Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[EllPii]

Well after 3 Minutes, 1 Member in the Party, 1 X-Pot and Black Truffle Risotto Food, I only managed to hit 615. Had no Poisoning Pots, but would that increase it that much?
I'm following the Rotation of this Thread and a long time ago I used it sort of wrong, cause of refreshing Buffs/Debuffs too early, but after some advice I'm not doing any kind of these mistakes anymore,
so am not sure what else could be the reason for the lack of DPS on a Dummy?
If 640 DPS should be the actual DPS to aim for that is.

It's definitely not 640.
I have the same set-up as you (xpot, food, party, no_mercy), but I use a crafted filler and only do a max of 610-620 with a reasonable Crit rate.
But I have absolutely the worst ping on the planet (as mentioned a few pages back), so my Jumps/SSD/DFD will always clip into the next GCD.
I would say a solid 620, so you're on the right track.

No it isn't - You're telling me you can Mercy Stroke 240/90 = 2.666r+ times during a single target boss encounter?

[Sleigh]

The main problem with Mercy Stroking a dummy and then using that in a meaningful comparison with other classes is a NIN or BRD doing their enders will horribly skew their results, and it's crazy fight dependent how many Misery's Ends a BRD will get per your Mercy Strokes.

IMO best to keep finishers out of a dummy parse and then just consider the damage outside of your results.

630-640 shouldn't be too far away with a finished gearset imo

with xpf, im doing 605-615 with zodiac (35det/24crit/24sksp) and i110 choker, no mercy stroke. getting dread spear and dread choker would push that to 630+ at least i think

[EllPii]

My gear set is 1str off the non-crafted bis weight, and I've only ever seen 630@29% Crit, which is extremely high.
So I really can't see 630+@20%.
That being said, I have no idea how much it varies between softwares.

Edit: I was following Tetsuya's base of 3 minutes.

I think so too. All I miss is choker for crafted bis.

Wait hold on, did RICKY GET A SPEAR?

We simply can't be throwing around numbers without specifying a length, people. Blood for Blood is that important.

This. Everytime I see ppl throwing parse numbers, I ask myself:

"How much time did this person parsed? Wich was the crit %? Is this an avarage number, or the highest after 2k atemps? Wich is this persons ping?" and the questions goes on and on.

And that's why I don't really care for DPS numbers in this thread. Except when someone bring a clear Screen Shot, where we can analyse the results.

Meh, IMO the zodiac weapons are a waste of time.

Coil is a waste of time, too. Without my Novus I would've been stuck progressing T10-12 with the Liberator.
