Naoki Yoshida's take on machinist during Japan Expo

Snip

Good chance that group had the AST feed buffs to MCH to make it look decent. Look how terrible that DRG's damage is in comparison.

This is what he had to say about the DRG in the reddit thread:

He's normally our OT and isn't too used to the fight. Also he did LB3 during the last vulnerability phase. But no excuses lol.

Also this:

I didn't get fed any DPS. All I had was the piercing debuff. All the cards went to the melee.

And what does he have to say about that Summoner ?

Well, you asked:

Not really a SMN friendly fight imo. Harder for SMN to take advantage of the burst phases when most of it's DPS comes from DoT's which are pointless to reapply during Vuln phases since you don't get the full potency.

And a reply by CareerSMN:

Agreed.
With a good party, SMN dps will be lower due to less time for DoT's to tick on Ravana before he changes phases.
With average/bad parties, SMN dps will be top or 2nd highest at least due to longer time for DoT's to tick.
For Ravana EX, I cannot out-dps MNK/DRG/NIN if kill time is below 7mins. However I will be king if the kill time was above 8mins since I get another round of RS DoT's out.
Biggest conundrum of our job, we do better the worse our fellow DPS are and vice versa.
Also would like to see the video of the kill, I'm interested to see what your SMN was doing and how it differs with what I do.

So much for a non-summoner friendly fight. Posted in the exact same reddit thread :P

But yea, I just think their Summoner was slacking. Still, pretty impressive Machinist parse.

You saw that Garuda is separate from the SMN right?
S/He did 794 dps.

I did. That's still pretty low given their kill time. See the pic I linked.
