Letter to MR Yoshi: Why parses system is destroying the ffxiv world.

[Rockette]

Any dps who does not make full use off their tool kit, including aggro reducing and damage reducing cd's while also performing optimal dps is not a good dps.

That's not a parse issue. That's a poor player.

Teammates who have the ability to manage aggro: Tanks, DPS, Healers
Teammates who have the ability to provide incoming damage cooldowns: Tanks, DPS, Healers
Teammates who have the ability to provide dps: Tanks, DPS, Healers

The game does not give you abilities as a "nice to have, looks pretty on hotbars" situation. They are there to use. Any savage or ultimate raider will tell you the same thing. There is zero excuse why these abilities get a pass in "casual" content.

I am not at that skill level yet but that advice got me up to normal current content. It might sound too easy for some of you but at least I know I can do what I have to in pugs/randoms.

If you join a pug/random without knowing mechanics or at least the basis of the fight at this point, you can't complain if people call you out.

Unless you join a full on learning party, you should know what you're doing. If parses are involved and you're found wanting in a prog/clear group, you should just not be in there unless you are ready. Anything else implies you're wasting 9+ other people's time and as 1 person you're sincerely not worth that <3
