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

[UBERHAXED]

Could you optimize the DRG rotation for me please? It has two DoTs, one that is part of a combo, while maintaining both Heavy Thrust, Blood of the Dragon, and Disembowel in a four part combo. I feel like I should try to extend out my rotation some because if I alternate TT and ID combo I start to clip my DoTs resulting in a potency loss though it doesn't quite match up with my Heavy Thrust Timer. Oh, also when should I be using Blood for Blood?

All these questions can be answered with hard math, but it's certainly much more complicated to optimize that then you're putting forth in your extremely sarcastic and belligerent response. Just an FYI.




If we're wiping to Minotaur in Fractal because the DPS can't kill it fast enough and we run outta baits for the Minotaur to eat and we're only using them on each super swing, who do you think is responsible? That's a DPS check there in "low tier" content and probably can be seen if a group of minimum ilvl goes in and the DPS are of low skill.

Performance should be important to everyone in every branch of play. You may not need to be "playing like a God", but being able to see your numbers and how to improve those numbers should be part of any player's thought process. If we lack the tools to gauge performance readily available, how can we expect players to improve? That's some food for thought.

@Parser's are evil topic

Parsers are a tool for players to use. The good players will use it to improve their performance. The belligerent players will use it to inflate their ego and stroke their e-peen. Take note that the good player will still ask for advice and constructive criticism where applicable if they don't have access to a parser and the belligerent player will still be a jerk regardless if they have access to the hard numbers or not.

Even if you lack the ability to to simple arithmetic (that is, just add small integers, multiple small integers by smaller numbers) you don't need a calculator to realize how to get the best rotation. It's both intuitively obvious (followed with trivial proof by contradiction) that you can get the best rotation by using the highest potency moves, the largest percentage of the time. Once you are doing the best rotation (which does not require a parser, only brain), only stats will change your dps. The fact that you have trouble figuring out way to use as a dragoon is laudable. At best, parsers are only useful to determine what set of stats are best, not rotation. I'm pro-parser btw. I mean, theory crafters existed for the longest time, even when parsers didn't work remotely accurate such as at launch.
