DPS METER?

i keep hearing about players being top dps etc etc, but the question is, how do they know? As far as i know there is no scoreboard at the end of a raid so how do you know if you're doing enough dps? Sone people download a program on pc that measures this, but that seems like a waste of bandwidth given lag problems. I play on ps3 so such aps are not possible anyways

Unsubstantiated boasting or using a log parser.

Log parsers are currently misleading right now, anyway, since they cannot accurately parse DoT skills.

I have no idea what those are. Are they downloadable pc aps? Remember i play on ps3 so extra aps are not an option

It sounds like you already know the answer. They are using a 3rd party program. Not usable on ps3. It doesn't take up much resources, I play on a toaster and run It fine.

It's a PC program, yes. The parser runs in the background and scans the FFXIV chat log for battle data, then compiles the data for review.
