Thread: Patch 5.4 Delayed Openers and Raid Buff Alignment

Hello there~

With the new MNK changes, specifically Brotherhood changes, raid DPS has changed quite a bit. So, I took the time to update my Delayed Opener list, along with charts comparing the raid DPS between early openers and raid alignments with delayed ones. Unlike before, I've made all the comparison charts much easier to understand at a glance rather than the jumbled mess they were before.

Overall, so long as everyone in the party uses them and no parts of major buffs are lost during an encounter, the delayed alignment results in higher raid DPS. My advice, however, is that you should really stick with what you're comfortable with. These are just meant for optimization and squeezing out a bit more DPS. Hope this helps!

Ok. Could you point out what you see as incorrect?

Wow. How do you not see it? It doesn't take long to run into several. Are you even using formulas on your tables? The funny thing is that every error found seems to be in favour of the early opener. The delayed opener seems to have such high potency due to maths error.

I explain the rules on how I calculated everything in the bottom of the doc under "Info Regarding Table Calculations" and everything that's listed in those charts follows them. So just by saying that the math is wrong and not explaining why doesn't prove anything.
