You're saying you're pulling up to 200 more on Susanoo Ex than you do doing your rotation perfectly on a dummy? :thinking:

Exactly my thoughts x'D
Even had to go and check their background.

Well there's team bonuses and probably the balance, yet with the pause between each phase I don't think so.
Add to this that the 4100 dummy can be influenced by a lot of luck depending of which skills crits & stuff.

You don't use a single run as a basis.

and why do you use mirage dive instantly after jump/ssd? you could easily just wait to use 1 more GCD and use mirage dive after that without creating any clipping...

They buffed all our weapon skills significantly to make up for loss of Leg Sweep and Phlebotomize. Seriously, Full Thrust went from 360 to 440. That's huge.

True enough, but in most cases team bonuses such as Balance and synergy debuffs don't make up for all the DPS you lose to mechanical execution.
Susanoo in particular have churning, levinbolts, levinbolts+stun, sea splitter and if you get stuck on one of those rocks it's very likely to cause you to drop eye stacks depending on how much time you have left on botd/how long it takes for people to break you free. Unless you are being balance fed, then that's another story entirely.

He most likely meant before the phase transition.

Obviously trolling.

Then that's not any way to accurately say you parsed X in any fight.
End result or go home.

4100 before sword phase is what you do with i305 and 310 wpn.

That 6k opener says everything I need to know. Coupled with the fact that they had max tier 6 materia which makes a huge difference in substats (of about 250) means that not only are they at the absolute max gear they could be while I'm pretty sure 90% of people aren't doing so and yet still having 300-500 dps difference kinda goes to show that DRG still is worse off.

Kudos to them at least, they kinda proved me wrong .
