    I don't think I saw it mentioned yet but even things like exactly how you're handling the mechanics can cause huge DPS loss. I can't comment on T10 specifically but when I was pugging SCoB, I saw a lot of crazy things that were horribly inefficient, like melee moving to break chains instead of ranged in T6 or dropping a single meteor in T9 in each segment of the arena; after 3 meteors, effectively half of the room was gone and it easily pushed into 5 meteors because everyone was having to move to compensate for the lack of space.

    Once you learn the mechanics and how to safely and consistently deal with them, you want to figure out how to keep DPS on the boss as much as possible by minimizing movement. Just general advice.

    for an average player, these numbers are high.

    NIN 477
    BLM 469
    DRG 450
    BRD 361
    the average player you'll see will be around this :

    melee 400
    BLM 350
    SMN 320
    BRD 280-330 depending on how well they manage the auto-hits.
    in fact, a lot of people are far lower, but if we restrain it to people who cleared or are working on T9, that's about it.

    Yeah, good to excellent players are far higher, more like

    melee 530-550
    BLM 490-520
    SMN 460-480
    BRD 450-500
    but these are really just a few.

There's a lot of breathing time for BLMs to cast between mechanics which come every 30s or so, it just doesn't make any sense unless people are dying left right and centre in the last phase. Don't suppose there are videos of these runs?
    I got another run tonight along with helping some people in my FC get used to the fight.
    Funny thing is, i still think t9 is harder and we wiped the floor last night

    plus i tried out the rotation mentioned previously and we seemed to push phases much much faster than normal x.x

    Another way to boost your own DPS, and I don't know if you're doing this -

    X-potions of INT
    Potent Poisoning Potions (Most BLM's I see will use this during the 'stack' after killing adds.)

    MegaEthers are nice, but take the same CD From X-potions of INT. You kinda have to pick and choose which one you'd prefer.

    If the OT gets the tether on the last phase they can holmgang/hallowed ground it which will allow more peeps to stand in for the charge,

    Dunno if this has been said yet, but is your scholar dpsing?

    They should be when not looking for preys.

    if the OT gets the tether in the tether + charge phase, there is something wrong (OT not being 2nd in enmity or whatever). Or my group has been extremely lucky all this time.
