I want a damage meter!

[Dieworc]

I understand how useful a DPS meter is but man do i not want to relive my WoW days of people screaming in chat to kick a player and linking the DPS meter after the first trash pull of a normal dungeon. The metric for whats good or bad DPS in the mind of the general community is always screwed up and it leads to a lot of toxicity.

Im much happier with the current "dont ask dont tell" approach. If your playing on ps4 i guess you're out of luck. you could always group with someone on pc with a parse and have them measure for you.

Make it personal only, so you can never see anyone else's performance. Solo, you get your actual DPS/HPS. In a group, you just get a position score ("You were 3rd in whatever for that last fight")
You won't know anyone else's results to hold against them, but you still get the data you need to see if you need to improve.
Perhaps allow a position score when at the dummies with someone else ungrouped as well, so you can see how your relative performance is.

I thought I was doing pretty good in the game until I installed a parser and saw I was coming up below the tanks and healers. That sent me off to the guides and dummies to learn now to improve.

Now, I just need to remember to run it again during my next Eden set to see if I have actually improved
Just tried it on Sepulture. Second to last, but then, I died five times (Tired, shouldn't have done it.)

But then, if you consistently come in near the bottom no matter what you try, you might just get discouraged and quit playing, which Square definitely doesn't want.
