The Monk Temple Reborn

[treuhavik]

At your gear level with i115 weapon I was doing 490-500 depending on crit RNG over a ~4:20 parse (two invigorates until right when I run dry).

Interesting... I've been cutting all my parses to about 3:30. Could that have something to do with it? Realistically, I should be parsing it longer since I'll be using it on high up-time fights. I'll try for Diamond Claws this afternoon and see if I can match your numbers. Were you using part buff, food or pots in those encounters?

Crit RNG has a big impact on a dummy parse overall, but it has a really big impact on a short monk parse. I've had parses where I didn't reach my maximum DPS until around 2:30 seconds into the parse. The longer you can parse without running out of TP the more you should see a DPS trend since you have a greater number of attacks that are being averaged.

Even with 4:20-4:30 minute parses I see crit percentages vary wildly (in the 10-12% variations on the high end which is a LOT for that length of time and many parses I run throughout a week ). Crit is a bit more RNG in this game than most since a lot of MMOs adopt systems where procs and percentages are normalized to give a more stable rate. This game doesn't seem to do that from a personal observation. Anyway more attacks in the averaged pool will give you a more accurate reading on where you're likely to fall in an actual raid fight.

That was my train of thought; the longer the parse the more accurate the read. But that only leads me further to believe that it's less my gear and more my execution, which is troubling lol.

You're more than welcome to make a character over on my server and take a look at what I do if you are interested.
