300 DPS WAR - How are you pulling this number?

[Feylie]

I called the strategies potato/tomato and you insist yours is better. I'm still trying to find the DPS loss in moving the boss 5 steps vs having casters move.

The DPS increase is this: After the first fountain, our BLM ignores them completely. BRD + SCH + WHM handle the 2nd(losing no DPS while doing so). Everyone completely ignores the 3rd. Boss dies right after the 3rd fountain spawns and Rev hits.

Our fastest clear time is 7:03, even though it's not the world record I welcome you to beat us and show us a more efficient way.

My point being is that there would be a slight DPS gain from using Unchained even if you aren't tanking - you don't need a tank swap to use Unchained, and a tank swap would probably lower DPS because of the transitional 2-3 GCDs of the PLD not attacking so that you can cement enmity.

You aren't totally off-base, and I would say it really depends on the group for which is better (moving Phoenix or not), you are just confusing the point by implying contradictions.

However, this thread is about WAR DPS, not overall group DPS on T12, so....

PLDs do not have to stop DPSing with a good WAR.

The first 2 unchains are fixed in T12. Unchained during the first bennu, unchained during the add phases. The 3rd will come right around the end of the second fountain if I'm remembering correctly, but you won't get a 4th so using it anytime in the last phase works.

7:03 is fast!

I stopped saving T12 parses months ago but we still meet one day a week, that's something to gun for. Healers taking 3 stacks?

Yah adlo and stoneskin before the 3 hit is good

No. After the first fountain we let the last 2 ticks of the second hit the boss. And then the 3rd is completely ignored.
