The use case for this question is mainly for bosses. Which skill/build has the highest potential single target boss dps?
Right now i'm running EQ which feels kinda low, getting breakpoints to match explosion with your APS is too expensive.
I narrowed it down to heavy strike or molten strike, although i'm open for suggestions.
Heavy strike - Highest base damage skill gem. 2-3x the heavy strike unique jewels that gives 20% chance to deal double damage. Helmet enchant with 15% AS/40% dmg is pretty cheap.
Gem setup: HS - multistrike - melee phys - added fire - faster attacks - ruthless (?)
Molten strike - Potentially really high dmg with added projectiles. 2-3x molten strike unique jewels that gives +2 projectiles. +3 projectiles from helmet enchant.
Gem setup - Molten strike - GMP/LMP - Multistrike - Faster attacks/point blank/Physical Projectile Attack Damage/Concentrated effect/Iron grip/Added fire/fire pen/ele focus/ele damage. (Many good gems, gotta experiment which is most effective)
This give molten strike potentially 15 (45 considering multistrike) projectiles each dealing 88% weapon damage. We purely focusing on the projectiles dmg.
We can also further utilize Ngamahu's Flame to trigger more projectiles and increase our dps.
Thoughts?

Elemental Blade Flurry is amongst the best boss killer for melee skills. Either pure elemental or phys conversion to elemental.

Looking back at the molten strike sum up, it seems pretty strong. You can get +45 projectiles per ability potentially doing 3960% weapon damage, now all projectiles probably wont hit, but most bosses have larger hit boxes, no? (Such as Kitava). You can stack so many 'more multipliers' on the projectiles it's absurd. On top of that we have a unqie weapon dedicated to molten strike.
Add ancestral protector for more attack speed and you'd be squirting balls all over the place.

Logic would have you looking at single target skills.. but reality is that you don't want to go there.

Not really, the average damage difference between a single target skill and an AoE is some ~10% (and it Blade Flurry's case, they made it outright more damaging than any single target skill), but the difference is that you can instantly support it with conc. effect, which is the single best damage support out there.
For damage, nothing really beats MS but you'll notice that it is clunky AF.
I suggest BF, unless you are making an exclusive bosskiller.

This thread is purely about boss dps, in this case the most effective izaro killer. I guess any of the above is more than enough for uber izaro and probably overkill. I'm currently using 2h which is a downside with BF, also you can always swap MS with sunder when mapping.

That's very common abbreviation, even newbs should know these)
Btw are there any real good single target skills in spell department? FB and firestorm seem to go down the tube after patch.

The best is Blade Flurry (for applicable weapons). It deals up to 343% base weapon's DPS (compare it to Heavy Strike's 200%)
Molten Strike is one of the best, if you build around it properly.
If you dont like EQ, use Sunder. It may have ~15% less DPS than Heavy Strike, but it's ranged, AoE and deals much higher damage against clustered enemies. The only situation where Heavy Strike is superior, is when you absolutely need single-target to NOT kill adjacent enemies (Vorici missions, Lietenants in lab, etc).
If you have space for 2-nd skill, better use Sunder + Ancestral Warchied. Sadly, this combo is far superior to using a dedicated single-target skill.

30k: Merciless resolve and its Stam morph on nightblade. They require 5 LA, so not sure if they qualify for this discussion.
20k: Dark flare for Magplar. On top of the damage, you empower, activate minor prophesy, and defile.
20k: Snipe. One morph causes minor fracture, so slight increase on following hits. The other adds defile and procs poison, so tiny DoT.
20k: Shalks on warden. Morphs proc major fracture or breech, so significant increase on following hits. It's technically delayed AoE, but the damage is direct.
20k: Bird on warden. Mag morph adds up to 15% based on distance.
15k: Frags on Magsorc. Optional splash morph for similar damage. Other morph can hit conditions that allow for +10% damage.
15k: Sweeps on Templar. Plus a very likely Burning Light proc of 6k. Also technically AoE, but as strong as a single target.
15k: Whip on MagDK. Optional morph that causes more damage on off-balance target.
15k (x2): Haunting curse on Magsorc. Delayed but activates twice, and causes splash damage.
8k (plus crit): Crit rush on 2h. Guaranteed crit and up to 40% additional damage based on distance.

It is a good choice for burst single target in raids as well, or when paired with Incarnation: Chosen of Elune. Nature's Balance scales the best with our stats at this point in the expansion. It makes use of Intellect, Mastery, Haste, etc. As this passive generates the most Astral Power on the row. Force of Nature is also the best Single Target choice, so even more of a reason to take it! I personally recommend Force of Nature, especially if your tank does not know what they are doing. The burst from Warrior of Elune is very rarely useful whenever pushing difficult keys. Surprising, given its popularity. But even Method’s fire mage, Scrype, sits lower on the meters than other range comrades. Given mages handy utility and fancypants buffs, they keep their place in raids for more than just their deeps. Consistent single target, lacking in multiple targets. Fire Mage Best Spec. Balance Druid PvE Talent Build. Below is our recommended talent build for maximizing damage output. Grim dawn weapon dmg or attack speed build. Many different combinations of talents can be effective, so while the below build is our recommendation-take the time to read each talent and decide for yourself.

Looking for good single target P. DPS for Imae Question I'm pretty comfortable with my M. Damage with a 6. Reve but right now my best P. Mac os high sierra dmg indir. Damage is McCarthy and his single target damage seems lacking. Stellar Flare is the best choice for Single target engagements because it gives the highest DPS boost, but it can be replaced by Twin Moons for AoE heavy fights. Twin Moons allows your Moonfire to spread on an additional target and it increases Moonfire's damage by 10%; it works best in AoE encounters.
