    Lately I've been doing about 20 - 30s of Paeon around 2 1/2 min in and maybe 15 - 20s of BV Paeon around 5 1/2 min in. There's no reason to not give me a Goad or two for the adds with all the TP I'm handing out.

    Is the MNK using fracture for ePeen runs or something? even if they were I don't see how they'd need every Goad with Paeon being played as well.
    MNK is using rockbreaker during adds.

    Anyways my ninja never gave me any goad during any of the turn. God knows what's she thinking. I've asked her to but she still doesn't hand me any goad and only ask me to sing more, which is fucking stupid if I have to play Paeon more than the standard Paeon timings and lengths.

    Which is annoying to me (a newly formed group), because the MNK's DPS is quite wide way from the ninja and sometimes, still far from some of the benchmark numbers despite the goad love. He was only around 51X in this T10.

    For me my 1st paeon is actually slightly after the 1st set of adds, after Raging Strikes has finished and waiting for BfB+Hawk+Barrage to be up, 2nd Paeon should be around the same time as yours before the 6th minute mark.

I barely sang at all for the rest of the fight, even if it was monk nin tho I dont think I would have been particularly worse off TP wise, it probably woulda worked out better, too much tp isnt a good thing when its poorly distributed. Also I was a total asshole and didnt pop a foes near the end of the fight because I decided me getting 2 more gcds for a better parse was more important than increasing overall raid dps, obviously didn't cause any issues and I don't really feel bad about it because they're not exactly pushing record numbers themselves.

    I'm thinking its entirely possible the 513 parse was inflated by smn similar to the way rinchan theorized his 540 parse was somehow inflated by summoner. I doubt the actual damage is increased, just the parsed damage. Its either that or not needing to sing + trick attack improved my damage almost as much as piercing does, or it could also be that this week I did even better with cd alignment than I did last week (I had only started working on it like 2 days before my 517 parse, so I do feel like im doing a better job at landing fully doublebuffed quad barrages every time and other gibberish)

    Who really knows? All I'm pretty sure of is if I had a smn drg nin brd parse with zeta or dread bow and dreadwyrm pants I'd be able to put out crazy numbers.
    How does SMN potentially inflate the numbers tho? I'm curious.
