Guy does 980~990 dps with 100% GB uptime in 3:30-ish mins, which is what most people are parsing for. Havn't seen many people outparse that with GB dancing yet.



GB damage is multiplicative as are most things in this game.

That means GB only really only gives us an extra 4% increase total. I'll look at the video when I get home.

That entire parse is lucky crits and procs. I would not use that as a base line.

Many people talking about it there.

Wouldn't that apply to most parses posted recently?

The parse I posted from Viola Endstasis has him sitting at ~1010 dps without Wildfire or the 977 dps parse from Zetsu Tai 2 pages back can be cherry picked with a insane proc or crit rate as well, since I doubt people will share parses with poor performance or bad luck.

Which is why I want base line parses. From what I am currently seeing MCH DPS can fluctuate from 880~950 with out party food or pots. I am more interested seeing what the class can do at its worse rather than its best.

I must be really unlucky then, because in most of my parses while my opening damage is fantastic same as everyone elses, afterwards my damage goes down the drain fast as i pray for procs until our burst comes back up. Confused as to how you guys are keeping your damage up there afterwards.

Are....people really being this ridiculous? As soon as a MCH gets semi-decent parses people say it's unrealistic and start comparing it to the 1300 DRGs (which I haven't seen) that are also unrealistic?

Can you deny that the parse is cherry picked, full of lucky crits and procs? If so you not watching the same video I'm watching.

Can you say that every other parse for every other class you've seen is not? People are only quoting the numbers from other people's parses but aren't actually showing videos or anything. Regardless this person is NOT the only one to get a MCH parse is the upper 900s.

Guys, guys... the issue is the inconsistently in the DPS.

The RNG causes it to flux too severely. Can't you see?

Yes, they're capable... but you need to be absolutely lucky. And when you're not, well the Job gets boring quick (1-1-1-1-1-1-1...) or it makes GB too fickle (which I don't think it should be that fickle) which' poor design.

If they give us more ammo (QR>15/R>45) or up Split Shot proc chance to 75%, that would almost entirely fix the Job.

It'd fix everything except for MP/TP regeneration's being turret-gated & the blandness of the debuff-mechanisms (e.g. Dismantle/Rend Mind.

Adjusting the power-curves for Split-Slug-Clean (and their proc's) slightly would help too but it's less essential if being granted more ammunition.

^ point I am trying to make. People posting lucky parses showing what the class can do at peak instead of posting what their "normal" DPS is. This gives people inflated idea of what the class can actually do when in reality you have to be quite lucky to pull that off.
