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

Actually, despite the misconception out there, drg dmg isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be. I play both and get fairly similar numbers when I play either of them with the drg being just a bit behind my mnk. You could say I'm a bad mnk, but at the same time, without counting the LB and in IL 55 gear sans the two IL 70 rings (I got rings first so I can use them on both jobs I play) I avg ~205 dps on bosses and 170 on hm titan. My drg lags behind by about 10 dps. (I know my numbers aren't the greatest, but for my gear they aren't terrible).

Edit: I got the garuda weapon on my mnk along with the DL head and chest and now I am doing ~230 dps on bosses in AK/WP and ~195 on titan hm.

You're welcome. Do you remember if you got to LB3 and used it? We kill it in like 4 minutes and only get LB2 which I use to finish off the second snake (but I excluded the damage from the parse). If the fight lasted longer and the DRG did LB3 that would be a big boost to his total, plus his rotation might have been better (longer fight with more slugs fed = more total damage to be done).

Regarding Howling Fist and Steel Peak, there is absolutely no reason to not throw them out as free damage in coil. In turn 4 you will want to prioritize Howling for the AOE packs rather than single targets, but you'll have time to use it several times against other things, too. In turn 5, save those two for parts of the fight where you need more burst damage like conflags and dreadknights. Other than that though you should just make a habbit of working them into your rotation (probably wait until you have GL3 going for better damage).
