MCH in alex savage...

[Necato]

Our MCH does around 950, though we still wipe to Faust (5% >_<). According to the party, it seems that she is doing OK.
As a Bard I'm usually between 1100-1150 (no pot, everytime I use them, there is a big fail and it just goes to waste...)
I made it to 1250+ but as Sessurea said, flaming arrow probably inflated the DPS here.

I'm ilvl 183 with only a 180 weapon. I was dealing over 900 sustained yesterday. With Hive weapon, 1k would be easy to reach.

I'll agree with this. I'm at around i172 currently with the i180 weapon. I can easily keep above 800 - by that, I mean without really trying just pushing things as they come and being only basically sensible with skills. If I'm trying I can keep somewhere between 850-900.

With the Hive Weapon and a bit better gear, I don't see it being unreasonable to sustain at least 1k. Not sure about getting that with i165 as someone suggested (really might depend on their weapon and whether food/party/pots are being used).

With party + food + potion + DRG piercing debuff its "easy" to keep 1.1-1.2 if You have around 185-187 ilvl and Weapon 190 during 2.4 minutes

I said "easy" because RNG during no ammo can destroy your DPS, It's not the common , but shit happens.

MCH has the highest opener I have seen far away, BLM is close with Foe + Battle Voice.

Last night I was sustaining between 1 and 1.1k on Faust consistently. That is with dragoon in the party, dex potion, i186 with hive musketoon. Highest wildfire I got was 6.7k.

[Craiger]

I don't even play MCH, so I hope I'm not talking too much BS, but I've seen/heard MCH's getting 1000-1100 DPS on a striking dummy with food and pot.

That's without party bonus and other possible party enhancing buffs.

Normally, these 3 min parses on dummies don't mean anything, but this is literally like hitting a striking dummy... And it's even shorter duration than what you normally parse on a dummy.

I don't wanna offend people, but if you're a DPS at the appropriate ilvl, hitting 1k+ DPS on Faust is not hard, it doesn't matter what job you play. Just have to practice your rotation on a striking dummy

That sounds... dubious at best. Granted, we don't have a MCH in our group and I don't play one myself, but I highly doubt that.

That sounds... dubious at best. Granted, we don't have a MCH in our group and I don't play one myself, but I highly doubt that.

I would say it's just slightly behind a BLM+BV Foes. But yeah, MCH can easily reach 2k burst.

[RiceisNice]

1k is not out of question with MCH if we're talking sustained. I usually see myself around 1.2k for our faust clear (ending at around 980, but that got diluted because we went into overtime and started kiting). While RNG can be a pain, it shouldn't vary your dps by more than 50 a long fight.

[HairyRoger]

It's easy to spike 1k+. I'm talking your average parsed DPS after 3 minutes. No MCH is sustaining a consistent 900-1k not with the RNG involved between wildfire.

I parse between that on a dummy without food or pots. On faust, with a drg in the team, 1,1-1,2k depending. The RNG is something you can tone down if you use reload correctly. Not sure where you got your info from.

[Ipkonfig]

We were keeping about 5800 average raid DPS on Faust and got him down as he enraged and killed the MT in one hit, and I learned that Living Dead does nothing against his enrage hits right after that hahaha.

Our BRD was doing between 930-986 so you don't need 1k+ on MCH/BRD to clear, but BRD was also playing Foe's Req for our SMN. MCH can Hypercharge Rook for 5% more physical damage which is only up for 10s every 120s? Most groups run 5 physical/3 magical but I wonder if that could match a Battle Voice + Foe. Granted MCH does more DPS than BRD so it could all balance out, I might rather have MCH than BRD for Oppressor though, Rend Mind would be nice.
