What's your Twintania DPS?

[Alistaire]

Isn't this a bad idea for a thread when screenshots of a guy getting a warning on his account for running a parser have been going around? Just sayin...

[Grotesque]

Comparisons are meaningless if different parsers with different settings are used, because they differ widely in the end result. (for example, two parsers, 240 DPS vs. 280 DPS on the same monk in the same fight, one was FFXIVAPP and a rather unknown so I forgot the name) Not really reliable for comparison reasons.

Personally, I stick to FFXIVAPP

Am I reading that image wrong or are you doing 320 dd as a tank? Also I think if there was a way to break it down per phase it would be better for people to know if they are lacking in a portion; I don't think we can though. Some phases fluctuate and 200 dps won't cut it in certain phases.

Yea I was reading it wrong. Yea your dps for the group is good to go. Both images seem to be pretty accurate to down her. Do you guys fill that you would have problems on a fast conflag or snakes if one of your dd wasn't there and someone else was in their place? Our group has around 260-280, but our mnk usually tops 300 sometimes higher. I think our dd is fine even if the mnk was doing 260-280, but I have been told otherwise.

Monks should do about 300+ dps a fight as it goes. About everything else seems right. Just need to make sure that your healers both contribute to dps on asciep as whm can go full cleric stance and your sch too as he can spot lustrate from cleric stance. That's the best way to ensure you get him down.

As long as people don't die in phase 4 you should be golden. I have less than 20 hours of experience being a scholar healer on twin and it's not too bad. The fight isn't hard but communication is ultimately the only thing that will keep you from winning.

I agree with You about the fight is not hard, but I disagree with You about communicacion, I mean, Healers should know what is their main "target" to heal, Tank or Party, but DPSs and Tanks (Each Tank should know what He is doing) dont need to communicate to much, I mean, my static group of Coil are in Team Speak during Raid, but We don't speak a lot, just trolling or joking, but We dont need to say anything about mechanics or notices during encounters, including Twintania.

Agreed with this. The only chat that you can read in our chatlog during the encounter is the macro timer for death sentence which is most of the time not that accurate due to queue times of Twintania skills, and the timer for dive bomb. Other than that, there's really no need for communication if and only IF everyone knows their role.

[Subucnimorning]

We communicate timers for dive bombs and death sentences/twister for Twintania. It is useful sometimes since tunnel visioning can happen, especially during Twisters.

Just curious what everyone is running, we're starting to get most of our group in ilvl 90 gear, and I don't know where I should be standing dps wise. Anyone have parses of their group they can post just for comparison?

Edit: If you could break it down by class that would be extremely helpfull

As I'm sure someone has mentioned. DPS is very hard to gauge due to random factors if your talking about across the whole fight. Your top dps 1 day could be 4th the next due to conflags/fireballs/dreadknights.


The best gauge (IMO) is to ask a simple question "does your group always beat the conflag timers" (aka no matter who is in do the other 3 dps kill it in time) this is not including flukes.. But if your consistently dieing to conflag whenever X player is in the conflag then he is likely carrying one of the other dps in terms of your overall numbers.

the snakes are another good indication. Do you kill them in time? If so your dps is solid.

Did not save screenshots, but did record: http://www.twitch.tv/roboratz/c/3743....rBAZN6YZ.dpuf

DPS results were:
BLM 304
BRD 290+ (don't recall the last digit)
SMN 220
DRG 190 (had a few melee fireballs/dreadknight)

You guys need to specify which app you are using because they differ by quite a bit sometimes. I know FFXIV is always much higher than ACT in my experience.
