Please let PS4 parse our dps like pc

[Nedkel]

FFXIV community is obsessed with healers doing DPS because all fights are predictable where there is a lot of down time where heals simply are not needed. SE says they want healers to be more heal focused but then we are given dungeons where healers don't need to heal half the time. All the fights are scripted so once you learn the fight ,you know whats coming next with the most randomness being boss is either gonna go with a "X" style attack or a "+" style attack.

I found these dungeons pretty challenging when i was doing them for the first time.
Of course it will put you to sleep once you get 440 ilvl and more, its the matter of a stats and itemisation design and not dungeons themselves.
You cant have item level scaling and dungeons being a challenge for everyone. Make them harder and people will complain these are too hard because they cant go through them with under 440 ilvl.
Either that or they will sync everything, taking away any meanings of getting better gear.

Its the fundamental flaw of the mmorpgs we play, most of them.

@Nedkel: as someone that played WoW for 10 years w/o any DPS parser related issues (barring my poor Core2Duo being overtaxed by recount way back when ) I tend to disagree. Then again, my experience running random raids are severely limited, b/c I can't be arsed to progress the same boss with a different troupe each week, so take that into account.
I have never been dissed b/c of my performance in dungeons or LFR (barring herp-a-derping due to brainlag but you don't need a parser for that^^).

Normal mode / dungeons do not have enrages, so parsers are only there for funsies. people fussing over crappy DPS in freelot content are ... well... chuckle worthy. To put it politely.

I started WoW completely new in 2018 on december, got to 110 lvl something and tried to run dungeons with my monk tank.
I was being told my dps is "dip s***" that i am a noob and should play hello kitty online, also being kicked a lot of times, i has been kicked for being a "first timer" also. Tried playing DPS monk, it was the same. ASked why i didnt have a heirloom gear and etc.
Never again.

Yikes. Sorry to hear that.
I've never seen anybody get dissed over not having heirlooms in leveling content. ESP not a new player since they are intended for alt characters. O_O
Guess assholes will be assholes.

Ironically, the one AST I ran with … Also treated me as a Heal bot and never even used Earthly Star. Just spammed Malefic.

Hmm wouldn't work with me... because I am the heal bot. I enjoy pushing HPS more than DPS so usually my co healer gets to play Glare/Malefic/Broil bot.
Unless he is of a similar mindset... then we see how much overheal we can push and have a chuckle.

I'm with you on the fact that a parser won't spur impromptu improvement. They are there to pinpoint issues and encourage thought about possible solutions. That takes time and often a lot of practice / unlearning of bad habits etc. Nothing you can do within 2-3 tries of a boss.
