No, single target. idk how to measure collective dps on dummies.

You add the DPS you did on the 3 dummies. So what exactly is the point of doing tests with 3 dummies if you don't even know how to measure your DPS afterwards? You do know it doesn't alter anything in terms of single target damage, right?

do a 6m dummy parse plz 3m are worthless
Exactly... Burst dps doesn't say a lot in trials. You have a ~430 difference between regen and drain per second, so that dps is not at all sustainable. Same with other parses presented On foundry and here... That's what I like about @Gilliamtherogue 's parses, he does them on a centurion to show how much you can really get.
If you divide 37000/430, you will be out of stamina after ~86 seconds. People have to start showing the sustainable dps they get...

I didn't, stop jumping to conclusions. I only test on 1 dummt at a time. You're getting ahead of yourself here.

Shouldn't it be just the opposite, precise main and infused off? Weapon abilities proc weapon enchants only from main hand weapon but glyph of weapon damage is an exception and isn't procable by weapon abilities anyways. Why not to put poison enchant to main to ensure maximum dps whilst the uptime on weapon damage will be the same?
Thanks for answers.

Infused only works on the main-hand. You're supposed to put the Poison enchant on the Infused main-hand weapon too. The weapon damage enchant is on the off hand and its still boosted by Infused. Also Infused buffs the enchant on your vMA bow, which is the real reason why its so strong. My poison glyph does over 3k DPS by itself, and I still have 60%+ uptime on Berserker, and my Endless Hail does absolutely insane damage (almost 10k DPS) with this setup.

Well isn't the point of a fight and a resource bar to have 0 resources left when you're done fighting? I don't see the point of having a full stamina bar at the end of the fight, so of course I'm going to Drain every single bit of that green *** by the end of a boss fight or a dummy fight.
And like I said in a previous post already, if you want to go ahead and do those 20 tests per each setup that I listed (there were 21 options in total with different traits and mundus) while keeping the other factors (buffs uptimes, number of heavy attacks, etc.) at the exact same values on each parse (otherwise the parses are worthless), please feel free to do so, I'm not going to be bothered to do something like that, especially since the verdict will be the same as on a 3mil dummy. The only difference between the 20 parses I did with each setup (I've done 7 setups in total) is the crit chance, buff uptimes are literally the same. What's the other way of normalizing crits outside of just making a fight longer? You got it: doing several tests. And you can't say that in those 47k and 48k parses the crits were insanely lucky (because they weren't).
And frankly... I don't see how a Centurion is more exact than a 3mil dummy (because its not in the slightest). You're never going to be DPSing for over 10 minutes straight by yourself in a trial. So you may like long parses that show that you can sustain for 11 bloody minutes, but then your rotation isn't the same as your trial rotation. Most fights last 2-5 minutes and during that time you will have group support for your sustain (aka Master Resto, Shards and Orbs). A 6mil dummy fight is basically the same duration as some boss fights, and you expect for the dummy to be an accurate representation of your sustain on a boss fight of the same duration? Well, its not. Because if you do the same rotation as you do on the dummy on a boss, you're going to have too much unused stamina, which is basically wasted DPS.
So your Centurion parses are not a good indicator of your DPS at all, it just means you know how to press your Right Trigger or Left Mouse Button while spamming your skill buttons one by one (because that's all your do for 10 minutes so you must be good at that).
My point is: you're not going to be sustaining a trial boss on your own, you're going to have support and your goal at the end of the boss fight is to have 0 stamina in that green bar anyway.
So please, stop with the "3mil parses are worthless" because that is entirely false. 1 3mil dummy parse may not say much. The average of 20 3mil dummy parses is miles more accurate than 1 Centurion parse or 1 6mil dummy parse for comparing setups.
If you're not happy with my way of testing things, do your own testing and don't tell me how to test ***, I know what I'm doing.
/out
lol
Totally agreed.
I don't see the point of Gilliam's centurion tests at all. They don't reflect real rotations and they don't give an accurate representation of DPS because of the huge amount of heavy attacking needed to sustain (which messes with uptime on all sorts of things, changes proc rates, etc.).
Now, if someone wants to say that pulling a full raid group together and beating on the big Centurion is a good test: I'll agree with that (or at least, it's an accurate reflection of DPS for static fights like Ra Kotu or the Foundation Stone Atronach). But obviously that's a huge burden to test.
On both my magblade and my stamblade, my 3m dummy rotation is almost identical to my big Centurion rotation with a full raid group (aside from time spent hitting synergies).

He states that in his streams that it's not a dps test and uses the longer parses to compare gear setups over a longer duration to truer results of the gear/stats procs and such which is valuable information.

Just tested it and no. Infused affects only enchant on it's exact weapon. If you have infused on main hand, only enchant on the main hand is affected.
30% stronger weapon damage enchant with possible 100% uptime is too good to pass and I fear that 4,5% crit won't make up for that. But based on your suggestion with poison enchant I might go with double infused then.

..no? No it's not. 6m is perfectly adequate. Assume you have 8dps in a trial. let's assume all thr dps did equal damage to the boss. 6m damage. That would be a 46m hp boss. Raid bosses are usually 20-60m hp in veteran trials.
Also, dps dummies aren't the end all, be all analytical instruments of perfection. 3 and 6m dummies are excellent for a general idea. A 20k differential of dps is so far outside the scope of 'general idea' that you have to be intellectually unstable to question a glaring difference.
Regardless as to wether or not you take me seriously is irrelevent. So you can solo buff 48k with a non raid viable build. i hit 51k last patch with a non raid viable build. Both are impressive numbers that don't mean *** ***.
When you compare a dummy *** parse to a parse designed to maximize dps with raid buffs the difference is glaring. And if you cannot see it, frankly, you're a half baked potato.

My build and my rotation are raid viable. Same gear, same skills, same CP, same food, same pots, same costume, same colors. And I don't do dummy tests for e-peen contests on the forums, in this case I did them to compare mundus stones and traits, and 48k on a stamblade isn't about saying how much better stamblades are vs any other class, its about comparing gear/trait/mundus/CP setups on the same class. Its an impressive number sure, but who cares about impressive numbers on the dummy? I care about my parses in raids and a dummy doesn't show me that at all (it doesn't even give an idea).
There's a 50mil centurion for testing raid buffed DPS with a whole group, which provides a slightly longer fight than 1 min 20 seconds, but even this isn't giving you a general idea of your DPS in a raid. The Assembly General on hard mode has over 100 mil health by the way. And if you really think that you're pulling 72k on hard mode Rakkhat or the Assembly Commitee, then you're very far from the truth. But you already knew that, right?
A dummy will never be able to give you an accurate idea of your DPS in a raid, because the environment is too different in the two cases. In a raid, no matter how static a fight may be, there's always incoming damage causing you to block/dodge/break free, there's always more lag and less FPS and there's always some mechanics no matter how static the fight is. The only thing dummies are good for is testing one setup vs another on the same class.They give you a general idea of how much DPS you would do in a perfect environment.
And parses don't "magically fade into obscurity" just because you can self buff Minor Berserk and Major Fracture.

It would be the BiS setup if they don't touch TFS. That said, I have a strong feeling TFS will be of of the 9 sets getting 'balanced' on Monday. I think sharp weapons may still be relevant (at least for stam players) and ultimately you will need to go sharp + kraghs if you don't want to pick up the lover mundus.
Guess we will see on Monday...
