So what our Blm true numbers.

[Shadowzanon]

This is really a myth among BLM. If it were true you wouldn't see BLMS that range from excellent to terrible. On levi I've seen lows on blm as bad as 160, while I have popped 310 on it. Titan ex I've seen terrible low sub 150 parses while I've topped at 307 (2.1). Point is is well its like any other job where there are skill gaps.

And honestly fixing dps isn't simply using <insert rotation here> it is much more than that.

And this is where i call bullshit, if you can pull out those numbers put up the proof. but then its not that , you obviously would know a thing or 2 over other blm if the numbers are that big of a diff. If you pull these god like numbers as you boast, i did see you claim over 400 dps on turn 8, well then make a good guide. I know clearly well you just do not do x rotation as you need to adapt to movement and not pop out a target dummy perfect world mentality. I am aware that i should not wait till i have to little mana to go to bliz 3 and thunder after. I know how to use my wards and all to bypass mechanics to keep me dpsing. Yet im that shitter blm you point out. if you are that awesome you claim to be well write about it, help out those fellow blm who can only bask in your e-juices cuz your e-peen gushes all over them. Id like to know what you do that is so different to make you pull those numbers, see if i can adapt to that and be capable of pulling it off myself.

After a post like this I'd rather not help you lol.

All I was pointing out was that there are skill gaps, and its not just "hit 1" as the guy I quoted before was almost stating.

My turn 8 set up is blm blm brd drg drg war whm sch btw. The bard hits his req. at the beginning and on the 2nd dread, other than that I'm on my own. I do use pots, and poison pots don't count toward parse numbers anyway.

My big issue with ya is well you are boasting something that is untrue. Ill explain where im comming from. When i check my numbers its the full extent of the fight, nothing more , nothing less. It irks me to see someone boast they can do x ammount of dps on a turn but within it they are admitting to only a fraction of said fight but tote out they can pop x amount of dps on that fight. The issue here is that is not you're true ammount of dps of that fight i know is less but not drasticly so. The problem comes when people skim this and then come out n say well there are blm who pull out x amount of numbers in this fight and you are nowhere close to that. This is something i have to deal with not cuz of your post n numbers but due to how many people just boast the most dps they managed to do that was only a fraction of the fight and not its entirety. Id like to know, with your gear, what you really pop on that entire fight, an avarage, that helps motivate one to push foward if they see they are not so far behind. If my runs would go from 280 dps to 320 due to rng n stuff ill avarage out at 300, its a more realistic number in my case instead of me claiming my highest. its the purpose of this thread.

I'm not sure where your coming from other than "If I can't hit those numbers then its untrue... " the parses I've reported have been full fights and honestly I've managed those numbers on more than 3-4 occasions it's not a rarity and they are most certainly not anomalies. Should I post my lows? Not sure what you want. If you wish you can come on my server and I can show you... my info is easily accessible. If you wish to stick your head in the sand and ignore the numbers then that is your choice.

And this is where i call bullshit, ...

stopped reading and advice every other blm not to help that 'lil padawan =)

there are 3 stages of being a blm above average:
1) learn your rotations and skills
2) adapt that information to every different encounter (you have to learn the mechanics of the encounter in synergy with your skill set)
3) don't stop improving with every single engage

edit:
i understand y your raid is willing to push the other dps and not you, tho. me as a raidleader would def do the same x)

Oh trust me I know my rotation well and use all my skills to the best of my ability, i do not follow a set dummy rotation, if there is movement and i need to use scathe or something else that will hit my mana where i cannot pull out the perfect rotation i will made sure i am consistantly casting something and not waiting for mana because i went to low before going to umbral ice. In my group i am the most adaptable to encounters and usually i give them tips to what i can do that can help the group entirely. For example on turn 8 i know manaward blocks the damage from the towers, this allows me to take 2 stacks on the first and 3rd triple towers as long as i do not get allagan. this not only opens up another player to tag towers but it keeps me in the same spot to burn as much as i can.
I do not settle, i do want to improve, which is why i wanna know what we truely can avarage during full durations of fights, not 5 to 7 min in a fight or during a battlevoiced foe requim portion of a fight. I wanna know the whole thing as i base my dps on that.
