FF14ARRCalc, score gear and raid.

I'm really sorry to people who followed the project.

Cool idea brah. This community rocks

I noticed a couple things with it that you might want to look at.

- The base values of every stat are not actually factored into damage the same way stats added by gear do. I mean that the first 341 points of Crit Rate and Skill Speed don't count, and neither do the first 202 points of Determination. Furthermore, it's very possible that your base Main Stat doesn't count either. We can compensate for this by not putting those particular numbers into the application, but you might want to check for overallocation of stats and subtract them by the proper amounts during the calculation.

- Weights on gear are not static. Stat weights vary based on how much of the other stats you currently possess. This means that every unique set of gear has its own set of stat weights. In order to properly "score" things, you need to use damage formulas instead of the static weights Dervy and Purostrider calculated.

This is a great idea, and it can be incredibly helpful if we can get accurate gear checking for every class.

i have to be that guy right?

3rd party software is against the TOS and by posting this you are risking your account.

now that that is out of the way, it looks useful for a comparison between bis items and the items you have equipped but what stops people from just using FFXIVDB or that new one garlean data which lets you make quick and easy lists.

@Donjo, you are right and I'm aware of this. I need to improve it. Actually that's work but not that accurate.

@Draco, damned, are you sure that is really a problem? I mean, my application is like pen and paper but on computer. You hit the boss, miss? not miss? try again and find the right number. Same for stat.
And when you already know every cap. Just check it.
If a mod could be nice enough to just warning me if I break the rules ... I'll instantly and definitly stop the development.

Edit: Rules are imprecise ... I don't really use materials from the game or datas. Except what everyone can see ig. I need to check that.
Thanks to make me read the rules again. You had the be that guy yep. I like my account.

It's sad they tell us (London fanfest) that part of an MMO is for the communitie to find out stat weights which is partly true.

At the moment it's like buying an IKEA closet but you're not allowed to use any tools to assemble it. You know what to do, you just can't.

This is not acceptable. This is why 9 out of 10 streams show their parser. They don't care since some things belong in an MMO.

its a major grey area, Yoshi-p has said he knows parsers and 3rd party apps that do what you say yours do, are apart of any MMO, but they don't want it in the game due to people abusing it,

but the rules they have are rather vague on it, since it mentions reading or editing files, but some parsers read, the battle log, another reason they don't want any 3rd party apps is mostly because of users like me, who are on ps4 who cannot use those softweres,

You are being a hall monitor over something that is no more of a 3rd party app than using ms calculator to add up the cost of crafting materials and accomplishing nothing but disencouraging someone from contributing to the community with something they spent a lot of time on.

I hope you are happy.

why use a program when u can create a web that does the same thing ? (avoiding 3rd party software issues)

Decent webhosts are not free and using your own computer to host it exposes it to the public and requires uptime.
