Good idea, thanks ! I am doing more training atm, I'll try to record another video and check it out to see where I am failing. I hope that someday I'll be able to reach the same kind of dps you guys are doing right now. That's my new goal ! :)

Oh, also! If you want to click through buttons for your opener in order, it might make more sense to have the first row run left-to-right and then the second row run right-to-left, so the mouse has less screen to cross between abilities when you get to that turn. I noticed you were a bit slow on Jump in the opener, likely due to this.

GCD > cross screen to hit longest animation-lock ogcd > GCD is a recipe for disaster. xD

Haha yeah I really have to work on my setup to avoid that.

Just curious tho. I've just managed to kill the A5S Dummy with 11 seconds left. From ACT, my dps is 1462 but from SSS I get : You have reached: 1582.01 DPS

Which one should I trust ?

You likely clicked the wrong dummy. If it was A4S/Seph EX, you would be much closer on ACT and the calculator - 1440-ish, rather than 1580-ish. O:

Well, I thought you were right and did A5S again, killed with 4 seconds left. Results :

SSS : You have reached: 1519.09 DPS
ACT : 1381

I don't really get it but the difference is huge. ^^ I'll reinstall ACT if that's necessary.

Is your instance time in ACT over 3 minutes (or whatever your kill time was)? That may be your issue is it is not an "instance" so it is adding extra time.

Duration is around 2:50 and 3:01. I will try to reinstall it and double-check just in case. :)

there are a number of online calculators based on the time left and the hp of the dummies

Hey !

Got late with my lore gear and didn't cap it for two weeks, so I only got the DRG pants. But since next week I'll have 600 tomestone, what piece should I pick ?
