Parser / Dps Meter!

[Varizen]

Ahh... I remember Chilicheese... On KillingIfrit we had the collection of legendary Warrior items: The Life Belt Gloves, Tungi Boots, Tungi Sushi, Tungi Ridill... Ahh good times. (Back in the day everyone thought the Tungi had a hidden Double Attack enhancment.)

(In reference to the Life Belt comment)

You're forgetting Tungi Sushi, the secret recipe.

While looking at a mob with a Sayin-esque scouter is retarded.


SE also needs to understand this is a video game, and the least they could do is properly label the strength and effects of equipment.

They need to tone down the esoteric. . ness.

Prime example are resist pieces of gear, and the new +# system.

Why? This is a RPG and not a datasheet.

Table top people who go on about DPS calculations and the such get kicked out of the games.
Point being you should playing a game.
Rule mongering delve monkies need not aply. lol

There's been a Scan ability in every FF since III only XI's version is mostly useless since it checks enmity...

To many people the meta game is just as fun. That's why they go to message boards and talk about this sort of thing.

We already know people already made their own parsers so you could just use one of those, that measure damage done, dps and many other things.

Problem is without one in game people everyone can't measure their performance since its not available to everyone, only to people who got their own parser program. If I see 2 monks one has all the base af3 pieces while the other has all the +2. The one with the +2 gear will outperform the one with the base gear but then there is no way to tell, the difference between the two. You can eyeball the chat log but that just isn't good enough.

There are a bunch of small things you can do to improve dps without a parser there is no way to tell or test what works better and what doesn't.

It would be more convenient to have one in the game, that you can link the logs to party chat so everyone can see.

When you can't eyeball the difference then there is no real difference or you'r just blind.
