One half of your argument is that public parsers will turn more people into jerks, and increase the rate at which people are harassed in content by their mere presence. And the quote listed above is...

I wish it was a dying breed. Give me foes plz.

Sounds like you need to switch classes. Balance changes things and you can either adapt or go whine on the forums. BLM and SMN are in good places in respect to each other, but Savage favors BLM on...

The real problem with parsers is that too many people don't have them and too many people are just running around screaming that 'the sky is falling' on the off chance that someone may one day...

1. I find that you need to delay the use of the pot a little... since the oGCD time you have available to pot is like ~2 seconds, you should wait like ~1 second before using it, I find that generally...

I've been using Leroy's opener (from Elysium) for movement reasons.

Sharpcast, Quelling, F1, (start moving now), Enochian, F3P, Ley Lines, Raging, F4, Potion, F1, F4, F4, F4

This is where it...

It is for the UI phase... Sharpcast, Eno, F3, F1, F4, F4, F3P, F4, F4, B3. So it does start with F3, but that is part of the UI phase, the rotation was for the AF phase.

I'm leveling up BLM to use for A4S instead of SMN. I've got a good number of 210 pieces (full right side, half left side or so) and some gobtwines waiting to be used.

Would I be better off...

Hello Fellow SMNs,

I have an A4S progression issue, and I know some of you are there with me. When adds spawn, I bane from the leg to the Straf doll, then Tri-D/Painflare/Fester my add and have...

So I guess this is our BiS now? http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/RHQV

It is 540, more or less. I'm running it with 538, and I might get 1 miss every 4 or 5 pulls.

I'll write a new one once the stat weights are close to solidified.

He sent me a message on reddit with a number of questions, and I felt it would be easier just to start up a twitch stream and answer his questions through the game in real time. After we were done, I...

Oh, I thought someone said that wasn't how it worked. Alright, nevermind, silly question then. Thanks. :p

So pet damage scales with speed like DoTs do?

It's actually really easy to simulate by normalizing how often procs occur. Still, those numbers show that the average SS over time you gain from the crit procs is still nothing compared to what you...

With ~715 SS, I've noticed that I can fit an extra GCD comfortably inside DWT, where I could not back when I had 5xx SS. For the same MP, that's an extra 40 potency in every DWT.

Fairly minor...

Nope, which is why that opener is a DPS loss, unless it causes the dot timers to line up better with phase jumps.

The simple reality is that if the game doesn't back up the numbers, then you need to look at the numbers. The odds of there being human error involved are just as likely in a mathematical analysis as...

This discounts the reality that there may be minor differences in execution between parses. I can do 10 different parses with the exact same opener and routine and come up with 10 different results,...

Did you just try to explain why it is more accurate to just 'go with your gut' rather than do analytical analysis of something? I'm sure a lot of people still think that Crit > SS, because that's how...

So you give some anecdotal evidence about crit improving damage. Yes, of course it does. I'm sure if you made some effort, you could probably provide some anecdotal evidence for a couple hundred...

How can you say there is no way SS will be better than Crit? What, you think it is literally impossible that SE would give it a higher weight? Doesn't that seem a bit arrogant?

SS effectively has...

Some people don't like to think when playing games, or posting on the forum, apparently.

Here's your main issue: You're calling for changes on how a class plays because you find that you cannot deal with the interruptions to your DPS that come in current raiding content. Many end game...
