Hi all, I use Izanami's very cool DPS calculator a lot to get an idea of how different jobs perform (https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/57175/all-jobs-damage-simulator-and-gear-sets).

But I was curious if there was a spreadsheet or global location where various jobs and builds are compared in DPS?

I know what I'm asking is a bit nuts since there are too many variables e.g. SCs or not, weapon choices and more, but I was thinking in a controlled / limited way, or whatever the variables, at least a rough idea of how different jobs compare in damage.

Comparing different builds through various simulations has a lot of problems. Most simulations make assumptions which are often fine for trying to optimize your gear for a particular weapon but suddenly you are comparing apples and oranges when you look at another if you aren't careful.

For example enemies lists are usually small and resist rates are either ignored or manually imputted. So comparing physical ws with hybrid or elemental comes with asterisks.

Another common problem is some of the wierder weapons don't always have great models. Certain job abilities aren't always modeled very well either.

Then there are defensive considerations that effect your damage like if you are resisting status ailments or not.

Not all job abilities are best to use on cool down for every build.

And this is all just dealing with comparing builds within a single job. Trying to compare accross all jobs and situations in a useful way is insane.

you'd have to automate the entire party to eliminate response times and lag etc.

can do this now with existing tools, but even so it wouldn't be super useful unless you just wanted very basic tiering.

good news is that it really doesn't matter. v25 fights are probably the only content in the game where dps checks matter, and those already have well-established meta jobs.

Ty, going a bit off topic here to ask but is there a place where I can find the meta teams people use for the V25s? Was always curious.

Sometimes you can find good information in the discussion tab on various pages on the bg wiki

Like htbf and the oddessy nms

There are also various threads that you can comb through on this forum

Excited for the day when I can feed an AI a 1000 page thread and read some highlights of ***posting
