In competition with myself: a request for PERSONAL parsers

[Sebazy]

I know, that was kind of my point. Kind of like how a personal parser is just as useless.

In your eyes perhaps.

Would a group wide parser be more useful to the right people? Most likely yes. Case in point, I linked a screenshot of a BLM doing 165 DPS in Rabanastre in another thread, how long do you think she would have lasted if people had have been able to clearly see that. Whilst I suggested that she simply shouldn't have been there in the first place, nobody would have deserved the almost inevitable butchering she would likely have received if her performance was there for all to see.

As such, a personal parser is the best compromise especially given the casual nature of this game for the most part.

Is it useless? Absolutely not, with a legitimate feature in the game, people will be more likely to discuss and compare numbers with friends, more people will potentially overhear that and get rough reference points from there.

It's not a feature to turn everyone into world first progression raiders, rather it's there to help give people something by which to gauge themselves if and when they decide to take some interest in that. If it improves even 10% of the population, that's huge as far as the more casual endgame content goes and frankly, if it helps avoid a repeat of the BLM I saw earlier, that's even better as that wasn't good for anyone involved.

Find any stormblood A rank, relay it. do not join a party. As tank, do 100k damage to it. Find another one, relay and same thing no party, as dps do 100k damage to it. Compare your loot and results. This is called JOB BALANCING.

I'm not really sure what your point is here? Tanks have a much easier time with these due to being rewarded for agro. Voke followed by 100ks worth of damage in tank stance works wonders. This isn't any kind of secret that I'm aware of?
