I'm upset right now. I asked a friend to parse me in the Diadem, and after I did my full rotation which may I add I practiced for two weeks straight non stop, I find out my dps is 800. Wtf? What am I doing wrong?? I do my rotation my friends do and my dps is so low. Im afraid if I dont raise it i won be able to participate in raids or any new content in the future without being kicked. My ilvl is 193 and I always do 1k damage as I hit a mob.. I see the numbers pop up as I hit an enemy. Its either 900+ or over 1k with wasp.. My DPS however sucks and I dont know what to do
800 DPS as 60 NIN

Stopped reading at the Diadem.
It's a stupid place to parse with tons of anti melee mechanics. Try an EX primal or even normal alexander(as easy as it is, but still) or something. -

Do you lock on targets? Losing out of auto attacks can add up alot of dmg

11-22-2015, 12:32 AMAshelia_Ferron
Yeah the diadem is a bad place to parse.
Especially on larger monsters that everyone goes after. With the DOT limit on mobs, your dots may have no effect and so that's a straight DPS loss there -

You should report your friend for using a parser. It is against TOS and he must be banned.

Huh? The person is seeking to improve and yet you guys want to remove something that measures it? Why wou-
No. Never mnid. Those discussions never end well. -

you should tell us your full rotation.

11-22-2015, 12:43 AMPhireblastAt that point, it's just food and pots. As long as you're around that range you're pretty much fine.Quote:

Plus, I won't be able to see relevant buffs such as foe's if I were a caster or Ninja. Limitations gonna limitate.Quote:

When we want to damage test in a "real" environment, my static goes and punches Faust for awhile.
It's the next best thing to a striking dummy. xD -
11-22-2015, 02:15 AMFoxyArekuYou may as well just attack a striking dummy tbh, haha.Quote:

I hate what parsers have ruined other mmorpg communites, but I do see how they can help players improve their rotation. Maybe SE should add a self parser and we can compare it with whatever SE think is the right amount of dps that our class should be dealing with ilevel Y and X?

If your buddy is running a parser in Diadem, then His parser is probably running for more than 25+ mins as the parse is probably always counting itself "in combat" as long as you or one of your party members engages a mob or pulls something. Actual fights don't usually last more than 15mins at max iirc. So its possible eventually your DPS will just get lower and lower on the parser as the time gets longer and longer on the parser.
Throw in Downtime from transitioning mob to mob or TP Issues
Doing a 7min parse on a dummy is probably more accurate. -

I don't want to install third-hand parsers, but I want to improve my DPS (though I'm not one for min-maxing, just enough so that I wont drag the rest of the party down), and as I recently played FFXIII I had a thought: What if we get something akin to those star screens after the instances? And after "killing" a dummy?
Basically, it would rate DPS on their damage (with something like if every DPS gets 3 stars, the party passes the DPS check without Healer/Tank DPS. If every DPS gets 2, it can be passed with DPS from Tank and Healer, 1 star is a no-pass while 4 stars is a definite pass, and 5 stars is "we could speedrun this thing! :D"), ability to avoid damage and to deal with mechanics (like the bomb and jelly-blob thing in Copperbell; killing the bomb gives no increased rating and gets minus on the mechanics rating).
Tanks would have hate generation instead of DPS (and it would rate both on the situation, that is, the actual aggro the party is generating versus the tanks, as well as against the optimal situation when DPS and Healers get 5-starred) and avoidable damage.
And Healers would be rated on Health being above half, negative statuses being Esuna'd and so on, and avoidable damage as well as mechanics.
The thing is, it would only show your own score so no one can use it to grief, but if you consistently get above three stars, you know that if you fail, you're not the problem. -

11-22-2015, 11:52 AMZephreyHonestly, I like this idea. I don't see why this couldn't be a thing. Yeah, I guess it could be discouraging for some if they bring up their DPS and someone says they are like 2 or 3 times as much and they just don't know how to fix it but I don't know... I feel since this game has so many DPS checks, it'd be nice for everyone to know how they're doing so they can know if they should improve a rotation, or study the job more. There are some people who don't read forums, some people who don't fully understand the jobs. If someone could actively see their numbers instead of someone just saying they sucked, I think it'd be a different experience as a whole.Quote:

People care way too much about numbers. Gear up, have fun doing it! Stop focusing on math :P
-
11-23-2015, 08:47 AMJim_BerryMy dps suck, and I don't care. Want to know why I don't care? Because far too many people parsed me at different numbers even if I'm fighting the same enemy and using my same moves. On Faust, one group clocked me doing 1100. Another group clocked me at 800. Another group had me at 900. I'm an iLv202 NIN. I was parsed at having as high as 1400 on Faust.Quote:
