Gonna call bs on that you were 260 when zurvan came out you didn't raid at all in creator? also teh fact the you killed him for the first time a few days after somehow i doubt if you were skipping soar in full 260 surly you would of had a clear. But that's as far as I'll go with that

I did, albeit with a upstart group, and were new to raiding in FFXIV myself. My group at the time didn't skip immediately but we did skip well before actually clearing A12S. You're severely overestimating the DPS check regarding Soar. Another factor to keep in mind is many PFs had five DPS and still couldn't skip. There is no excuses there.

Point being if you were clearing savage floors you were not 260 which was your argument. You're underestimating it with people being at the min ilvl for the fight of 250-260 skipping soar with 4 or 5 dps

... I said my ilvl was 260. You do realize that impacts your damage more than a hodgepodge of gear, yes? Five DPS will easily skip Soar at ilvl 260, provided those players are good. Skipping Soar at lower ilvls simply required higher input from the tank(s) and healer(s).

I'll just leave this here.

Percentile, simply put, is a way of ranking players against each other. If you’re 90% on damage, it means that 90% of players are doing less damage than you. Crucially, it doesn’t tell you how far you are from the top or the bottom. You could be the second best player in the world (you’d be 99%), but you don’t know if the one above you is doing 10, 100 or 1000 DPS more than you.

Many people don't know how to read fflogs or how to benefit from them to get better. The URL should help.
