Do you want GMS %/s Tables?
#11
Thorr Wrote:My point is that the information itself is largely insignificant in actual gameplay, yet the folks who typically frequent the DPS threads in the various Job sections really go overboard in arguing about minor discrepancies in their own comparative calculations. It becomes an e-peen competition over information that very few people will ever use. The discussion almost invariably becomes a matter of "This class is OP" or "There's no way your INSERTJOBHERE is better than this INSERTOTHERJOBHERE because you didn't make the DPS chart right."

Having said that, a rough idea of DPS is still nice to have and I would like to see it happen. The one thing the average person can glean from it is a method for maximizing one's own output. (For instance, a person can decide if they want their primary 4th Job Lumi attack skill to be Apocalypse or Reflection based on the output numbers.)

You can blame the users referencing the tables rather than the tables themselves. Joe's charts helped me figure out whether twilight or ultimate drive was better for mobbing, how much better rapid fire was for 1v1, and that the phantom nerf was ~40% at 1v1 dps. It's a useful tool, just leave it to idiots to misuse a tool.
