DPS classes numbers and ranking posted on reddit

Interesting how this gets 12 pages and only one person mentions DRG can't use dragon sight on a dummy parse, and everybody ignores him. Dragon sight is 10% for 20 seconds and can be used twice on this length of parse, that is not an insignificant amount of damage they are missing just because one of their skills cannot be used solo. Considering it would be used in the opener as well, where most damage buffs are stacked multiplicative, for a ton more damage I would feel okay adding a lot to their parse.


Not only that, but DRG aren't the only ones suffering such an anomaly. The MNK parse, just 5 dps behind NIN, is missing two casts of Brotherhood, which I feel safe in saying would more than cover the difference between MNK and NIN, even if you lowball it and say a MNK would only get 1 FC per use when it is more likely 2 - 3. Long story short, don't trust dummy parses for any kind of ranking, they never tell the full story.

Is there a video to see how it was done? Dragon sight is an easy fix if you just take the parse while in a party.
They may have all been partied to normalize the party buff too.

But if they didn't do that, then yea those factors would be relevant to use dummy dps as an upper limit for these Jobs.

No video but I am pretty sure they were done on SSS, and again, don't quote me on this because I haven't tried in a long time but I am reasonably sure you can't take a party member in there with you, solo only.
