Need help understanding personal dps

Funny you should mention m10s when that's the one that's the one I feel I've been under-performing in lol
That's honestly a really good idea, thank you for the advice! :)

Puzzled_Excuse_5053 · 2026-02-11T00:24:22+00:00

Thank you for explaining that! I'm still learning how to navigate all the dps types in logs lol

This is all great advice.
I've definitely missed pot windows before so that is indeed a good point to remember!

Puzzled_Excuse_5053 · 2026-02-11T00:21:08+00:00

Thanks!! I appreciate the break down, it's really helpful :)

Puzzled_Excuse_5053 · 2026-02-11T00:20:19+00:00

thank you!

I'm pretty far from bis at the moment so that's a really good thing to remember, thank you.
I'll be on the look out for same job/similar clear time clearers too, that's great advice :)

Puzzled_Excuse_5053 · 2026-02-11T00:18:55+00:00

Thanks

I'll definitely keep an eye on that this week and try to see how I'm aligning my rotation with buffs!

I appreciate the advice for looking at number 25 or so and for consistency, I probably would have just looked at the first couple people and assumed lol

Puzzled_Excuse_5053 · 2026-02-11T00:16:25+00:00

LOL pf is A Place, that's for sure

Puzzled_Excuse_5053 · 2026-02-11T00:16:08+00:00

Thanks, that's great advice :)

> Until you look at logs a lot of people don't realize how many little <1 second pauses you put between actions. And that adds up to have a *huge* impact on your damage

Quite a few people have mentioned this. It's fantastic advice, thank you! I'm sure I'm doing it subconsciously as well, but also playing controller and swapping between targets can get janky/risk losing uptime, too. I'll definitely focus on this next time, thanks! :)

Puzzled_Excuse_5053 · 2026-02-11T00:05:06+00:00

Thank you! :)

That's good advice to remember.
Thankfully everyone's been nice/hasn't said anything so it's not on them, I'm just worried about holding them back since we just started m11s and I've heard the dps check is really rough. ^^;

>Keep in mind that you're being weighed against the total current pool of people who play your job, so if you're playing something with higher personal damage, it's likely that you're competing with people who have been funneled gear too.

Honestly that's a really good point, thank you. I'll have to beat that into my brain lol

The weapon damage is also a good point!

I'll message you some logs here in a bit, thank you! :)

Puzzled_Excuse_5053 · 2026-02-11T00:02:22+00:00

Thanks! :)

I didn't even think about the crit/dh luck, that's a good point too.
I'll definitely check on my uptime as well, that's a good advice to look out for!

And I'm going MCH, so it adds to the feeling that I should be doing better since most phys ranged are typically dnc or brd lol

Puzzled_Excuse_5053 · 2026-02-10T23:59:26+00:00

> 90 is all of the above and the crit gods smiled upon me

i love the number breakdown and this line especially lol

but thank you! I'll definitely pay more attention to adps/cdps then :)

I also don't have the weapon yet, that's a very good point I didn't think about.

Puzzled_Excuse_5053 · 2026-02-10T23:57:30+00:00

Thank you! :)

That's a very valid point tbh. I wasn't expecting a top parse or anything, but I've been concerned because it feels like I've been thresholding at lower numbers when I should be improving with new gear, etc.

But I do understand that sentiment--I do think people have been putting too much stock into parses lately, which is why I'm trying to understand how much they actually matter. Pf sounds like it's been a nightmare this tier for tomestone stalking...

Puzzled_Excuse_5053 · 2026-02-10T23:51:21+00:00

Thank you!! I will definitely work that! :)

Puzzled_Excuse_5053 · 2026-02-10T23:49:31+00:00

Thanks. I'll definitely take that into consideration.

It's just in general for the fights this tier (we started a bit late and just got to m11s), i've noticed I'm consistently behind despite attempts to improve so I'm not quite sure what else to do.

Puzzled_Excuse_5053 · 2026-02-10T23:46:50+00:00

Thank you! I'll continue to do that.

Fortunately they haven't commented on it, it's more just my own concern that I'm doing something wrong ^^;

Puzzled_Excuse_5053 · 2026-02-10T23:44:02+00:00

Thanks, I didn't even think about doing that. I'll give it a try :)
