BLM, Extreme Primals, and Surecast "buff" request

[Kenji1134]

Actually I can see someone doing 550 dps on titan as blm, you just fire2 and flare every time a bunch of bombs are up. Especially the 3/4 bombs.

I dont remember my exact numbers, but when I did rotational potency modeling before 2.1, I had a max-ish ST rotation of about 110 pot/sec. And with my damage testing, I have a potency value, in a group with HQ Buttons of 2.6... So that is 286 dps...
Well, last time I parsed on a dummy without a group or food, I was at a bit over 270, so it seems about right. This is with an I90 weapon and I84 overall gear level.

So maybe with all I90, and magically having 100% uptime, a BLM can do 300 dps on Titan, at most... So 550 is completely possible if you just throw aoes every time you see a set of bombs.

so yes, by AoEing all of the inconsequential bombs that you should be dodging anyways, you can hit 500 dps. Am I reading this right?

In theory.

I still think the guy is trolling with some screenshot he got from the first 3 minutes of Wanderer's Palace.

In reality, you would never spend your time flaring bombs during Ex Titan. In reality, you would never have 48% of party DPS in an 8 man encounter. In reality, you would never complete Ex Titan having done only 22k damage. In reality, people just post nonsense to get attention.

Cool story bro. My dps on trash is usually between 1200 - 1600. I got up to 1600dps on Binding coil turn 4 with raging strikes and a lot of luck. I wish I had a screenshot, but alas, I run FFXIV App on my 2nd monitor, and screenshots only snap the FFXIV game, not the other monitor. The first pic I uploaded was taken with my phone. Next week I will try to grab better screenshots.

Select desired application, alt+PrtScn. Takes a snapshot of only the selected window.

If you don't understand the difference between consistent dps across a fight, and the big numbers your parser throws up when you've done an AoE, then you don't really understand dps.

You did not achieve 1600dps throughout T4 - you managed to do 1600 damage in a second in Turn 4. DPS is a constant figure, not something you measure in an instant. What you're doing is like claiming BLM can do 4k dps because a crit Flare on the big snake in T5 hits for that much.

Perhaps you'd feel a bit less arrogant if you compared actual dps, like everyone else does.

Just wanted to say I am running on 2 screens and the Print Screen button actually works 2 ways.

First it will screenshot based on your game screen, and the screenshot file is found on your game's screenshot folder.
The 2nd one is kinda captain obvious. Open up your MS paint and ctrl+v and you should see both of your screen there. Assuming you are running on 1080p monitors (which I do), your screenshot size in MS Paint should be 3840x1080.
