If you're doing 600+ before DBs... keep on keeping on.

re: adds. Maybe it's just my group but our tanks usually group them up so folks can AoE. I guess, this is not normal then..?

As for SCHs... even with echo, T13 is still probably the most healing intensive fight in the game currently. Granted, it's less difficult if everyone is absolutely perfect, but Eos can go a long way to helping keep the party alive, and the WHM from going OOM.
That's why I don't really like threads like this, because people compare in different ways... Not saying you did anything wrong, just have to be a little more clear.

I can get 700+ DPS as MNK before downtime if I'm lucky, but it much lower at the end of the fight

This is another reason I don't like threads like this... You can't always use things like that to compare to your average player. By average player, I don't mean casual players or something, cause it's the same for most hardcore players too.

What I'm talking about is that DPS can be measured in your favor. I don't know if that's the case with those numbers, but it's very common for really hardcore groups that want to push that DPS to the max, to actually do everything possible to increase DPS for one player or something. T10 is the obvious turn to skyrocket your BLM DPS ofc, but you can probably do something to increase it for T13 too. Probably don't get targeted by a single ES either, which increases DPS a ton.

I don't know how low ping some NA players get either, but I'm pretty sure EU on average gets lower DPS because of higher ping, which people have to remember... Not as big difference as Japan though, which is shown in videos by Lucrezia, where they get DPS on some jobs that is literally impossible with the ping in the west.

That being said, T13 is a pretty decent turn for BLM.
