DPS Numbers

I see posts where players state what their DPS is or perhaps should be at certain lvls. What software are you using to see this information?

Third party parsers

I have a friend of mine (named Alberto Carlos Trenntani) sit next to me with a stop watch and do nothing but write down damage numbers as they appear in the combat log and then do the calculations by pen and paper later on ...

Other people have friends with more complicated names (like Franz Ferdinand Xavier Irvin Vincent-Alexander Paul Peter) do the same ... I don't like overly complicated names though ;-)

What is ACT?

here is not thr right place to speak about them since using 'em might be bannable

I was in a party last night where the DRG claimed to be using ACT, and he told me I was doing over 1000 dps against trash packs. I'm thinking ACT doesn't work very well because there's no way!

Umm, if you were holy spamming in cleric stance, it could very well have been possible.

WHM and BLM can easily hit those numbers with AoEs. Flare and Holy are the strongest AoEs in this game

I've been checked in at 400 static which isn't /bad/ for a BLM but I want to aim for 425

Off topic but, where did you create your signature?
