Top DPS in you t5 clearing groups?

[Villaven]

Reloading from the history database apparently results in some strange allocations. My friend said he had to go in and manually add two separate sections together to get the results, as depicted in this composite of 2 screenshots: http://i.imgur.com/ZIQmd39.png

Also of note, Selene is a factor.

Edit: *Cad parse.

Why photoshop for someone else's auto attack damage?

His friend thinks very highly of him. And thats MS paint dawg =P

[Villaven]

You're right, my mistake. I Just meant to point out the editing and was wondering why (clearly I know why)? =P

Actually looking at the screenshot in more detail, I'm strongly disliking the import from archive, since the total damage values seem odd. Meh, hopefully I can get a cleaner parse from my friend this week.

The main issue with T4 is the extreme skew towards SMNs and BRDs for the clockwork multi-target non-AOE phases, versus the heavy skew towards BLMs and DRGs for the AOE phases. The AOE phases themselves are problematic because a second player's AOE DPS will eat away from the first player's. As a general example, the highest SMN parse I've heard about for T4 was in a group where they (and another SMN) were the only AOE/multitarget DPS.

In a group with a BLM, the SMN would never have hit those #s because the BLM would have wasted the AOE phases too quickly for DOTs + multi-Bane + Shadowflare to really deal that much damage. When you throw down a BLM + DRG + WHM Holy, then all of a sudden you have so much AOE DPS that neither DPS player will really rack up huge #s in the final parse.

I'm assuming you're referring to the 402 dps parse I linked a bit over a month ago.

I see fairly consistent dps regardless of the group. I don't think group makeup matters that much. Maybe 10, 20 dps at most. SMN should always be able to get around 400 on that fight, considering all phases are good for them.

Yeah, you had posted a 2x SMN run which would lead to slower, I suspect, p1/4s.

The 2x BLM parse is interesting. Personally I wouldn't consider P1/4 favorable for Summoners since I would generally expect everything to die too quickly. But, your parse shows otherwise. Nifty ^_^.

Edit: Are you double Baning a single/double DoT on P1/4 and SC Shadowflare or something? Swapping pets (Ifrit)?

[Seobit]

Garuda everything.

Shadowflare and bane twice on spiders, and rouse+spur+enkindle the first set of spiders and the soldier/knight/spiders pack on p6. DoT and bane as much shit as possible.

It looks about right. I just checked my damage on a dummy for about the same period of time as your CAD parse, and I got 81.25 dps for auto attacks. Total dps was 357.73 for the duration.

I don't have BiS, all myth/primals accessories including an i80 ultima ring. Not sure what your gear is like but probably goes to shows you how little difference BiS actually makes.

its the monk.

There is no point in arguing "what is the top dps for t5", because u need smn + blm for double slow on dreads (we had lot of pain with double blm), bard for songs and also boost blm and smn dps, so only choice is drg vs monk.

Dunno about the other jobs, but smn has one cool feature for this fight - can dps his own conflag and dreadnight while being stunned!
