Stone,Sky,Sea

[AlphaFox]

I did Seph EX and failed it with 3secs and 2% HP, literally it just stopped with time on the clock. I'd say that is pretty good but they do fail to give accurate representation on it as some skills become useless or unusable. While I know some I can't really depends on like the proc for parrying an attack its still damage or the missed MP from Blood Price to allow more Dark Art uses. Otherwise I welcome them and enjoy it, havn't really tried much else.

Are the Stone, Sky, Sea trials only broken up by tank, Healer, DPS?
or
Are they broken up based off of job?

Yes, the DPS requirements are different on each Job :

Well thats a psuedo parse. Doesn't help in the real thing, but gives you "somewhat" of a rating. q.q

Saw that document flying around at reddit and it seemed fitting to post it here, too. :>

I'm would like to know how realistic these dummies are.

Tried it yesterday with my i203 MCH.

Got down A3S dummy with 15 secs left.

Got down A4S dummy with 10 secs left.

Both first try. I'm not a very expierienced DD player.

It left some questionmarks over my head.

AS2 is the same requirement as Thordan Ex.

AS4 is the same requirement as Sephirot Ex.

Midas is between AS2 and AS3.

Might help people to arrange their testing. ^^ Link.

How does dealing damage to a dummy help me heal? Surely it should be more like (another MMO) where you are told to heal a tank or heal a target taking damage the tank would take in the fight...kinda useless to me as a healer what my dps is...since i wont be damaging that much.

I feel the same way.. Lol. I finished Thordan Ex with 20 sec left.

I barely downed Seph EX with 2 sec left with food buff.

I logged in today, and got both down without a food buff, but failed Seph Ex by 7% WITH the food buff.

Failed Midas with 1%, with a food buff.

Either my luck as absolute crap or the dummy isn't right...

When they were first put in for base item level they expect the healer to be contributing as well, while not much its just saying "This is how much you need to be doing while healing". Again though, that is more bottom line, if the DPS are well geared you can easily get by without having to do as much as the dummy says.
