That's not very good math. if a healer is rezzing with out swift it costs both them and the dead person 3 gcds. Unless the rdm is in their melee combo or the healer has swift cast available within...

We had macros in 2.0 when we were much more reliant on procs, they just had lots of different finishers depending on how many tricks of the trade you got during the initial progress and quality...

Is standing at the entrance and never pulling an option?

After you wipe , if you reenter without logging out, you should be given an option to adjust the difficulty.

On a side note, I did this for the 5.1 instance intentionally. SO and I queued in at...

Let's be honest, you're not actually looking for discussion, you're looking for a sounding board and people to agree with you. I'd still like to hear what hardcore crafting looks like to you though....

I don't even know what you're trying to argue here. . . We were not talking comp rotation optimization, I'm pointing out the fact that given x rotation , rDPS is exactly the same regardless of buffs...

That's still some ridiculous disparity with the other jobs. say minimum 3 minutes for a fate gets you 1.5 leathers plus you still need to gather for the alumen.

in 3 minutes of botany i can have...

It really isnt incorrect when specifically regarding non-buffing jobs:

If an average auto-attack outside of buffs hits for say 1000, and you hit an exactly average aa under trick attack only it's...

Wut? Jobs without buffs are not "penalized" for having a buffing job in the party. Their rdps would remain flat regardless of party comp. For selfish jobs rdps is entirely based on their own personal...

A software company incapable of performing a hash check on their own files?

There is a huge difference between time gating and skill gating though. With better knowledge, advice, and practice people get better and can complete savage or ultimate (I acknowledge there is a...

A few things I noticed, not meant to discourage you but to help you improve as you've asked. This is on top of what Marc-Vigar already mentioned.
1) Stop broiling during trash pulls, use art of war...

You could wait until 5.1, they're planning an overhaul on crafter skills and specifically eliminating cross class skills form crafters. Should be easier after the update.

https://www.fflogs.com/zone/statistics/29/#class=Tanks&boss=68&dataset=30 And this is e4s, 3 war, 36 pld, 21 drk, 16 gnb at time of writing. A sample of 1 fight isn't very good snapshot of actual...

I didn't say that either. Maybe they are, maybe you are, I don't know I wasn't there. I do know blaming 13 ilvls is ridiculous.

I know this is an "old" post being from yesterday and all, but you are greatly exaggerating how under-geared the healer actually was. The max ilvl gear you can get prior to bardam is crafted 273...

Have done so in the past on what was a less than week old expert dungeon, it really doesn't make that much difference in most dungeons, you just cant pull as much.

Pretty sure what's happening based on your description is either you're occasionally not depressing the trigger fully when using a d-pad up or down skill or you have a dead spot on the trigger. This...

You're sure it wasn't a tier 3 fc buff? Those are 15%

has never been in xiv, not in 1.0 not in any of the arr expacs

If you're going to craft at those exact stats, and want to use Makers Mark, I would suggest something like this
...

You won't be able to play for another 12 hours anyways, servers aren't up until 3am pst

in a typical party, your melee/physical ranged and tanks account for like 70% of rdps so you're giving a 7% rdps buff to the party with 100% up time. If it doesn't stack with slashing,blunt/piercing...

Could always log in before work and start the patch process, no?

Oooh permanent trick attack! I think that may be a little(a lot) unbalanced.
