    We've already covered the fact that damage numbers alone don't tell the tale properly. Yes, perhaps it can help in determining a more effective burst rotation, but that's already entirely possible on a dummy, or through duels. Practical experience. Not numbers in a vacuum.

    Damage to PvE objectives - and let's not be coy - ice is circumvented by the ability to have it reset. I could let someone deal 99% of the damage it takes to break a small ice, then take them out, let it reset, then put in that last 1% and the ice is mine. All their damage amounts to 0, points wise.

    I'm really not trying to say damage meters aren't good, but I am saying they're largely unnecessary for becoming better, especially in a form of content that isn't static.

    You're really not listening to Gallus's point. We have a the Stone, Sky, Sea calculator already in the game for PvE content. That is also pure damage in a vaccuum! You aren't dodging AoE or performing mechanics. To successfully complete an Extreme version of a Trial you need to go through many attempts and gain practical experience in the fight you are in. You don't just succeed in SSS and get handed gear. The same arguments you are making as to why a PvP SSS wouldn't be helpful can be made about the PvE version we already have.

    Everything you are all saying is correct about what makes you successful in PvP - I said the same stuff on the first page. I'm taking the OP's side because it really doesn't make a difference to anyone who is already using dummies, ACT, duels, and good ol' fashioned experience through trial. But someone will benefit from it. Just because it's not you, doesn't make it a bad idea.

    And it was pretty despicable the personal attacks levied against the OP, for absolutely no reason.
