Dancer: What dps should it do at I level content?

[Buster7]

I'm honestly asking to fellow dancers that have Ilevel 448+.

I have Ilevel 450. Cleared E1S and E2S.

But got recently kicked out of a group for doing "real bad dps for a dancer".

Frankly I can only manage to average 9.7 to 10k on average for an entire boss encounter. Once I had 10.2k but that was RNG being on my side. I frankly don t see how a dancer could and should do better (11k+?)

I m just a bit frustrated to have been kicked this way (Second time now).

Am I really bad or ?

I am honestly asking: What is the acceptable dps level of a Dancer at high Ilevel?

Id check ff logs were i you

You're doing great, DNC's numbers as a whole are kinda low, And if anyone kicked you for being a 10k DNC they're not worth worrying about.

Your dps doesn't seem bad for a dancer. Are you eating food as well? Have you put materias in your gear?

I recommend you to join The Balance[discordapp.com] discord group as they are the best for these kind of questions.

Also give this video a look, it might be useful to you.

Thanks for the kind words.

I mean that's what I thought. I ve been checking FF log for a while and most dancer run at 9.7-9.8k dps on E3S.

I know this looks low at face value. But I've been in groups where we achieved 75k Raid dps (Way above Savage Enrage requirements). So I Think the Dancers buffs are making up for the personal dps for sure.

But thanks for the confirmation because I do not know how I could do more lol

Yeah I do eat food and even take pots sometimes.

I also already know of the video you linked and have applied the suggestions for a while.

That being said. This being a test dummy. The guy on the video doesn t have to worry about Boss mechanics. which obviously can lower your dps a bit a certain intense moments.

didn't see that one. That being said. If you check Ff log. you ll find in the top raid kills Dancers with 10.5k dps.

That's like the highest from the best of the best. I don t inspire to be a competitive monster. Just to do enough to get the job done.

And from what I'm seeing on the FF logs. Most dancers that Down E2S or E3S have A DPS of around 9.7k. Which is about what I m doing.

been playing dancer since the release, i'll have to admit our dps is the lowest of the distance dps. But we have great buff especially if paired with a class like machinist which can throw a lot of skills a once.

Ok talked to other dancers in game. And It seems that the thing I was doing wrong was not saving my Feathers and Esprit for burst windows. I ll do some tests with that in mind from now on.
