Titan Extreme mode - no melee allowed. Thx SE.

Thank you .

I will translate for you:

Your BRD should be using foe requiem to boost your damage so that the gap between his and yours isn't so large.

No single DPS class is more affected than another besides MNK (which I don't disagree with).

I have never focused on max DPS. The screenshot I posted came with three figures: max DPS (meaningless), instantaneous DPS (0 because the fight was over), and overall damage. Which figure have I mentioned this entire post? Overall damage done. Which have you focused on?

Ifrit EM, I died twice in this kill yet still managed better DPS than you .

All of this has already been discussed. In fact, I'm pretty sure I provided an explanation on DPS to you. Ever play a mage in another MMO where you have 1 or no DoTs? DPS alone does not tell the entire story in this case.

Do you understand how DPS works? It's called damage per second. If a BLM is currently not casting anything on a boss fight and a DoT is not on the boss, they are not doing any DPS. This is common amongst casters in other MMOs which is why people often disregard DPS all together and, instead, focus on overall damage.

So not only did I do 13k more damage to you (again, something you've neglected), but I also didn't die twice. You claim to be a better BLM but the facts are right there for you: I do more overall damage, didn't die once during the same fight (where you died twice), and have all my cross class abilities.

All your DPS reading tells me is that you had thunder on the boss the entire time which, funny enough, probably resulted in your deaths. Do you understand how poor DPS is as a measurement for damage dealing casters with 1 DoT? Probably not.

Overall damage tells the bigger picture. As you can see, the SMN had lower DPS than I did but still did more overall damage than both myself and the MNK. Would you say SMN is worthless as well? No, because he did the most overall damage. His actual DPS is 339 with his pet. Not surprising because the pet attacks non-stop and SMN DoTs are on the boss constantly (as well as multiple nails on that phase).

1) You claim that BLM damage is poor on movement intensive fights like Titan and Ifrit yet provide evidence, along with mine, to contradict your own statement.

2) You claim to be a better BLM than myself yet do 13k less damage in the same fight because you died twice. You know how much a dead DPS does in terms of damage, right?

You could call this a checkmate of sorts: if you post a parse with you doing respectable DPS on Titan Ex, you will contradict every point you've made in this thread. If you post a parse with you doing poor DPS while I post a parse with high DPS, your position as the less skilled BLM will be set in stone. Wh

You opted to provide data about BLM on Titan out of pride, discrediting your claim that BLM is at the bottom of your chain with BRD as second to last.

You would not be in this mess if you had not made such a poor claim and then discredited said claim yourself.
