Exploit found using FFLOGS

Per the BLM thread: (There's also a reddit thread)

So, question to all the BLMs here. I found a parse on FFLogs of a BLM doing 1586 DPS on A4S which I've been told is extremely, extremely high and not likely to be achieved without a dedicated cheese party. From what I'm able to see, the composition is pretty normal: 1 BRD, MNK, NIN and the guy even got quarantined (lol). Initially, I suspected he might've Flared the adds + Straf + Legs during a coordinated feed but it was never casted once. Then I imagined he abused the aether stack mechanic from the Jagd Dolls where exploding your teammates adds like 300 DPS to your numbers in ACT, but again the max stacks received was 3. Is BLM naturally this dominant or is this run an anomaly? Just trying to wrap my head around all this as a melee main where BLM now tops us on every turn ;_;

Someone has found a way to get a GCD of 2.0 seconds on BLM with only 768 SS.

This is to report in game bugs with detail, not post about someone exploiting the game.

If you read the Reddit post, you'll see that they figure it's just a speed hack since GCDs are handled client side.

Which isn't a bug, it's just someone cheating

Where else do you propose people post it? There's not a report cheaters section, and I highly doubt the reddit is viewed by the devs often.
And until we actually know what the cause is, there's no way to tell for certain if it's an exploit or a hack. There's just rampant speculation.
So it COULD be a bug. And with time, date, server, character name, dungeon (as linked) they can track it to find out.

I tried thinking of a better place to post it, but I figured this was the best place. The BLM thread is 111 pages long and it is highly unlikely any dev is going to read the two relevant pages of it.
