tanks do wayy too much damage for their tankiness

Troll thread, nothing to see here. Moving on.

I think you're the troll. The OP is clearly still learning, and wants to get better.

And OP, your obelisk is currently your best piece (poor melding aside). Dont be blaming that for your low dps. You need to get out of your AF gear ASAP. Get some Darklight and CT gear. Your accessories are okay for now as well. Get some ilvl 70 armor, it will make a huge difference.

Don't waste your philosophy tomes on accessory pieces. What you have now (besided bracelet) is better than DL, and will be even better if you ever decide to meld what you have.

I searched your character name here:

You can do accessories like my gear if you're rich or have a lot of time to SB gear. Or just wait for i90 accessories to drop or buy with meth to replace them.

-buy with meth to replace them.-

Sounds like a solid plan.

OP, please listen to me. Don't mind these people telling you to upgrade your accessories, they obviously haven't seen your gear on the Lodestone. Get out of all 5 pieces of AF before worrying about any other equipment.

They'd need to repair their gear before even attempting to get Darklight.

Step 1: Repair your gear
Step 2: Duty roulette High Level
Step 3: ?????
Step 4: Darklight!

Average 200 on Titan Ex, which is higher than a hell lot of the DPS I've seen in there.

That doesn't mean you have high damage. It means you play with a lot of players who still have a lot more to learn about their class than you do. If skilled they would trounce you. I'm not talking about individual differences between players here. I'm talking about the job when performed well has no chance of doing the same damage as a dps who performs the job well. You aren't on an even playing field. You're personal skill being more than another players will naturally happen, and of course sometimes that might mean a tank can out damage a dps. That doesn't make it the rule, or even remotely the ideal situation.

Dragoon AF is not great equipment.

Your accessories could benefit from a few proper melds, but most of all your weapon is considerably weak.

I would suggest looking here for developing and understanding your rotation: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...otation-Reborn

Gather some dungeon gear and build your Relic - you'll see your damage output rise.
