Baseline DPS per Class - Volunteers Needed *** All Classes - except DOH, DOL

[Sleigh]

Your restrictions are far too loose, even if people had posted their results. Someone could have ended their parse very short by going out of TP but ending with every cooldown recently used, or at the highlight of their DPS before some down-time or a phase where they're not at their optimal.

I'm not sure for what purpose you want these parser numbers, but you should give a more rigid guideline towards your goal so every person testing can go by the same standard. If you just want to know burst for a 1 - 2 minute WP/AK boss fight, go for a 90 second timer. If you want to know who's best at killing trash, do a 15 second timer (which even then would be very inaccurate since non-GCDs are rarely in use on trash - for instance, you could have a SMN use Fester + Energy Drain + Energy Drain to go wild over 10s, but that's not what would happen in most situations against trash because of Bane and wanting to save for Fester or Shadow Flare, and is a poor baseline for comparison). If you want a sustained 4 minute parser result, TP and MP are issues and shouldn't be thrown aside if you go OoM.

If you want actual potency numbers, I have them for DoW classes.

DRG (panda rotation)  avg potency: 144912.10862 PPS: 201.2668175277778
BRD (no DE)           avg potency: 147679.25512 PPS: 205.11007655555554
MNK (no filler)       avg potency: 155706.09278 PPS: 216.25846219444446

Note that BRD should do true dps lower than DRGs, as they have a weapon damage penalty.

Note also this is with infinite TP, and TP order goes roughly Monk, Bard, DRG for sustainability.

AoE is not calculated.

Not able to see the twitch links, but you should name your character Winston if you haven't already.

Paladin: 383STR/225DPS - Sword Oath/DPS Accessories | 342STR/135DPS - Shield Oath/Tank Accessories

Warrior: 414STR/252DPS - No Defiance/DPS Accessories | 373STR/170DPS - Defiance/Tank Accessories


Main difference being that Warriors DPS combo is hard to maintain against top-tier DD's without breaks/lulls in combat and that Paladin can tank a lot of current content in their DPS setup (or a slightly modified version).

What's the panda rotation? I must know!

Even I can't remember what it was.

I think its something like

H IDC P TTT H TTT
P IDC H TTT P TTT

After every IDC P or P IDC, if you had BfB up for it, you should insert a FR before the next combo in order to make sure your DoTs don't clip.

PS this rotation was totally stolen from easy and I don't play dragoon, but it sims well and we unanimously decided that it should be called the panda rotation.

You insert FR is the previous appplication had a buff (BfB or IR), so your second application doesn't clip.
