BRD i110 DPS output

Also with the new Ironworks gear numbers will now vary as the Soldiery gear for the most part is not all too great

Ya the only Sol pieces i can honestly say i like are the chest, belt, and i guess a couple accs.

K. did a little test with my current gear for you. 4 min runs as you mentioned in the first post. No party, food, pots, Misery's End, DRG, etc. ~440 w/ i130 bow (i115). ~400 w/ i110 Shiva bow (i112). Not quite i110 but close enough. Should note I have a good bit of crafted gear along with the slightly higher ilvl. so maybe subtract 10 - 20 DPS, and it should be close enough.

I think my original estimate of around 370-390 @ i110 seems reasonable. Good on you since you mentioned you are hitting that range. With some practice I'm sure you'll be able to execute just as well in combat.

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.

My bard is currently i110. On my last ST run I parsed 397 for the entire raid, and 403 during Amon which was about a 4 min fight. I wasn't trying for my best possible parse but it should give you something to work with.

Oh it is in the tos but i am sure SE know that people use them, lol

except that the training dummies aren't meant to replicate boss mobs. they are meant to replicate standard cannon fodder mobs.

Because thats what people need to test on right? Trash mobs. lol.

I don't know what Square-Enix was thinking but they definitely designed the Training Dummies to replicate Trash Mobs. Another game I used to play but won't name did it so much better with their training dummies. They had ones for Trash Mobs on the starter worlds, then they had ones that replicated their version of Dungeon Bosses, as well as another set that replicated their version of Crystal and Syrcus Tower Bosses, and yet another that replicated their version of Binding Coil Bosses. It was all really well done. They even had a set that was specifically designed to replicate other players for the purposes of testing for PvP. Of course this game actually ALLOWED the use of Parsers.

Saying definitely is a huge stretch... and even then trash mobs don't die that fast to ensure a 100% uptime on misery's end, nor is trash DPS ever relevant because it's mostly AoEing or multi dotting

Yh I hate miseries end on dummy. + good tip in this thread: Always beware of padded bard parses.
