Post Your Training Dummy DPS

[Sleigh]

You need guidelines if you want any sensible answers.

I could right now go do a quadruple Flare with full buffs on, in a party, with the best food, against 3 training dummies, and I have no doubt my DPS would be far above 500 if not closer to 1,000. There's not much difference between that and two equally geared players stopping at different points, under different circumstances.

..Use common sense? Do a ST rotation that doesn't end right after a CD is up?

PS3... I hit for stuff.

Also dps meters are bad. I have had multiple people in my group using the same meter and the same setup and they get results that are not even close to the same.

It's a known issue where meters are generally accurate(barring SMN) for yourself, but not for others.

Dummies don't fight back.

The only DPS I care about is live content in which I move around, dodge aoe, occasionally have to move away to avoid eating floor and doing nothing.

As a close range DD with flank/rear mechanics your dummy "perfect situation" dps sais nothing to me.

This post is bad and you should feel bad.

Seems like a bit of a rude response to an offer I gave to get a better topic going instead of no one posting their results, as happened.

The original question is "What's everyone's highest dps reached with the training dummy?" It doesn't say do a ST rotation, and when to decide your CDs are past enough to not inflate your numbers. Sadly, there's not one common sense parser test everyone follows or should follow; in practice a 10-20 second parser result (trash), or a 1-2 minute parser result (AK/WP boss), a 5 minute parser test, or a 13 minute parser result (Twintania), will be far different in numbers and favor certain classes more than others. As I said, without guidelines you can't get a proper basis and makes the topic question too broad regardless of a universal basis you believe the question entailed, written somewhere in stone. No one's results would count for anything unless they themselves chose to copy another person's exact guidelines.

Things that could vary from person to person:
AoE/ST
Party buffs
Food
Potion use
End time
Total duration
RNG with procs and crits and repeats (BLM could re-do the parser over and over until something quite a bit higher than normal appears and would fit with "What's everyone's highest dps reached with the training dummy?")

I don't know if you've participated in other MMOs where people do this, but the general rule is do a ST rotation that ends when a CD is up, or your resource is up.

And then you use common sense.

If you apply other variables, you state what they were.

Since the topic said "highest DPS on dummy," you can conclude that he wanted highest ST DPS. So, use buffs, pots, food, etc.

Here, I'll start(even though parsing is broken for SMN):

2 minutes 13 seconds. Out of party, no food. Stopped when I ran out of MP(not as much of an issue in party).
I used a Hi-Int potion(+26 INT) for the initial RS/Contagion combo.
I still used Shadow Flare, even though it doesn't register on the parser at all.
