As a general rule, if you are using something like Snap Punch -> Bootshine, there is 0 reason to move behind the boss immediately after SP, idle two seconds, then hit BS.

Instead, stay on the side until a moment before the BS, then move to the rear, BS, then move away. That should also be enough time to step back and True Strike as well.

very useful tips. thank you very much!

A part from rotation, how good/bad is 68K of damage on Caduceus?

Honestly I don't even have a number to throw out for comparison becauseI haven't parsed coil in months because we have 1-4 on farm and our t5 progress is almost completely execution/positioning issues not lack of DPS (so far), so I don't really care about parsing DPS as long as lack of DPS is not an apparent issue. 68k sounds pretty good for your gear. I can parse my run tonight and report back if you want a ballpark number from a more geared MNK.

You'd do me a great favour =)

I got a bit worried since the DRG in our party parsed almost 90K, so I started being paranoid of being a bad player XD

What I was thinking is that maybe the big difference was caused by the lack of DoT tracking by the parser and from the fact that DRG fired LB3 (not even sure if that counts in the parser or not).

Generally speaking, I also never care of parsers, but in this occasion someone posted the results aftermath in party chat.

66k

Quick one-shot, no LB damage included. I forgot to eat food since t1 is so easy at this point. We don't feed slugs after split so our overall damage is lower than if you let it heal back up from eating.

Thank you very much Mishaela =)

So I am ok with dmg dealt, I guess. Still I'll try to learn a new rotation including Bootshine , Howling Fists and Steel Peak, as you guys suggested me. Thank you =)

....so the 90k dmg from DRG less geared then me is either exceptionally good or wrong lol. We'll never know I guess XD

What? That is crazy talk right there! When you have things on farm, trying to beat your own dps is one of the most entertaining things to do when you raid. That, and having competition between the dps to see who gets the top damage done. (I'm not flaming you, just having a bit of fun) But ya, for me when I get to that point when raiding, it's the dps meter that gets me to continue to raid.

In general a DRG should never be out-parsing you on a single target fight. That sounds like an LB3 in the DRG's number. However, even with that said, the DRG is doing better than you, since you should be ahead of the DRG, not counting the LB.

How about DoT? Does the parser counts them?

[EasymodeX]

Depends on the parser and the version. All 3 parsers will model DoTs in their latest versions. It won't be 100% accurate, but it won't be far off of reality though.
