How To: Maximize Your DPS as Dragoon

Who made this rule exactly? This is my disconnect from the rule as I don't agree with it specifically for DRGs. Perhaps this would be the case with smoother DPS such as monks, then this testing would be viable. As far as I'm concerned it means nothing for a DRG and is frankly inaccurate in a real fight for the class. The fundamental is that it is a spike DPSer not a consistent. However if this is what you wish to use for your testing, then go ahead.

Well its not a rule but its only natural that people try to make their parses as long as as possible, since it evens out RNG and is therefore more accurate. I was just pointing out that the parses that other people used where over a longer period of time, which makes their numbers smaller. For burst phases i have seen parses go up to 400 dps.

This is not a burst phase. The logic in that 'rule' is faulty, especially considering that there are different classes in the game that do their damage in different ways. For example, some classes have access to execute abilities which can and will raise their DPS factors. In addition, Coil / Titan have heavy movement mechanics which alter rotations (hence the reason for making this one) I do not agree on that being the indication for every class. It's one dimensional in my opinion and if it were true, I'm certain a developer would confirm it. It's nothing more than speculation as it currently stands and should not be considered the one and only rule for confirmation of DPS. One has to determine for themselves what they feel is best.
