BRD i110 DPS output

[PenelopeWinn]

Quick question. I'm curious as to what a non "BiS" 110 BRDs dps number should be looking like after a 4 minuet parse. Had a friend kind enough to check mine on a dummy, shiva, and a couple other random things and would just like some real life numbers to hopefully get a feel of how much i need to improve to be an asset.

Changing my main from War to BRD due to static mumbojumbo.

330 to 350 mayb? Was hitting that on t8 with a full sold brd pre 2.4. not sure about echo now

Ok thats not to far off. Dummy i was cappin out at 373 is what i think he said it was, in fights i was abit lower 320-330ish but ima go ahead and chalk that up to lack of practice and skill + situational thingys.

Depends quite a bit on the weapon. i110 weap or i115? Some parses are also misleading because people will use a lvl50 dummy and Misery's End. Others have also used party buffs, food, pots, and DRG's Disembowel to pad numbers.

So with cheesed numbers and i115 weap... 470+. More realistic numbers with no party buffs, pots, dismebowel, or Misery's End. Probably more like 390 to 410. The range on BRD can be fairly broad because of RNG procs.

With an i110 weap I would have to do some testing. It's been a while. But I would guess about ~15 - 20 DPS lower than i115. Roughly.

Apologies if my numbers are off. Currently at work and unable to test immediately. My goldfish memory can't remember i110 and i115 numbers with absolute certainly since I've recently obtained better bow.

Ya i had to end up going to summerford because the ones in the homes just die wayyyy to fast, which tempted me so much to use it.
Welp if your right about 20 dps lower for 110 (its shivas bow so dont even get the rosen crit.) then i guess im on schedule.

Why are we ignoring Bard's finisher when performing parses?

Not that I am in any way endorsing parses, because I am not. And I am actually shocked that you people are openly talking about using parsers on the official site when it is known that Square-Enix is against their use. But I am curious as to the answer of my question.

You can pad your numbers by a good 5% or more if you use Misery's End on a lvl50 dummy every time it's available.

The topic creator had a question, and I attempted to provide a useful response. That is all.

And a useful response it was. Thank you kindly.

Because it can only be used for the last 20% of an encounter. Using it in a dummy parse would make it very inaccurate to determine what you would be getting in an encounter because you are practically forgetting 80% of a fight.

parse stuffs

My thing about parses are that if someones using it as an o 500 dps or gtfo thing then thats bad.
But they help players see where their at and what they can improve on, SE should really let them be used.
