DPS calculation for dungeons

[testa889]

Not everyone is a hardcore player here and have 5-8hrs per day after work to play the game,
some of the players have been fighting Ifrit HM for the weapon but it doesnt drop :/
but it doesnt mean that they cant do AK, Garuda, Titan.

you have answer yourself already. if you are a casual play that only play on average 1-2 hours per day, then why do you expect yourself ready at titan?
i play average 4 hours per day , and i spent 2 weeks get my garuda weapon , 2 months to get full dl gear to be ready for titan

being casual and being lazy is two different thing mmkay?

when you are geared (full dl + garuda titan) , it makes titan fight much easier assuming that you know the fight.so why not ? why rush to get relic with ak or even af1?
you dont die to plume doesnt meet you contribute to the dps pool.

think of the whole party into your consideration.

You dont need DL or Garuda weapon for Titan,

I have beaten Titan with a party that only have AK gear/Ifrit(DDs) weapon and some GC(Healers) weapon,
During Heart phase we have 3 LB bar and 2 DPS used status potion, everyone eat their food before the fight, took us 2 times to beat it.

It is possible, but maybe a little longer fight, with DL/Garuda weapon does make the fight faster/easier, but still, if your team mate doesnt know what they are doing, even tho they have decent gear, still end up losing.


My point of this thread is, that, some players judge you based on your DPS, which is not fair.

Except it IS fair. If you're there to do DPS, you shouldn't be judged on it? That's WHY you're there. There are always exceptions, the person who has to watch for interrupts and the like, but otherwise, that's what a DPS class does. DPS.

You are right on that,
but DPS is really depending on different dungeons/events

For Titan as example, BLM can have lower DPS sometimes due to there are so many things you have to dodge during the fight, and Bard can have the higher damage because they can attack from anywhere during the battle and while dodging the moves.


my intention of this post was based on, dont judge someone based on their gear/dps, some fights are situational, so it really depends on player's skill instead of their gear.
if a player with godly gear but doesnt have the skill, it is slowing down the team. Dead man has no DPS

I was in a Titan fight once and my LS mate accused me for having only AK gear with Ifrit weapon +30 VIT status is a dead weight,and saying that I wont be able to do 60% of another Monk's damage (fully geared with DL and Relic)
but but they all died on the second wave after the heart phase because they dont know how to run away from the moves excepted me

bla bla bla

30+ vit is equal to 30- str and that is equal to -10% dps, if you are so good (like you kept mentioning every 1/2 posts) then you don't need those 30 vit, so if you don't understand that you are a) a noob who doesn't even know how every stat work or b) not so good player.
Can you understand now? if i see a random monk with +30 vit and undergeared for the fight i will obviously tell the party leader to kick him
