    PING and PB

    So lately i have hit sort of a wall as MNK, while i used to do good DPS in most fight, this tier of savage has hit my dps like a god dam truck, now i am not claiming that if i suddenly had better PING i would be the best MNK around, but i do wonder how much does ping affect my rotation. For example, and this is one of my biggest issue atm, i cant seem to hit the 6th GCD under PB, that is a massive dps loss. So how much is too much PING i am at 130 which is pretty high, but does that have such a massive effect on the rotattion?

    I mean sure i do have to iron out most of the savage fights but that 6th GCD is annoying the crap out of me, i have been doing E4S dummy and cant kill it at i453 wich in theory i should be able to, but i cant seem to get past 6%. any thoughts on the matter?

    For one, dummies are overtuned.
    And, are you pressing pb as late as you can?

    This ping thing is really getting out of hand, to such a degree that I seriously think that on character creation the game should check your latency and then advise you that you can't play certain jobs optimally at your current latency, and then list these classes to the player.

    Of course the player should be allowed to proceed if he so desired, but then at least they'd not have to wait 80 levels to find out that they can't optimize the job they choose to level up first.

    I see and i am i have tried several diferent timings in order to do it and out of 10 times i do it once maybe twice, they seem to be flukes due to a suden drop in ping, is my guess. If i try to replicate the timing it doesnt work, sad part is if it were just the opener PB i could live with it, but its every PB rotation, sigh....
