As for DarkerOrange's using the stats posted on lodestone we get 165.5 seconds to kill the A12S dummy, add some delays due to ping and 12 seconds is quite reasonable.

I am confused. Which set is now BiS? Can somebody post it please?

Have yet to find any set with a higher DPS.

I have a question about Shadewalker. I just want to know how it works and when is the optimal time to use it. I noticed that if I use it pre-pull, all the aggro will go to me so now I only reserve it for the times when I'm #2 on the enmity list... or should I just use it even when I'm not #2?

And let's say there are 3 mobs and I'm focusing on just 1 while the other 2 are not on my enemy list; it only affects the mob that I'm attacking, right?

Just wanted to reconfirm some things because it is scary when I use Shadewalker and see the aggro symbol for ALL of the mobs become red.

At Raids you use it right before the Pull on the MT.
You can also use it later in the Fight again on the MT, so that he can fight without Tank-Stance most of the time.

In normal Dungeons I always use it at the boss und all Minibosses before.

On trash it's not really necessary


Your Number on the enmity list is not important for Shadewalker.
For the time it is up, it will give the Tank 80% of your Hate, which you'll do on the target during the uptime.

There really aren't a ton of guides outside of Shasta's. I would say the biggest thing I don't see talked about is aligning CDs or use as they come up. I know CD alignment is very fight specific, but it'd be nice to know if delaying IR 10sec to align with TA is worth it or not.

Side Question: I see that you send 3 people in for Timegate adds during A12S. We tried that with mixed success this past week. I need to look more into it, but what factors into their enrage? Does engagement time matter at all or is it just a specific timer from spawn or if a death occurs?

There's this: http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/X5KI

But i still prefer the 1366 crit one.

I'm ilvl254 now and beat the dummy np now with 1245 crit, usually 4-5s left.

I also tried DRG and beat it, with 6-7s left at ilvl251.

But on Monk i'm i250 and can't beat it by 150 DPS lol.

Keyword being DPS and not stat weight, the set I posted has the highest DPS and the other set has 486 SS, next threshold is at 492. So it has 19 "worthless" SS as compared to the 10 of the set I posted.

It still has 83 more det, it's not crit but det isn't rng like crit, if we calculate the the difference in DEX between the differences of SkS, DET and Crit, the 1366 crit is only better by 4-5DEX.

But it also has less 6 DEX from gear totals.

I'm still not talking about weights, weights are limited, it's the simulated average DPS where the difference is.
