10.......char

I only posted T10 this week cause that was our attempt at a t10 speedkill.

I can assure you the rest of the numbers are real.

Currently doing zodiac on 2nd mahatma. With a 31/44 nexus spear. Should I hold off on zeta when I finish all 12 and wait for further research?

Nah. You can easily respec Zeta just like everything Novus onwards if you need to.
You can even copy your 31/44 stats onto a sphere scroll and toss it in a retainer for safekeeping if you do actually want to play around with stats later.

You've never seen SpeedRun parses before have you? I've seen people pull much higher DPS than those posted.

Short fight = high burst = less time where your GCDs aren't buffed. Especially true if you're ending on a B4B rotation with Jumps and stuff. MNK kinda suffers in short parses due to how their DPS works (sustain vs burst), whereas DRG benefits greatly due to most of their damage being front loaded. The shorter fights get, the more burst heavy jobs become powerhouses.

That being said we can still take off around 30 more seconds, if not more. There's 40 more DPS to be had on the BRD, and ~120 om the BLM

120 on the BLM ? Do you do the stacking method ? There's no way a BLM is doing 620 without the adds stacking. My highest without the adds stacking is 550 with LB 3(1 death towards the end, a charge+tether and no Nin) and 592 without LB and Nin. And I am a full i130 with Zeta.

With the stacking method, 620-630 sounds reasonable but I just cant see how its possible without.

Clearly you haven't seen Lucrezia's T10 parse.

I believe they did the adds stacking method though.

[Odowla]

That 120 would be from Add stacking, yes. Theory being that in a Vanilla speedkill without stacking, the BLM's strong suit is really just the AoE LB3.

I think woth my groups DPS, add stackingbwould be more than 30 seconds, TBH, since we'd get and lb2 and an lb3 (total of 60K damage or so) on the boss that we wouldnt otherwise.

They're no where near my best run either so there's much room for improvement.
