I just got out of Garuda HM and then comes this player telling me that I don't have the equipment and that my DPS is low. That they were using an app to see the DPS ??
If they are going to make players leave the fight on duty finder, then they should not use the duty finder at all.
If my equipment is low, then duty finder should have a gear check and add gear rating too like WoW then and then I will know that I couldn't queue for that fight!
Requirements
Party size: Eight
Class: Disciples of WAR or Magic
Level: 50
Minimum equipment: Darklight set???????????
DPS meters already?

If you have WP/AK gear at least, ignore them. If you have slots with level 15 jewelry and level 30 belt, level 40 weapon and crap like that, then you should know you are undergeared.
They will be adding gear reqs to DF soon -

didn't you get the memo, 2.1 = gear score check to queue in duty finder. will fix these issues, i.e. you wont be queuing if your not equipped to the standard/minimum level that is needed.
And yes pasers have been out since beta, but I am not sure how accurate they are currently, hear very and horribly wrong depending who you talk to. -

I personally wish there was a parser that actually worked atm. -_- that ff14 app one just crashes whenever you try to start it

09-21-2013, 12:26 PMSlamboLast I heard they were still not pulling some data (DoTs) so yeah, they are probably all wrong but it gives the people using them an idea of where they sit. I personally never use them since I'm healing.Quote:

FFXIV parsers have been around about 1 month after release of 1.0, so for almost 3 years.

This reminds me of the time I argued with a full AF pld at titan, he had 4.5k hp and I just said it was insulting that he queued for titan because he's pretty much a one shot and it'd be annoying to heal him through stomps after mountain busters. Back to garuda, she has no real requirements like "DL only" titan doesn't even need DL for dps or healers, honestly, having a garuda weapon and some ok gear is all you really need.
I've had a group turn me down for titan because I didn't have full DL then I went and beat titan with another group as the top dps, it honestly isn't a huge factor if you have 6 more dex, str or 12 more determination etc. -

Weapon is what matters for dps. They're right if don't have a ilevel55 or higher weapon.

09-21-2013, 01:43 PMJynxiiYes, your gear is definitely too low. You are entering one of the (essentially) last fights in the game with gear that wouldn't get you through AK unless the other DPS was exceptionally kitted out and had relic+1. Fair enough wanting a system to tell you you are under geared, but you should be able to evaluate your own gear against the stage of content to establish if you should be queuing or not. Another analogy I like is, "If everyone had the same gear as you, would the run be successful?" If the answer is no, you have more gearing up to do.Quote:

In your current state, I'd recommend starting the CM grind a lot of us have already done, or are currently in the process of doing, and at least replace your accessories, or even start doing Wanderer's Palace. As a (perhaps overcautious) rule of thumb, if you can't clear AK, you probably shouldn't be in HM Garuda. -

Yeah, you're not contributing much of anything with what you got on. Jynxii pretty much nailed it in her post otherwise.
