o.O Bet someone is part of PF: Dont join if you can't do X amount of DPS.. --> exactly why Yoshi don't want the addons to be introduced..
Dark Sentinels - Ok, that explains it ;)
Pretty sure you been using a dummy to get these numbers..

This is fairly accurate, his drg number is underestimated but they can pull 460+ if played at their strongest. (T8)
As a blm my highest numbers so far:
T6 495
T7 (lolt7) 405
t8 490
t9 370
dps numbers will vary between the classes with how the pt operates how fast golems in t9 goes (my group actually finishes golem part 1 with 15-20 to spare, this lowers dps a bit) and how much support the individal recieves (example monks dragonkicking for one another, double sch blm pts, amount of bard support given etc.)
Source: I'm in a fairly good end game fc.
tldr: play what you want as all the dps are fairly balanced atm each brings their own strenght to the table, drg gives the bard a 10% boost smn is amazing at mechanics etc.
Mind providing your own numbers then? That was pretty accurate in my opinion, except that the Bard damage is off 10% if the party has a DRG, but if they don't, it seems very accurate to me. Still, the most accurate represantion of expected T8/T9 damages I've seen so far.
The only numbers that were off were bard and drg, about +30 on both is as high as I see them go.
Some parses don't tell the full story and are deceptive to post without context, for the BLM above that 495 t6 is definitely flaring slugs, when most groups who have that level of DPS just ignore slugs and burn boss. The t9 numbers posted are definitely from a culled parse, there is no reason to either cull or not cull parses it makes no difference other that numbers are different, in my opinion jumps are a part of the fight and there is no imperative to cull unless you like inflating numbers. If you don't cull parses numbers cap out in the low 300s with SMN edging out on the top due to how that fight favors DoT damage.
Other things such as that you will never see those t8 numbers on every job in the same parse, only whoever the bard's songs favor. All those numbers depend on songs and unless there are 2 bards there simply won't be enough MP to fuel all of them. I think t8 parses can be difficult to compare for this reason, people will cherry pick a parse that represents the most optimal conditions for that job and post it out of context confusing groups who don't know better.
I don't cull my parses. My group burns the boss in t6 we just dont lb the slugs and instead hit the boss with melee lb. He asked for high end parses, I gave them pretty simple, the t8 parse (theres a video of it actually) really isnt a cherry picked bard supported parse either (i have good a good bard.), pretty much the minimum i pull on is 460. Sorry that you don't believe the parses are proper.
I am not denying they aren't appropriate parses to the question I am just giving context in the absence of some. T8 is not possible without multiple foes, why do people get defensive when you simply point out how the bard assists these numbers? It's simply giving depth to how numbers are achieved rather than simply posting the number and letting people try and figure it out. To be honest I'd put possible BLM damage higher than 490 simply because of the damage ranges BLM gets, but I'd attribute all factors the same.
I simply don't believe that t9 is possible when every second of the enc is parsed and If you are not flaring slugs in t6 I would like to know how you hit those numbers then because there is certainly some aoe damage in those numbers.
