    Are the dummies on The Lawns (New SSS) overtuned or am I just bad?

    So I've been playing around with the jobs that I have got to 80 and I've noticed that even being a bit overgeared (i.e 440 while doing Titania EX) some of the fights I still struggle with, however, in the fights themselves I have no problems, often being either first or second place amongst other DPS, so they aren't carrying me either.

    Little confused by all this. Anyone else have any experience with the new SSS?

    Never had an issue for the extreme one on any job, even without a single trial piece. Being first doesn't mean much as most party's I've been into have 8~9

    k dps first.

    What job are you playing? What % does the dummy have when the timer runs out?

    Tried it as MNK with 440 gear (one 430 ring and one 450 accessory) after the new buffs, without food or pots, gets to around 10-15%. More just curious if the HP values for the dummies are reflect food/pot/melds use or not. Couple of the FC members have said that it does seem a little bit higher than they would have thought, but I'm just trying to gather information so I know what's going on. If these dummies are accurate to the dps expected from the fights or not.

    I had issues at first when playing drg, which I had just picked up earlier in the week. Once I got my rotation down a little better and stopped fubaring it. I was able to beat both innocence and Titania with 10-15 seconds left on the SSS dummy. Before when I was fubaring I would have roughly 1-2% left when the timer ran out.

    I think my Drg is 444 ilvl currently, was around 441 when I tested on the dummies. I would pay attention to your rotation if haven't been and see if there are little mistakes that could be cleaned up. That was my issue, could possibly be yours as well?

    As tank with ilvl450 gear with no food buffs or potions, yes they do seem a bit overtuned in general but I think Stone, Sky, Sea is always overtuned...
