How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Dualgunner]

At i189, solo on a dummy with no party bonus I parse 1190 dps over the course of 3.5 minutes.

My question is, would the party bonus for strength and possible party compositions increase my dps that much? I'm trying to get to the point I can hit 1400-odd dps or something close before I try A1S, because that's the baseline I hear from all the raiders on my server.

Not sure where they are getting 1400 from considering no drg has recorded that amount. Unless they are talking about inflated Faust parses. See here:

I get around 27ish str (976 to 1004 iirc) with party bonus. Figure 20-30 dps

Wouldn't surprise me if it was just bluster from the people I hear from, or odd parse reads maybe. I've personally never been in A1S, been fumbling around trying to form a static.

Its good to know though that the only 1400 parse I see in there is in A2S, which makes sense given what I remember A2 being. Thank you!

They might be talking about 1400 through the boss splitting. That number is usually pretty comparable to your dummy dps. Party buff + comp would be able to boost those numbers a good 10-15%-ish, but won't get you to 1400 without fixing your rotation a bit, I think.

(also yay \o/ still second-best in the ranking of 3-jump drg deeps lol)

Next time I practice on the dummy I'll record and upload it, would you mind offering critiques to help me tweak my rotation?

Sure! That's what we are here for
