Some surprising data in regards to SMN dps vs BLM dps

[savant07]

Look at your average DoT damage for Bio and Bio II within the parser and you'll see that your conclusions are total nonsense.

I think if you are testing solo against dummy without anyone else attacking the dummy, it is pretty accurate.

No it isn't. It's not even close.

Please do not use FFXIV-app for anything DoT related.
If you want a real parse, take LogRep.

This is a near perfect kill on turn 2 (with magical resist buff) : http://snag.gy/gVfJU.jpg (only look at Total Damage. DPS value is incorrect)
BLM is ahead by 4k dmg despise loosing dps due to being forced to move with Allagan Rot

No even that program is seriously off on dot damage. Neither dps parser is remotely close to accurately simulating dot damage.

Parsers are not 100% accurate, but against single mobs in a straight DPS test, with no party interference, they do work. The issue with their innaccuracy comes from its use within a party with 2 or more of the same class

Inaccurate even solo.

I see people saying this repeatedly, but what evidence do you have? Are parsers 100% correct? Perhaps not. But to simply say that it's impossible for SMN to out dps BLM because BLM sometimes crits huge and it's hard to believe they're second to SMN dps is hard to believe. I'm disappointed by this fact but facts are facts. If parsers are inaccurate for SMN dps, who's to say it's not inaccurate for BLM? When dots tick for 290+ damage as I watch them in game, it's not hard to believe that spamming ruin, and my pet dps would make it far superior to BLM even with a weapon 30 ilvls lower.

So you see dot ticks for 290 that's fine. Now divide that by 3 seconds and that's 97dps. Now add your pet with 55dps. We're at 145dps. Now add your non dots. This isn't anywhere near 321dps.

The ffxivapp parser's problem is mainly with Bio II. Every time you hit Fester it increases Bio II's damage. Testing on a dummy atm and my Bio II damage is at 1,056%. I'm hitting for 39 damage a tick and the parser says i'm hitting for 412 damage a tick. This happens every time you hit Fester after front loading all your dots for max fester damage. You then follow up with a Bio II and watch for the inflated BIO II dot ticks according to the parser. This lasts the 30 second duration of the dot time. Given that we can hit Fester 3 times every 60 seconds this pretty much ensures your Bio II dot tick damage according to the parser will be highly inflated.

Now i'm only level 37 atm. So it may not be quite as bad at 50. Until i get to 50 and verify i can't say for sure if it behaves exactly the same at 50. But as it's just basic math i'd say they programed that dot incorrectly and that it will perform close to the same at 50. I'd suggest someone else test this out who is 50 to verify my results.

If the above does perform the same or even half as badly this is still a huge amount that this parser is off by.

I can confirm that this is indeed the same thing that happens at 50.
