600 is hard solo with near-perfect mudras like i have. I don't think you'll be able to get it, unfortunately.

You mean solo as in dummy? I easily hold about 620 now that I have my DW daggers. 600 was pretty easy to maintain with the 130s. Of course, my dummy parse is way different than fcob since the instances have enough lag to drop me 20-40+ dps.

Last week (pre daggers) I was holding ~560 dps on T10 until I got a charge, that + LB3 = 530 dps for the fight. Not so bad - I think I lose slightly too much dps during the add phase though. I think 600 is pretty doable as long as you don't get a charge. If you do, I'm pretty sure 600 is impossible to maintain no matter what you do.

ehhh, 620 is RNG, but yeah, pretty much.

585, with a few minor mistakes + mechanics

It's a shame, I really like NIN, but with the lag with the mudras system and me having slight latency anyways, it saddens me that it just does not feel smooth enough of a rotation for me. The base rotation is fine, but throw in the Ninjutsu and then it starts to feel... off.

Yea same. I dont have a prob getting over 600 on a dummy. got 609 omitting raiton completely for fuma, and 624 and 27 using raiton. Those were with old rotation i used b4 i started doing the one i 584'd t11 with. Get in that final coil instance though and the mudra struggle becomes real lol

I was wondering if the dps i'm doing is good or not actually.
For reference, this is my setup (no IW gear for now since is not my main class, just some drop from final): http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...acter/1636794/

I'm able to push about 470dps (4 minute parse) on dummy and 450 in instances that don't make me mad. Sometimes is also from a bit to a lot lower due to some heavy spike lag for the shitty italian connections.
Like i said, i play ninja only outside coil since i'm healer in my group so i can just look at how i'm doing during extremes or old coils for now.

Is that good or low for my setup? In my group and fc no one play ninja, so i cannot make comparisons.

Seems about right for that gear level, possibly very slightly on the low side but you didn't say if you were using foods, pots, and party buff. What opener are you using, what's your ninjutsu rotation, and what debuffs do you prioritize first? Those are pretty good ways to tell if you're doing it right.

Just solo dummy parse without any buff.

As opening i use Huton about 10/15sec pre-pull, then SE+IR > GS+B4B > DE+Suiton > SE+TA> SF+Kassatsu > Mutilate+Jugulate > SE+Raiton > GS+Mug > AE
then just recast of each debuff when is going down.

Looks good then. Food buff, party buff, and fitting an x pot in that opener should up you maybe 20-30 dps (if not more idk).

1 piece away from an endgame gear set @@ doing 610ish unbuffed no food solo consistently at tp starvation, which is nice

thoughts on delaying 3rd trick attack to have it line up better with BFB/dots? feels pretty selfish delaying TA (and kassatsu) by 20 seconds, but i don't really like the timing of the 3rd TA at all atm. makes the 4th one sort of come up the same time BFB is off too if you adjust the rotation to huton raiton suiton k.raiton ration starting with the 3rd TA

In T12, as a NIN, should I be hitting Bennus? Admittedly I'm a little slack, but I've been ignoring Bennus and letting the other DPS wail on it - so I maintain a 100% uptime on the boss.

Using the opener listed in the guide, Bennus would come out around the time I applied Suiton, and so I just ignore the Bennu and Trick Attack and maintain uptime on the boss instead. If the other Bennus spawn at a convenient enough time in my rotation, I usually throw a DoT on it and let the other DPS finish them off. How are you guys handling pre-Phase 3 Bennus?
