BLM Fire II incredibly lack luster

No, this is what you're not getting at. You're doing 106 DPS/mob, but doing 320 DPS towards the total 10,000 health. You don't divide 10,000 by 106. You're not doing 106 DPS towards the total health, only per mob. You're doing 320 DPS towards the total, collective, health that 3 mobs share.

I just realized this is where you are misunderstanding what eDPS is.

A pack of mobs do not share anything, period. 3 x 10k hp = 30k hp.

So if we use your example:

320 dps across the collective which is 30k hp = 30'000hp collectively / 320 dps = 93.75 seconds.

320dps / 3 mobs = 106.6dps per mob = 10'000hp per mob / 106.6dps = 93.8 seconds.

You will get it in the long run.

Let's see if I can phrase this in a way you will grasp it:


For a single mob it takes 93.8 seconds. For the whole group of three, it takes 93.8 seconds.

If you do 307 DPS for SINGLE TARGET damage, it takes 32.57 seconds for a SINGLE mob, or 97.72 seconds for a GROUP of 3.

Which is faster? The first. You are literally comparing the ST DPS capacity of an AoE skill to the ST DPS capacity of a ST rotation. You don't do that. On 3 targets, if you do 320 DPS, you're doing more DPS than if you did 307. Period. It doesn't matter if you do it to one target, or that 320 is split among multiple targets, you're still doing more DPS.





I am literally being trolled and I literally let it happen.

I thought, since this forum wasn't completely anonymous, that people wouldn't be so obvious about it.

Boy, was I naive..

You are doing more DPS because you are hitting more mobs....../facepalm

Do your math again with 10 mobs in it @ 106.6dps per mob.
