DPS for Alex Savage Turn 1 Final Boss?

[Hakuohsama]

Hey Folks,

right now we are stuck on Turn 1.
We get to the enrage easy mechanic whise, but we lack a bit of dps.
On Faust we reach arround 7k Raid DPS, but when we reach the enrage from the final boss our dps goes under 5000.

What should be the dps of the melees and ranged dps?
Is it important that the scholar does alot dps too?
As a Bard my dps is arround 800-900 in this fight.

5000 Raid DPS is required. You can count Melee LB 3 with 140 DPS. So group has to do 4860 DPS. DDs should be at 900, both tanks should be at 900 combined, leaves 360 DPS for the healers which is doable.

SMN - 919
BRD - 893
MNK - 867
DRG - 846
WAR - 535
PLD - 440
SCH - 159
WHM - 135

TOTAL: 4,825 (Just started Self-Destruct)


Note: Both Tanks had Penta-Melded i150 STR accessories (+155 STR, +140 VIT) and specced full STR. Level 60 Food and Potions were used. It's a pretty close call. First Oppressor should be at 60% (or less) HP when Oppressor 0.5 appears. The chance of beating this encounter with a phase change at 62% or higher is extremely slim as Oppressor 0.5 appears with that % of HP as well.


A trick in the final phase, after the very last jump, is to have Tanks and Healers grab one add each and then completely ignore them (there's absolutely no reason to kill these adds; it's just wasted DPS if you do so.) This prevents the DPS from being mini'd while your entire raid is focus firing the Oppressors. Don't forget to remove Defensive stances during Self-Destruct (doesn't cost a GCD to click Shield Oath and remove it.) And don't use dot rotations just before they fly away as the DoTs don't tick while they are in the air. Therefore use high damage combos like Royal Authority about 10 seconds after you survive each Plasma tank buster.

Thing on Faust is you have to look at Faust him/her/itself's incoming damage, looking at people's encounter DPS will give you wrong results as certain jobs (mnk, drg, brd, sch, smn, mch?) have AoE attacks that they use in their normal single target rotation (elixir field, geirskogul, flaming arrow, shadow flare, etc) that will hit the adds and thus inflating their numbers if your OT is tanking them close to Faust.

[Sessurea]

Get the sch and brd to duo the initial adds ( trap them in resins stacked at side of boss ), whm solo heal p1, and get boss to 60% before 0.5 alarms come. no secrets after that though, just gotta handle mechanics best u can.

[Malevicton]

Keep in mind p1 is the most important for dps. Since the clone's hp is based on the original's every hit you land in p1 is essentially 2 hits.

As Sessurea said, 60% seems to be the magic number.

Alexander has Turns? Hmm, I swore it was FLOORS. Not sure when people will wrap that around their thick skulls.

Probably about the same time as people wrap it around their thick skulls that arguing semantics just makes you look like a pretentious ass.

Technically it's Arms.

Not that it matters, but if you're gonna nitpick and call people idiots, at least be right.

More dps you have in the first phase, less dps you need in the last phase.
