Need help pushing Ninja DPS to the next level.

I don't know what to believe no more. People in A1S pugs tell me my iLv207 NIN is doing 1200 on Faust, while someone in the same group said I did 1301 on Faust.

Varies based on the program they are using to parse the numbers, many things can be factored in, the 1200 person could have a longer timer for when the parse stops counting for instance, which would lower the numbers for everyone because there are seconds where no one is outputting DPS.

If only we could get some kind of sanctioned in-game meter that we could all see at the same time and wouldn't have these personal differences in reporting hmmmm...(looks at SE).

Like in DC Universe?

The timer only continues when someone is doing damage, so you could technically have 10 minute timeout while you're all idling around and your numbers would still be valid. Unless you configure your fight to continue from heals it doesn't matter, but I believe it's off by default.
