Where I part company is the "dodgeball" mentality that poisons online communities (and school communities, for that matter).

    In short, I'm speaking about people who don't know--or, more likely, don't care about--the limits of competition.
    There's a large difference between a slight difference in DPS, which people in this thread have openly said they do not care about and someone in full i210 doing 500 DPS. Before you say I'm exaggerating, no, I just witnessed someone in full i210 doing 500 DPS. You have to actively try to do that poorly.

    doing 1-2-3 repeat as any melee job gives you more than 500 dps (tanks excluded because tanking stance, though some i210 tanks manage to go under 250 dps....). Even Ice mages can go above 700 dps.

    Unless it's a "ruin only" smn, I'm not sure how you can achieve such a low dps without purposely spending full GCDs doing nothing. If anything, I'm impressed by the willpower of these players. It must be harder to be that bad than to perform on a good level on a regular basis.

    It was a Bard, can't say I know enough about the class to say how it was done. Considering it was Bismarck Extreme, I have to assume they've been farming for the mount for quite some time and resorted to watching Netflix/TV while clicking 1-1-1-1 over and over.

    I'm not surprised it was a bard actually, now before anyone jumps down my throat, the reason I say that is that bards and machinists are the only classes that can completely disable their auto attacks, blm can do over 700 with just blizzard as Kuwagami noted and smn garuda can contribute enough DPS that ruin two spam alone should bring them over 500 in full 210.
