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

[Bourne_Endeavor]

Oh please Bourne, you're the biggest defender on this forum far as I noticed. You always have something to say whenever something gets threatened, get off your high horse and your presumptions about other people (like you're doing now).

Absolutely. I am totes a SE apologist. It isn't as though I have criticised dungeon design, citing them brain dead simple, criticised Stormblood both in various story developments and how easy an overwhelming majority of the content is, criticised job balance and advocated heavily for parsers. All these things practically scream "White Knight."

No, you're just upset I disagree with your idea and you can't handle criticism otherwise you wouldn't resort to the SE apologist argument. Instead of taking personal shots, how about you answer my rebuttal? How is making Savage a harder 24M raid going to improve anything? It's simply a war of attrition. What you want is a game where you'll inevitably win even if it takes you forty minutes. Just make sure someone with a raise stays alive and the party can keep throwing themselves at the boss. Ironically, the job you play becomes functionally useless at a casual level. Why would anyone care to bring a DRG now that damage no longer matters? RDM and SMN can raise, tanks take substantially less damage and healers have better self sustain. Melee DPS serve no purpose anymore. Congratulations.

But go ahead, put me on ignore. Better than actually offering an argument.

Case in point, Tsukiyomi. If everyone is playing at an average level, not even god-tier, you won't even come close to enrage. Enrage timers only hurt people who aren't willing to do even the most basic of rotations and I honestly can't think of a single fight where they're tuned too highly against the average player.

Funny enough, a lot of raiders wondered if she even had an enrage timer. It's an extremely generous 12:30 or thereabouts. Considering her total HP, it will take you forever and a day to actually see it.
