I really need to find a better static. Still can't down A1S. We lost a DPS so one of the pugs was the DRG in third. Zzzz.

Holy shit. I got 1175 last parse on Faust (without food) and am at ilevel 185. I greatly respect you. Hopefully there's some crazy jump past a certain ilevel threshold... or you have a badass static!

just look at their party comp, double drg and an ast, a LOT of raid dps increases outside of just gear.

was this with food and pots? great parse! I'm at 191 as well but can only get 1277 single target on Faust with no food or pots, and not one fracture thrown in. I'm assuming the extra battle litany from the 2nd dragoon could have something to do with that number. Maybe a good 20dps increase, if you stack that with your second internal release

1330-1350 on Faust sounds right for the item levels listed pending group comps. I pretty regularly get in the 1350 range on Faust. I have a dragoon on my team. Why no food though? I mean even some cheap Black Truffle or something. I can understand saving pots since they are bit pricey, but food can be had for very little for some of the older foods and it'll last you at least 30 minutes or 40 if you run the FC food buff.

At this point with my static being 189+ on average, no need to food or pots on faust. I know its barely a 3 minute fight, but thats just my way of thinking. I must be not rebuffing correctly to be behind +80dps to a similar geared monk. I tend to throw DK 1 gcd after it ends, the same goes for twin snakes. instead of cliping them at 3-4 seconds remaining

I have a dragoon on my team as well, no astrologer. Lost of 80dps is just too much to ignore.

I pot in dungeons. Sometimes food. No excuse, help your group out as much as possible, unless you are just ridiculously poor and can't be bothered to make gil for the sake of combat's benefit.

Besides, that food lasts until the meat of the fight.

Anyway, the point is that neither food or pots are mandatory, but they certainly help and should not be discounted as insubstantial. I get that Drac Pots can be a huge drain on money if you or your FC/friends can't make them. X Pots are very cheap on my server now and are a great way to go if you don't want to spend the premium. Food can be very expensive, but it lasts 30-40 minutes depending on FC buffs and getting older food is very cheap and easy. Static DPS increase just for hitting that button once every 30 to 40 minutes. You seem to be concerned with your DPS enough to comment and ask questions. Leaving out some those two sources of DPS shouldn't be dismissed just because you can get by without. By the same argument you can get by without large amounts of gear. We all want to push farther and excel at our jobs so why not take some easily attainable advantages?

For those monks out there who have cleared A2 and possibly A3, what numbers are you pulling? Also if you could include A1 numbers that'd be great. My group is currently having issues in A2 with DPS, meeting enrage with about 15-20 seconds worth of dpsing left to do on the last widow when the big bomb goes off. Our bard is having to play songs quite often, and I have resorted to not using rockbreaker as much as possible to help TP issues, since my TP is like a black hole when I use it.

I Dont know my exact A2 numbers since I play on console (1.5k+ last time I asked the friendly PC players of my group) but in regards to rockbreaker I use it in waves 3,4 and 8 mostly, I couple it with pb when its up. You can get purification off up to 4x in A2S, mix that in with invigorate and you should be alright. Would be interested in hearing what numbers are pulled in A3S though.
