Shit, I've done 514 dps without a dragoon in a significantly longer fight duration (8:30sec) and im really far from bis (still using ironworks bow), estimate on the dps gain I'll get from upgrading bow, pants, earing, and chest is somewhere around 30 dps. The fact that my estimates were lower than this could easily have been pessimism because all the top bard parses available were just from goodsetup + gear and not because they were actually truly great bards, it might be the case that someone would have done this sooner if for example rinchan nau got a good drg+ninja parse or I somehow got geared (fcob plz) and a dragoon ninja parse.

Also its probably lower than 8% added for a dragoon given the multidotting phase etc. So really that just makes the 590 more incredible.
IIRC for single target alone DRG's buff isn't an exact 10% buff so coming down to adds phase, while I don't have the exact math I think we might not even enjoy a 5% during that.

590 is indeed an incredible number. Further breakdowns to the ACT parse to look at the individual crit % could probably reveal a little more, but no doubt it is pretty much skill with a little help from the crit RNG god to produce good crits and at the right time as well.

I'll probably have to re-look into how we are dealing with the 2nd set of adds. In a single NIN team I have some 56X DPS carry over from the 1st set of adds until I have to play my first Paeon slightly after it (where all CDs are down), but the decay on the numbers is strong during the 2nd set of adds.
