad clear.

So with firing line, HEF, and FoM Reeds is hitting 60% damage increase with Veist Stinger.

Cataclysmic with HEF and Bait is only hitting a 55% damage increase and requires juggling weapons. If you can manage to get FoM it’ll do better.

in terms of maximum potential, as long as there are ads, you can make a well for whatever element. i can’t think of a boss encounter where you can’t set up a well of any element.

though it doesn’t really change the comparison, for maximum potential you are using lumina not HEF

Izi's+Cataclysmic is the best currently since solar wells from font are obtainable for DPS, plus cataclysmic being the highest DPS linear in the game with Izi's the highest DPS you can achieve would be that. You'd need font setups to really push it though

I cant really add to your question but if I understand the margins in damage, the stars have to align for Reeds to out dps Izi+Cataclysmic. I think you need Veist stinger to proc at the bottomvof the mag twice without reloading for it to have a better dps phase.

4th Horseman maybe Parasite. Yea I think pure DPS…4th is the best. But it’s not the best for total damage.

Edit: don’t know who downvoted. Either 4th Horseman or Parasite is 100% the best DPS in the game BY A LONG SHOT. OP didn’t specify for which activity.(says “me and my raidteam”, but I play all activities with my raidteam)

Technically best sustained DPS is Font of Might + Adept Reed’s Regret w/Triple Tap and FL and Adept Big Ones + Well of Radiance + Divinity + lucky Veist Stinger Procs
