Also, can you relink your Non-Crafted BiS recommendation again? thanks.

And I'm wearing them because that's all the gear I have currently. Each time we're about to finally raid with my static, someone drops out. Fucking moogle, hate the people on this server. So unreliable, so I have no dreadwyrm/carbontwines :(

When I'm progressing, I always purchase or obtain gear which gives me the highest weighting, regardless if it's BiS or not. I usually end up with every single POE piece because of this.

Glad I'm not the only one who does this.

damn

my nin alt at 119 is outdpsing my 126 drg main (620~ vs 600~ on benchmark parses)

hope a spear/choker drops this week

And that's exactly my point. I've tried a bunch of "simulations" on solver with Augmented Ironworks with/without possible drops and upgrade from carbon. And the results were always the same: every set came up with Ironworks Spear being on top of Longinus.
With the drops 130 I got lately things got pretty messed up at the point where to balance other stats and accuracy would require wearing Second Coil hands instead of Ironworks 120 or/and not-upgraded poetics earring instead of Wyrm. Since I already got legs and feet upgraded and in a couple days I'll get another one, I'm going to use it on the Magitek Spear. Thanks to you and Dervy for the suggestions.

you should transfer to gilgamesh

What should I be parsing in final coil, at i119 with the Longinus? I'm fairly new to raiding and use a rotation that's different from the one in the OP, so am sure I have plenty of room for improvement.

So far I've been 460-480 on t10, 515 on t11 before adds. Sadly I'm on ps4 so can't parse (someone in my static does though thankfully), so not sure what my full t11 parse is but I'm sure it's lower (we have a lone BLM on the cube, so sphere killers need to slow dps a good amount near end of add phase). My group is still learning t12.

I'd like to know the type of numbers I should be aiming for as I experiment with a more traditional rotation.

Three BiS drops in T10 and T11 today. Holy balls am I grinning xD

I hate you :D

I got a chest this week and nothing else boys rip

It's useless

duplicate gloves

i think what's slightly horrifying is i've never seen a single piece of ninja leftside armor for 10-12 weeks
