Lizard haz brain? o_O
Anyway, I learned something from you Aikaal-sama, combined with the knowledge I got from Puro-sama, I managed to clear my first T13 as top DPS yesterday, with 30 DPS gap to 2nd top DPS (DRG) and 50 DPS gap to 3rd top DPS (MNK)

Getting highest on T13 is easy. But then you would have to sacrifice your Monk's DPS by not leaving the gusts up for them to keep their stacks during Teraflare.

Sometimes I wish our static never had a Monk.

I mean addphase literally does not matter at all. Its a set DPS check - it doesnt matter if you have 15k DPS in that phase or if you have 2180 DPS - if everything dies, that's it. The only way to increase add phase DPS is to push with the 3rd drake spawning after dives.

It doesn't matter from a raid dps perspective but it definitely matters for individual dps, if blackmages were suddenly given a flarebuff where instead of dealing 240 potency it just 1hits any add they'd flare all the adds, instantly killing them all, and getting a massive amount of dps for the 3 minute period that is the 3rd phase, everyone else in the group would deal 0 damage during this time, the bard, monk, and dragoon clearly do less dps and the blm clearly does much more dps in this phase, which then translates to decreases / an increase in overall dps, respectively. Blackmages may not get a 1 hit mechanic but they're dealing more of the required damage in the addphase than their teammates because of aoe, if you dont let them hit the gusts their dps goes down in order for everyone else's (particularly the monks) to go up.

> I'm glad to hear. Sounds more successful then my Piety build yesterday xD

I'm not dare to try piety build yet xD

I was too confident with the raid wide DPS so I just flare up everything in P3. I was sure we could beat it below 14 minutes mark
Besides, we still had a Pain wandering around after Terraflare. So I don't think the MNK dropped his GL3
