5.08 Patch Notes up

Imagine if every run from the start of the tier were uploaded. Do you really think the percentiles would be what they are now?

How is gear taken into account with the logs?

Why are people talking about 95% percentile when that only affects by definition an extremely small percentage of skilled players who will have no problem changing to whichever job gives their group an advantage?

The top 10 speed kills for all floors have every DPS job with two exceptions: RDM is in groups that are a whopping 1 and 3 seconds behind 10th place for E2S and E4S. The horror.

I agree, if every run ever was automatically uploaded, the data would be different. FFlogs is pretty loose though in what is allowed. I really just don't think FFlogs is that accurate when determining exactly how classes compare against one another. It's way too big of an assumption that the 95% percentile is of equal skill to one another from an aggregate of random users from a small subset of the entire playerbase. It's entirely possible and even likely that many of the best statics with the best players don't even care to upload to FFlogs, and thus aren't being accounted for. Just as it's possible that some roles have more below avg. players than others pushing worse players into higher percentiles vs. other roles. It's just better to take that kind of table with a grain of salt rather than treating it as some sort of defacto assessment of where the classes are against one another. I can only imagine that Square has there own means of testing how classes are performing which are way more accurate than what a quickly put together table from FFlogs can offer.
