Not that Ex Trials are the end all be all, but it would swap MCH and DRG in your tiers, and RDM/BRD

I think DRG is still close enough with MCH, MNK, and SAM to stay in Tier 2, but I think RDM and BRD swapping makes sense. Maybe NIN is on the same tier as DNC?

Tier 1: BLM
Tier 2: DRG, MNK, SAM, MCH
Tier 3: SMN, BRD
Tier 4: RDM
Tier 5: NIN, DNC
Tier 6: WHM, PLD, GNB, DRK, WAR
Tier 7: SCH, AST

One day FF logs will have a way to separate external buffs. Until that time anything on that list is always suspect. People always end up using the single target buffs from other classes on what ever the meta tells them is awesome.

Merrith linked the 75th percentiles. I cross-referenced that with the 50th percentiles and I think padding isn't as prominent in those areas.

Yeah my links were just quick and dirty links I found searching for ShB dps class rankings.

Then by complete accident, they happened to be pretty good lol

With a star turn-in that is 1990 white scrips... 12:00-15:59 Fish Eyes + Mooch a common for a 7% catch and get it HQ.

All the dps are with in 15 percent of the number 2 dps. AST and Dancer padding is a pretty big deal. I would take most things with a grain of salt. Like one of the top runs when I checked it last week had like 4 dragoons.

I just wish there was a way to turn off all padding skills. Like give an option for personal only buffs or something. Like what if your team isn't running a ninja or scholar? How much does that change the parse?

Kihra's working on adding rDPS in fflogs, but some of the way the game handles a couple things are screwy so it might take a minute.

Fuck I should probably unlock the FATEs shit, I keep getting capped from doing random fates, and then spend all my stones stuff on materials, which is fine but then once I finally unlock shit I won't be able to buy the stuff without farming even more, which sounds retarded.

I'm slowly picking away at mine. I didn't want to grind it out since the reward at rank 3 is the orchestrion rolls. Decided I'd start with crafters and use my gems on the I-don't-want-to-farm-this crap like skins and other monster drops.

The Cunning Craftman's Syrup recipe as a collectable is just insane. I'm sure I blew through a couple mil worth of materia failing melding but anything you need crafting yellow scrips for is just so trivial any day you have that with a little mat prep.

This game's community is extremely fucking autistic.

I got my Titania clear run tonight playing on a 4K TV. Visually that fight is amazing, but still can't top the second half of the 80 MSQ dungeon.

I don't think anything can top that dungeon segment, or will, for quite a long time. WIll second Titania's animations, especially "let's go play in the forest".

Is there a reason to hoard white gathering scrips, or is that all going towards VIII materia?

Materia until they patch in the Master VII books and scrip mats, I would say.

For gathering buy what you need to meld your current set and then stockpile for the future or sell extras on MB. Craft is similar but we should get Master 7 books (likely costs yellow scrips) in either 7 days or 21 days depending on how generous they are. The recipes will be i450 combat gear.

A reminder that for Stormblood we only had a starter jewelry with 4.0 release and then a final jewelry set with 4.3. So right side may last awhile.
