It says the dps check in A3S, you need about 650 for MT, 800 for OT, 1000 for DPS, 250 for SCH and 100 for WHM.

So I know my group is likely behind the wave, but feeling good about our progress in A1S. We've been past Faust for probably only like two hours (we don't have a lot of raid nights, Faust didn't take long to get down--after first night we left and got everyone Rav weapons then went back and got it in like 3 runs mainly working out healer DPS)

Last night it seemed communication was getting a lot better, especially with healing timing/dps (which is our largest issue because we have WHM/AST instead of WHM/SCH, luckily our AST is leveling SCH up now), seem to get mechanics down and making it to enrage. We just need to clean up and consistenticize (not a word I know) our DPS.

With that said, any tips for pre-split DPS? We are currently splitting at about 67-69% which I think is our biggest problem...

What my group ended up doing is tanking the original Oppressor where he starts and having the OT provoke him and drag him to the other side of the arena to give us a little extra time at the start to immediately jump on the boss rather than wait for me to pull it to the other side of the arena. We had WHM/SCH as our healer comp and the WHM pretty much solo healed up to the split after doing an initial opener of Aero 2 and 3.

Only other thing I can think to suggest is to make sure dps aren't dropping resin puddles or killing the initial adds in bad spots that can get in the way of their positionals.

A good spot in HQ to split at i'd say is about 59-61% honestly. Anything more would make it extremely hard to beat the enrage.

Our group starts the split at about 57-58% and he's down to like 55-56%ish by time the boss comes down to the other side and we keep all our DPS on the main Oppressor. The way we split the adds + missiles is we have the two melee (DRG/NIN) handle the Main boss's spider things while our ranged (BRD/SMN) grab the other's and we split from there.

As for how we handle the green goop.. we all stack on our SCH in the middle-ish then spread back to our missile targets. The one issue we've had (that I ran into) was when our OT got targeted by the green shit and dropped it right next to my missiles pot which left me with no where to go when I got targeted by the chargin lazur and I died, so We just corrected that.

We wiped last night about 4 times at around 1% or less, was really infuriating, but we knocked it out again. We beat it last week pretty good.. took longer this week than we wanted, but getting it down a second time is nice. Double healer drops though, so rip.
