Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Dervy]

it's rare that someone exports their complete combat logs to share publicly.

I think one issue is the lack of knowledge about ACT itself. Not many people even know how to import/export ACT logs, or even know where they're stored on ones computer.

Truth right there, all this stat weight stuff is so boring, DPS optimization is the funnest part of raiding for me.

What else is there to optimise about the Dragoon. All we do is poke a spear into something and pray we have crit RNG.

But seriously, strategic optimisation is something that we rarely ever talk about in this thread unless someone specifically brings it up. Aah well!

EDIT: Because I'm a dumbnuts.

I'm actually interested in watching the video of it, do you have your friend's Twitch?

I'll ask him if he'll allow me to link the vid from his stream For now, I'll link the screenshot I took from my laptop after our attempt. It has the RainbowMage mini parse on his stream in it. t12 DRG dps from stream.

Nice, my best on T12 has only is 554 I think, what was your crit%, crit dmg%, raid dps and kill time on that run? That's an insane run, good job!

Awesome! From the parse, seems like 18% crit. Unfortunately I can't tell you much more, wish I could because he cleared everything below t13 when we started BP But I'll try to get info from another member. Also, regarding your other comment on no one believing your high dps. I always have believed your numbers We seem to be around the same so I definitely believe.

Are you sure that's unmerged? Time says 01:36 on the top.

I do believe that number's possible if you guys had a long-ass fight and it ended right before second dodge phase, though. Would still probably need to sustain 630~ or so the entirety of your uptime to sustain that with the downtime (time waiting for Bennus to spawn, waiting for Phoenix to become mortal, dodge phase's 20s or so of standing around), which sounds hard without a NIN, though I could see the AoE/multi-DoTing portion slightly making up for that.

As far as I know, yes it's unmerged. Not entirely sure how it works since I play on a PS4, but on his stream the time would reset for downtime in t12. I'll see if I can link his stream so you can have a better understanding xD Yes, it ended before the second dodge phase.

I haven't watched the stream but that looks like it's only the last minute and a half of the fight. If you're looking for unmerged your friend needs to change the values for when act starts a new encounter. Until then this isn't an accurate parse to look at for t12 as a whole.

I think I see what's up with the time. I think his encounter timer is set too low, most likely the default 6 seconds.

So I think what happened is his ACT started a new encounter after the Dodge Phase, and that lasted 1:36, that would explain a few of the very wide ranging numbers there, such as the 328 BLM.

Gotta have zero culling for a fight to be unmerged, which is the only accurate and fair way to judge DPS. Not only will merging sometimes mess up both DPS and encDPS just by weirdo merging, it literally doesn't count downtime after it gets culled as part of the fight and then you'll have highly inflated numbers.

Not saying that's definitely what's happening here but that's just how it works when culling happens. One duration from start to finish, taking in all the downtime as part of your DPS, the only way to keep it fair group to group.

I HOPE YOU GUYS ARE PROUD OF YOURSELVES!

[Ricdeau]

Wow, I see people say things that are actually offensive all the time and no bans for language there. That's pretty crappy. :/

While I totally agree with you, linking to a picture that has the language someone was banned for might not be a good idea
