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

[Vstarstruck]

Honestly, let's not pretend that raiders who already parse don't suffer from others who also parse, but they also have their heads up their butts as well. Plenty of people I know of, myself included, have gotten flack from people who DO parse and people that DON'T. There's no completely good nor evil side as both have various shades of people in them. I'm sub-average in Savage, but much better in EX trials and 24-raids mostly....the train on BLM is just rough for me for some reason.

The painting is easier and I've been trying to figure out how to squeeze more damage.

To maximize up times is to know the scripts down to the second. For example, if you know you are going to need to dodge and run (before the fact) you can, sharp cast fire, thunder, have swiftcast ready, triple cast (best would depend on the specific time stamp) just before you have to run. There is also Aether manipulation and between the lines, using these well can maximize uptime and I rarely see people using all these for these purposes, if worse comes to worst shoot a scathe, but doing that REALLY depends how much you have to go without casting. if it is only .5 sec you lose in up time for example it might not be worth it. Always observe what tools you can use to maximize uptime, and not as an emergency button. If you know the scripts that well you shouldn't need an emergency button use from say between the lines.
