Bard DPS on a Training Dummy 3 Min

Hi my fellow Bard Players.
I would like to see how much you guys can Parse in 3 min on a dummy.

My Gear Score is 181 with Ravana Bow.
I reach arround 900 dps just by myself.

With Dragoon Debuff arround 960.
Proof. http://puu.sh/iVRGl/81d1c3a9c1.jpg

Note this isnt for actuall Fights etc. Just my personal interested. ^^

Pretty sure BRD should be around what MCH is. Here's a 3:30 parse of me on MCH with a DRG with 2 mistakes on my second WF not that that makes much of a difference. Just note that BRD should be around this and that there are better parses. I'm just using mine for reference. http://i.imgur.com/aRqzEMH.png

Here's chocobo, food, pot, when I was trying out WM after adjustments.
Can go a bit higher, but haven't saved any since.

I have not found this to be true. I'm a career bard and I'm consistently dummy parsing 50-60 dps higher on mch than I am on bard under the same conditions, 980-1000 on bard vs 1020-1060 on mch, using food, pots, and party buff. I cannot translate this to alex as of yet where I parse quite a bit higher on bard than I do on mch. My average dps per turn is 119 higher on bard than it is on mch, though this is going off of the best parse on each turn for each class and I have a much larger sample size for bard and bard massively outperforms mch on a2, so its not necessarily a great comparison. The dummy parse comment still stands though.

Got some more dummy bashing done.

These are solo without party buff, with Black Truffles/Apkallu and X-pot.

Had mess ups on both, so I actually had to re-apply dots as you can see in outgoing damage.
But loosing them is not fatal as long as you can react fast.
Just pointing out that these are not some perfect parses without fuck ups and what not.

What rotations are you guys doing for bard?

You should put 5 dummy.

turn on your Wanderer's Minuet > Raging Strikes + Hawk's Eye + Straight Shot + Flaming Arrow > spam Wide Volley like a mad man.
You will see the insane number.

Hmmm. I wonder what you're doing differently as I know you to be a very capable bard. I've done as much as 1032 with no party, food, or pots on my BRD dummy tests. Average is around 1000. Don't have MCH leveled for comparison.

I'm keen to know how you are running your dummy parses to get 1000 average and 1032 peak. (and been sometime I've seen you here :p )

My no party/food/pot/drg runs are timed at 3:20 and they are 980-1000 range

Message me on Reddit if you'd like. I remember what happened last time we posted those sorts of pictures here.

That's true. Time to make a reddit account lel.

@OP

What are you using to have the DPS show neatly like that?

Did some reviews of how I was dealing with oGCD priorities and managed to break the 1K mark.

3:22 dummy no party/food/pot/drg @ 1013.23

@Alywell - He's using the RainbowMage overlay, it's quite nice!

@ Bards - What is the general rotation here? I have a bard in my static that isn't pulling these kinds of a numbers and we need to get our DPS up. He ended up just dropping WM after the first phase of Bis Ex and not putting it back on. But a quick rundown of a rotation that can yield 900+ would be helpful, thanks!
