Highest DPS vs most fun

The reason why Lucrezia's BLM got 700 DPS on T10 was because they stack the adds. I got 595 on T10 using the normal method.

Also, aside from Team Eevee, the rest of DnT groups DPS aren't really anything special. There are higher DPS groups out there.

I know what Lucrezia did, I just said that as an example of how that turn can be interpreted wrong. I just meant, you can multidot the adds as a BRD, which shoots up the DPS like yours did... That's not fair for comparing DPS. Only SMN can really benefit that way in T10.

You're missing my whole point with your statement: "There are higher DPS groups out there"... I'm trying to get down to earth, and talk about what you should expect from a good player, not what the best of the best players in the world can get.

I started playing as MNK some weeks ago, and while I can still improve a ton, I'm getting good DPS according to what most players think. If I get 570 DPS in T10 (MNK's don't really benefit from the adds), which is my highest number so far, I think that's pretty good... not record breaking by any means, but good enough.

I think it's right to expect a MNK to be able to get 550+ DPS in a fight like T10, but to expect people to get 600+ DPS is absurd... Which is kinda what you're doing with BRD right now. Just because you and some other best of the best on BRD can get consistent 550 DPS on BRD, doesn't mean you can expect it from everyone.[/QUOTE]

EDIT: One more important note... From all those higher BRD parses, there has been a DRG in the party, which increases your DPS considerably. Another thing you have to consider

I get where you're coming from in that saying 'any good BRD can average that' wasn't the best choice of words to describe those numbers.
It's more like 'this is what BRD can achieve at the highest level of play'.

That said though, Kairi did say that BRDs with groups that achieve kill times such as those can usually hit those numbers, which is true.

I think the keyword here is 'groups'.
What's often overlooked is the incredibly high level of skill, coordination and group synergy that goes into every single individual's best parses for a turn - they did not lone wolf it and achieve it themselves.

Drop the best players of any respective class into a final coil PUG or even a 7/8 static that does things differently than they're used to, and they won't even come close to the inflated 'averages' set by the community.
