They were helping someone else get their clear so that could be why other DPS was low, iunno. I wish I was in that run to see it though haha.

Our BLM takes joy in stealing add phase DPS from the rest of us ._.;;

Ways to have a higher T13 parse:

Limited/no Earthshakers (or at least being Covered)
Having another melee do LB2/LB3 in final phase (whichever your group gets)
Doing no orbs, running out for orbs = DPS loss
No stopping DPS of any kind for an easier transition
Not breaking off to fight the wyverns that spawn or moving boss
Having crappy DoM (ALL DoM, not just BLM/SMN) in add phase who can indeed steal everyone's numbers, or just crappy other players who will let you have longer uptime in an otherwise fixed amount of time
Minimal/no Megaflares, depending on stack location/point in your rotation it can be pretty bad to get Megaflares
More uptime on boss in final phase. The more time you're fighting the boss here, the less % of the fight the downtime of the add phase is
Typically not a big deal but occasionally doing a pylon/tower/exploding thingy can hurt positionals so the less you do the better, technically

I actually really dislike T13 number comparisons between groups and even repeated personal numbers, it's one of the most RNG and strategy impacted turns in the game even if at first glance it's just pew pew mostly.

So true.

I'm the only Melee of my group. If I don't get the first Earthshaker, I'm sure the PLD will cover me if I get the second, so I can pop my CDs asap. For add phase, I usually just helo to kill first and third adds, don't ask me why the other DPS can take one of them but not all :P

3rd Phase, my BLM is brute.

Finally, for the last phase, that's where I get angry. Our MT is just bad at moving, and due to his lack of skills dealing with MegaFlare+Tethers, I need to back off for Megaflare (like FAR FAR away, or he'll just kill himself if I get pool/random damage), and it hurts my DPS badly. Specially on phase 3~4 transition, where I need to wait until the first Earthshaker comes out to pop my burst, since I can't hit that Full Trust + BfB due to first Megaflare disconect. It really pisses me off. Also, we stack in midle for that phase, one more disconect.

You just described myself on t13, lol

So many wipes due to tethers.... having two BLMs during p3 doesn't help either

You know what's really upsetting? When you finally get a piece of loot from Coil, but it's not even worth equipping because your crafted piece gives you a greater gear-set DPS output .-.

I have a question about the Platinum Earring of Slaying. The CritIVx2 Accx2 SSx1 meld is supposed to be part of the expensive crafted BiS set and the CritIVx2 Accx1 SSx2 the "cheap" one? I've been lucky with my crafted belt but the first Accuracy meld on the earring is being brutal.
