DPS who do 4k worth of damage = garbage tier

[Luin]

End of story, yes. In this raid tier with i350, if you do 4k damage, you did garbage damage. Most were pulling 4k on Monk in i320.

Tanks can pull 4k dps. You should be pulling at the absolute, true, utter, bare minimum, 4.5k without any party buffs, food, or potions, not in a dummy fight, and regardless of job (Monk should be pulling more like 5500 on a dummy). Bard/Machinist does not *need* Dragoon or rng to hit that much, no job has an excuse for hitting so weak.

Your job is to do damage. You're only doing 4k, you're not doing damage. 4.5k isn't even good, it can't even clear SSS. Don't read that and take that as a goal, take that as motivation to actually learn. Your goal should always be more damage.

All this mumbo jumbo of "garbage dps" "optimal party", etc. 90% of players you come across in pf that demand "optimal parties" or "up time" strats, etc aren't even good enough to fully benefit from their own demands.

You do mechanics and you do decent damage and you'll clear 99% of the. "Savage content in this game.

You'll eventually learn that the people in pf requiring world first party comps and strats are the trapiest traps to ever trap.

4k isn't decent, it's not even enough to clear enrage on Tsukuyomi.

This post wasn't about party comp, it's looking for validation for dealing garbage damage. And there is no validation, especially for a Monk. If you're doing 4k damage as a dps, you simply do not have any idea how to play your job. I've died in o6s with i350, multiple times, as a drg, and still did significantly more than 4k. There's zero excuse for so little damage.
