A question for DPS Theorycrafters

[Drakuaza]

For what I can see.

It is more efficient to increase the two casters damage by 20% each, making it a 40% overall, assuming you will use battle voice as well.

The Dexterity potion will increase the bard's damage by 20% or so in best case scenario, assuming is the mega potion.

Giving the item level and weapons of each class, it is more beneficial to boost by 20%, totaling 40% of the two casters, than gaining in theory, about 20% dps increase for just 8 seconds or so the potion lasts, whereas Foe's + voice lasts at least 15 seconds at its peak + whatever your mp allows you to.

By class, and item level, the two casters are by far pulling way more dps than you, even assuming they all know their rotation perfectly and are playing to their best.

The item level is too much that increasing the bards damage by 20% is almost unnoticeable compared to boosting the other two.

As a bard, no dps loss will happen since requiem does not lower the bards output, but 2 out of 4 benefits from having foes as opposed to 1.

I'm in agreement that the mp option is the way to go. Just to clarify though, the x-potion gives 84 dex and lasts 15 seconds, so I'd have to do some tests to see what the exact % increase is. With that said, I'd still wager the casters are getting more of an overall benefit than I would be. What I was kind of looking for was the exact difference, or close to it, to see how big of a difference it is to see if it's worth doing even in non ideal situation.
