If i'm tanking on North side, adds will pop East, West, and North of us. So if I grab east sides adds, Tony grabs West sides, we'll bring them to middle and i'll hold all. Tonyjust keeps Gobwalker so he gets stacks instead of me.

I'm talking about the four gobs that spawn N/S/E/W. That's an actual DPS check.

ahh, yes. burn the fucks!

Yea I was to merc.

Sorry, I had forgotten there was another set of adds.
But yeah, if Ash is one, Ketu on another, Me and Tony on North add (mainly Tony), and KB (or other dps) on South one, should die well enough.

Not sure if anyone's even looking here anymore, but wanted to share this with someone, even if it's myself.

PREFACE: I understand that clean mechanics are important, so don't bother saying to me "Sol, we need to clean up first before we can think of dps". That's only partly true. Clean mechanics give you the ability to continue fighting, so they go hand in hand. HOWEVER, if we ignore the bare minimum of what we need, than there is no point even advancing further.

Looking at FFlogs for Cuff of the Father, it seems like the lowest DPS required by a group to clear is ~6700-7000.

Breaking it up by what I've seen, in order to make this minimum, here's what we need:
Tanks jointly should be doing about 1500.
DPS jointly should be doing minimum of 5000
Healers jointly should be around 500.

Tanks:
War's are averaging ~850, so MT should be pushing for ~650.

DPS:
5000 / 4 would give each DPS ~1250. Merc usually leads, and carries a little bit for the rest, but he can't be the only one. Ketu's numbers are getting there, too. However, all DPS should be doing a minimum of 1000 dps here; otherwise we won't make it.

Healers:
To be honest, if we're relying on healer dps, we're already screwed. This should be the bonus dps that really pushes us faster. Ideally, the other 6 should be getting us to where we need, and Hannah/Josh are simply icing on the cake.

I have to agree and we need to make sure that everyone is on the same page.without people putting out numbers then we won't clear anymore content. We need to make sure that everyone is doing all they can in terms of bringing dps up and making sure they follow the mechanics.
