Average DPS expected from various jobs in T11

I don't think I can hug the egg during add phase, as our BLM already stands outside of the group to DPS the cube (I'm on sphere most runs, which actually makes my numbers worse lol >__>). We don't run a BRD, so having as many people as possible to soak Cannons helps our WHM not go OOM on the add phase by having to spam too many AOE heals. Also, as the poster above said, no BRD = no Foe's, so I know I'll never hit the numbers posted in this thread, but I need to do better in general. I WAS spreading to the back for Seed (two melee and a BLM usually means I'm the one disconnecting from the boss, along with our SCH), so if it's true that dots don't tick if you're out of range that might explain some of it. I'll try a different spread method this upcoming week to see if that helps.

At some point I'm gonna sit down on a dummy too and see how I do. I'll post the numbers back in this thread when I get around to it. I don't want to feel obligated to quit SMN just because I'm not very good at it... I really enjoy playing it. So hopefully with time and practice I'll improve.

also, i dont know how new you are to smn, but you can review the advanced summoner guide on youtube.

your group composition is definitely not doing you any favours in t11 but as long as you're getting the clear, its all good. having a black mage is great in t10, 12 and 13

The monk in our group is slowly improving, he did 412 in t11 and just over 400 in 10. This is much better considering he was in the low 380s before. Turns out he wasn't using ToD properly and as letting it fall off and not using it very much. I feel confident with more practice he'll rise to the job's true potential. I did kinda bad in 10 today tho at like 418 but then picked it back up with 450 in 11. I went into 10 today half asleep. Don't ever nap before a raid and then go in sleepy. Or BLM did around 405 in 10 and 433 in 11. Bard was at like 370 - 380ish in both turns.

Dummy Elena, Just dummy. There is still alot of room for improvement.

I need to sit on a training dummy again myself sometime soon and continue to try and maximize my own dps as well. I still feel like I'm still very much learning this job lol.

Parsing Summoners is odd anyways, because it is just an estimation model, but no real data about dots is parseable. So in a specific try the parse and the reality can widely differ (in dependence on how much crits you got). If your group doesn't understand this problem, well...
Our 2 SMN parse 375 +- 15; I'm ok with that, we kill the boss, that is what counts.

As a smn, I do around 380-400 dps with i115 weapon and I was ilvl 111-113. This week I got 411 dps with i120 weapon. I'm mostly targeting the sphere though cause blm is on cube...

Hopefully, next week I can get higher with the i130 weapon I got.

Mnk - 486 for me this week for T11, i113 + glove,leg,boot pentameld + i120 weapon

Having no Foes will have a huge impact on your dps so, theres that for starters. Ill take a look at my parse and get back to you on (IDK if i swapped to ifrit that time) some details of how I prioritize buffs/pots etc.
Also, the +32 DET I get from nexus is pretty significant. Wouldn't be surprised if i can push 450 this week once i get Apocalypse

So, I did two types of parse yesterday to try to see where I'm flagging. I did a full burst parse until I was OOM (about 4:45), and a 10-minute parse to simulate how I'd fare in an actual encounter. Both parses were with food, pots, and two bouts of Foe Requiem (first one always BV'd):


-1st parse, full burst for 4 min, 45 sec: 460 DPS
-2nd parse, 10-minute stress test: 405 DPS.

This is as a 113 SMN with the 115 book.

Any thoughts? (Sorry for thread highjack, BTW! ;__; )
