Absolute frustration at not being able to see my own DPS (ps4)

Another problem you could solve by .... playing the game. Anything you do outside of what is considered a basic rotation inside a raid is intuitive and you only get better with practice, aka, playing... the game.

you have no idea what you are talking about. You are doing nothing but providing presumptuous opposition.

In alex savage, you have to discover your classes nuances. Since I play BLM, I will use it as an example. On a4s, it's very easy to lose enochain. A parser provides real time data on your dps. As a blm on a4s I can tell when I should use the ability enochain and when I should hold it to refresh for the next leg. I can see in live time which choice is the best, even if it only netted me a 25 dps gain. A choice like that is NOT intuitive. You need to see dps in real time to discover some of those nuances, not just the average dps over a whole fight.

No amount of intuition will yield that kind of data. Now, let me check your character real fast... Yup, just as I thought, opposition crafted on the foundation of assumptions made by you despite not having experience in the current fights where parsers are needed.
