Bard Final Coil Dps?

Well yeah, okay maybe not so much about the BLM part, I was looking at the melees more because there are really a handful of parsed 5.5mins run with melees pulling 600+, so your melees are kind of on the lower end somehow.

Anyways I've re-read the reddit thread again and I've missed out the fact that your run doesn't have any caster LB on adds - that probably would allow longer DoT uptime for the BRD's multidot.

Yep, as of this week we're switching to melee LBs. This week was just LB3 plus maybe LB1 later on. Next week it's gonna be melee LB2 ASAP + LB3 near the end because of how the adds give LB, and because the DPS loss you lose from the straight damage difference of caster LB on 2 targets vs melee on 1 isn't so cut and dry - burning the final two adds with caster LB makes you lose lots of multi-DoT uptime, so it evens out.

He definitely got a little more multi-DoT time than a group using caster LB3 but I wouldn't say it's the difference of 30-50 DPS. He's just really, really good at the core of BRD IMO, with basically BiS.

578 is still incredibly good still to be honest given that runs time. Adds were probably melting as well which meant less flares and Two Raging strikes + Convert. I think you kinda balance it out though by not using caster limit break :3

Well thank you. Yeah we've got our reasons for stopping caster LB3, still testing which we want but our fastest clear so far is by skipping it so w/e

If you think the T10 adds melting + not getting 3rd RS + Convert is bad, you should see my T13. Imagine the add phase where the Twintania clone is melted so quick, and the BRD/SCH are doing so much AoE/multi-DoTs, on top of literally not getting RS + Convert back up until the final add spawns AKA it gets saved for Bahamut. I only get 3 Flares that set of adds, largely by using a Mega-Ether. I basically just eat at the scraps of AoE I can get, unlike most groups where you can do a full set of RS Flares as BLM, if not multiple rotations.

It sucks. I could do a ridiculously higher amount with a crappy SCH and slightly slower push times, no doubt, but I gotta deal with it.
