Tanks however.. May need a bit more than 353 accuracy lol

Oh yeah, I think I meant just Levi. Been so long since I learned what requires what, haha.

Only Levi, and Moogle I believe.

So guys what are some good dps numbers for T6 - T8 for a DRG sitting at i96 with i95 weapon? (Allagan spear) I haven't been able to come across an i100 weapon yet.

Just looking for a good set of numbers to strive for while I try to gear up.

Roughly around 250-ish :)...When you get i110 weapon, you should be expected to deal roughly 290-ish Dps :p..It was my average DPS when I was ilv 94 with no ilv110 weapon and my DPs after I got the weapon was around 300 DPS and my ilv was 98

What about i98 average level and i100 weapon in T8? Around 300 or more?

290-ish, unless with X-potion of strength, then, you can push to 300, but not over 310. My DPS at the stage in t8 was 296DPS. Oh I forget, I use Button in a Blanket HQ as food, X-Potion of Strength for burst, and my acc is 520.

And here I thought I was doing bad sitting around 260 -270 in T6/T7. x.x; Weapon must be holding me back more than I thought. Gotta work on my animus faster I guess.

You are doing good if you are sitting around 260-270 in T6-T7. Yeah weapon contributes a large portion in increasing our DPS. So unless, your group can consistently clear t7-t8, you should work on your Animus, then again, you don't really need that much DPs for t6-t7. A levi or allagant one will do just fine. I never had my animus when I cleared t6-t7 ...

350 atleast.

t6/t7 has excuses for loss of dps due to vines, devours, and voice/shrieks. T8 rarely has anything. Unless you're doing a lot of mechanics, you should hit about what you hit at a dummy.

Your damage for t6/t7 also depends on mechanics. If you get nothing and still hit 250, then you're losing dps somewhere.

Lol, then I'm really at a loss. I'm standing at 300-310, doing everything I can think of and just in charge of driving away the homing missiles - which should be DPS heaven, but for some reason I just can't seem to squeeze more damage than that. 99% correct rotation (sometimes I mess up because of chaos in the fight and get distracted), popping cooldowns as soon as they're available, constant uptime (don't know why the parser says 92% though?), Selene (I happen to finish my TP along the way, sometime). The only thing I don't use are the potions, but potions if I remember correctly have a high cooldown anyway, so they can't possibly impact my DPS by 40-50 points. Aside from the TP bar reaching < 30% constantly and no TP song to be had, I have no clue about what I should do. The only thing that comes to mind is that the parser might have registered some of the moments when we didn't fight, but I wouldn't bet on that. We didn't clear it, we just trained it two times this week, yet I'm not really sure what I am missing as a DPS - this should theoretically be my time to shine, if I understood correctly.
