I'd argue that hitting enrage means you're either not doing the mechanics correctly or playing your class incorrectly. If all the other players in the parse are doing well, and you're the one with poor dps in that situation? That is on you. When I say parse, I also don't mean your damage. I mean the entire metric in the fight. Avoidable damage smacked by, APM, the whole shibbang.


As for the virtue of parsing: There are many factors in a parse that are useful to a fight, and, to be honest, pure damage is only the third or fourth thing I look at. Content below EX has no place in parsing, but you don't really need to look at a chart to see who is performing poorly in those fights as it is both obvious and inconsequential to people getting through the content.

Seems like no one is having this issue nearly as often as OP claims to be.
I think opening threads about this is their hobby...
I was thinking the exact same thing. Or perhaps OP jumped into a farm party and got asked why they couldn't hang? That seems to be the key root of a lot of these threads
