Current top 100th percentile on P1S since 6.08 buffs

[Blutiful]

Ok but back in Stormblood, Machinist and Bards were the one gaining all the extra damage from Piercing Debuff when it should have been a taxe to give to the Dragoon. They made the change in ShB because Dancer was a living single player padding machine.



To me, aDPS is simply the raw number you did including all buffs. rDPS is your real DPS after they distributed the extra damage you did from toher buffs. Pure firepower jobs do great because all they bring is power. That didn't exist in stormblood. You can see this log, there is only DPS, no rDPS and no aDPS. My Piercing debuff damage buff on the bard. All that extra damage I provided as a Dragoon was give to the Bard.

Couple things.

It doesn't matter what ADPS is to you, what ADPS actually is is defined right there in the article I linked that you absolutely hadn't read, because you obviously didn't know ADPS wasn't what was used back then, because you claimed it was, and you're now trying to play it off as if you already knew. The raw number you did, including all buffs, is your DPS, and yes, that is what Stormblood and earlier used, as I included in my original post, but it is not ADPS. ADPS is a different metric that excludes single target padding, and in the post I quoted, of you, you were trying to say ADPS is a bad metric because of single target padding, which it excludes. You were just outright wrong, lol.

Also, you continue to cite the example of the Dragoon piercing debuff, and yes, if RDPS had existed back then, the RDPS would have been given to the dragoon - but that doesn't explain why you're in this topic insisting to people ADPS is something ADPS isn't. You can't make up your own definition for this term.

Before you start to cite numbers, learn how to read them.

As for this thread overall's original purpose, lol balancing complaints around max parses on a 100% uptime dummy fight, the literal day of the balance patch.
