DPS check for turn 8?

We solo tank or with a Warrior and he does about 200 dps as well.

This right here! I don't know why people keep saying tanks should be doing 100-130...that's ridiculous and way too low. As a tank if your not pulling at least 150-180 you're doing something wrong.

Show me plz how you deal 180dps as a pld with ~ilvl 95-100 maybe (when you arrive @ t8, which is the objective ob this thread)
I am maintank PLD in our raid and i'm spamming my normal 3hit rota, circle of scorns, silence and dmg buff always on cd and i'm only out of tp for ~ 10sec and i make around 135-145dps (if the numbers are correct). Even if i would use 2xstrengh potion + poision potions there is no way to reach 160-180 (mabye with ilvl 110 or 115 weapons, which normaly isn't there when you arrive @ t8).

In my opinion the biggest problem here is, that every1 counts the dps different with their tools, because there is no official ingame tool to count dps. I'm not even sure, if my numbers are correct, because i was only told that it is like that.
So maybe stop beeing too optimistic and calculate a toleranz error of ~20dps in different parser settings and ofc stick to the given setting (new in t8)

I play warrior so I can't speak to paladin, however... One thing that may be affecting many (i know it was an issue with me) is your computer quality. This might sound crazy but hear me out. I used to play the game on a low-end gaming laptop that had no problems running the game. I just recently purchased a mid-range gaming pc and my dps instantly increased bout 20 points. I thought it may have been a fluke but when I switch back to old machine using the same gear i lose about 20 dps.

It could have something to do with the way the computer reads the data...however it seems more likely that even though your hitting the abilities as fast as you can, there may be a split second delay on lower end machines. Typically it won't make much difference but over a 10 minute fight it adds up.

It could also be all in my head...but just my 2 gil. Try doing the same dps on a high end gaming machine and i imagine your dps might go up a bit.
