What should it be a consistent DPS for ilvl257 Smn? Not the opening but a 5-10 mins for the whole fight?

Oh cool is that with food + pots? Or with nothing?

[Neela]

Thanks Neela
hope to hear from other Smn too. As at the moment I'm hitting 2350/2300 with an ilvl257 on a full dummy run of about 15 minutes with Ifrit. I don't have bis of food or pots. Is a bit of a mish mash of gear I got (can check on my character) I can break by just the a12s dummy with 4 seconds left

Do I need to be hitting more? (Ignore opener cause that's just the start not the full fight)

actually i never did dps checks with ifrit - we are 2 smns in our fc static both are using Ruda cause of con to expanse dot-duration in trance mode via tri. so honestly i can't give advices for a proper Ifrit rotation. tht being said im way under my team mate (just got ilvl 248 yet and another build than him - he goes with crit=det >ss, i go with ss > crit = det)

but talking to an Ifrit-SMN for endgame content would be indeed very interesting :3

Hey there, I use Ifrit for end game raid. I stacted with Garuda, but learned Ifrit was the way to go. Particularly the first small Boss in as9 then for as10 and as11. Our group hasn't gotten to as12 yet. I consider the frequency of aoe damage party will take ad well as the casts needed. It is a little more difficult since dots are not extended due to lack of contagion. Much more flexibility with more potent attacks on Boss by Ifrit and his shield. You'll learn how to really keep the dots up while dodging everything like you haven't ever done before lol.

S-so SS is the way to go now?! Figures there's practically no gear with both crit and ss this tier.

In light of this here's a little bis I whipped up, it will be better with an upgraded anima weapon with crit and ss
