Are you having a WAR help you keep the buff up? I noticed when parsing with one on a dummy, I had a hard time aligning things because of myself waiting 15sec to begin. Have you tried seeing what you do with no WAR and you doing Dancing Edge? Even with mudra lag at it's worse, it does not drop your DPS that dramatically.

@Best-MNK-NA: Thank you for your help a couple of weeks ago. I've gotten two new pieces of gear (Dreadwyrm Sash of Scouting, and Ironworks Brais of Scouting) since, and settled on using your opener (although I do Trick Attack and Kassatsu in either side of Shadow Fang). I've also started using DEX pots. I ended my T11 clear last night with about 415 DPS. While it still feels rather lacking, I feel like it's probably because of Mudra lag. A couple of nights ago, I magically had zero lag, and I was hitting some upwards of 430 DPS on T11. I'm hoping to see the numbers go higher once I am more familiar with the tethers phase of the fight however.

Without my two new gear, on my T10 clear I managed to get to 402 DPS. Still feels low but hopefully it'll push up for next week with the new gear.

Ok, have a somewhat noobish question...

I'm just now really getting started on leveling Rogue/Ninja and only have it at 24. I know it's still a ways off, but I'm wondering what kind of Soldiery gear is best. There's always that chance that Poetics will be uncapped by the time I'm ready to start gearing, but I'm just curious about Soldiery first. I've never been big into running Coil, so that's my only other option. To be more specific, I know the body pieces are Gloam for NIN, but the accessories are what I'm confused about. I know logically, it would seem right to continue getting Gloam accessories, but the Auroral set seems better suited for NIN. Especially with the boost in DEX. Any thoughts/tips for me? SMN is my main, so switching to a melee DPS has been quite a change and any advice would be most appreciated!

Edit: I should also apologize if this is an old question that's already been answered elsewhere. I tried searching for info, but didn't really turn up anything. Thanks again in advance!

Snip

If you wanted soldiery gears and high allagan, you can try to take a look at this http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/OPI4 which is i believe BIS for 2.3?

On a side note, just wondering anyone can tell me what's your dps on T12?

My Gear is http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/PG4K and seems the max that i get upon cleared is about 450-ish, 1 melee, 4 bennus with Caster LB, and fountain duty.

Is that considered as low?

[Solus_Sto]

Thanks for the tip.

As for T12, I honestly couldn't help there...for whatever reason, I've put off Coil for too long and am just now getting through it for the first time. Just cleared T6 yesterday, so that's progress, I suppose. Plus, it doesn't help that I play on PS4. So if I'm ever curious about my DPS, I usually end up asking if it's decent or not.

In my opinion, that's quite good. It also depends how you deal with red fire and whether you got targeted for blue pool most of the time, do you need to chase after bennu? or glue to boss. Like my team, the melee deal with the red fire ourself, so have to run around when get targeted
I was always doing around 440-480ish(whole fight not just the final encounter) when I was using Augmented dagger in T12, with fountain duty(which i don't think affect our dps if the tank pulled boss near it), and also doing a LB3 during start of final phase (we don't use caster LB for 4 bennus), and another LB1 when it's up.

My gear stat was similar to yours before, around 560 crit, 340det, 420ss. This reset I got my dreadwyrm dagger and need to change around my equips for the accuracy
