It's not impossible. It's unlikely, but not impossible. As we verified by pulling up damage only done to Faust.

I was getting around 1630 in A2S as well, but a lot of that can vary based on comp and how much raid DPS you are doing. My raid isn't super high on the DPS spectrum other than myself.

Yeah we had a DRG. Battle Litany + Internal Release is just silly.

That's not what you said.

Also as others pointed out you can absolutely check your damage on Faust alone too even if you do get splash. Our offtank just pulls the adds off to the side.

Faust is a pretty short fight so if you get good crits you can ride the DPS high before leveling out. I'm pretty certain that others can vouch that I am not going to post up some numbers that I've made up. By the way I asked the other person if they had another melee and forgot to state that I had a dragoon for Battle Lit...oh that sweet, sweet Battle Lit on a short fight is nuts.

So you weren't talking about checking for Faust alone, if you were then that sentence wouldn't read like. You're saying you did XYZ Dmg on the normal parse and are getting 0% splash damage. A little different. Not saying you can't do the damage you did, I'm just saying 0% splash dmg sounds super false.

1484 sounds realistic for a mid to high i190s mnk. especially if you have a beneficial group composition(litany, ast card, etc.) and a good crit rate.

Just an example. There is likely room for improvement too.



I believe encDPS is the accepted number

Edit: Is there also a nin in your group?

No, monk, dragoon, black mage, and bard. I want our bard to go machinist. The 1484 I got was one with splash, and I was a bit over a bit over 1400 on just Faust for that one. However, I agree Battle Lit is awesome, and doing a triple melee comp for a fight like Faust would be pretty awesome just to see the numbers if anything.

Ive been trying out Ossom's rotation currently to see how it pans out versus 3.0 and im liking it thus far the buffs down the line sync very well with demo. I didnt like 3.0s buff lay out after the opener my ir/b4b didnt line up with demo at times unless i wait 1 sec at times(nope). I still have test more and write down how the buffs mesh with everything.

Sure.

(PB) Demo --> Snap --> Snap (B4B) --> DK (IR) --> TwS (Pot) --> ToD (Elixir Field) --> Boot (Steel Peak) --> True (Howling Fist) --> Snap (Forbidden C) --> DK --> TWS --> Demo (Pot falls off).

Here I line up B4B/IR/Pot one GCD later. The reason for it is I don't like the idea of "wasting" one GCD with the Pot's buff on a not fully buffed Twin Snakes. It also ends right in time for the last Demo to get buffed by it.
