Samurai needs damage buffs

I do not really want to keep arguing in this thread but i feel like, with the influx of new players. Looking around ffxiv forums and seeing things like that is what will make them mis-informed and then perform bad on raids.

Fflogs what shows on your best hist. Is compared to all time during that patch cycle. Not the parses only page. The only two weeks part is only shown in the uploaded log on the "Damage Done" page. We NEVER look at those.

We never look at parses when someone is not BiS. No one will care about it if you are not BiS yet. Just because someone got a 99 does NOT mean we got it while bad players uploaded logs only, because it is compared to all time and it changes every day at 00:00 UTC. That is called historical. If someone has a 99, regardless if someone continues to optimize and gets a better parse. The person still performed well. Because if it is an early 99, it means they cleared early, which has a lot more value than those grinding for 99 for months. Sfia is a world prog player, his 99 is an 81 by today's measure. Does that mean that Sfia is bad? NO it does not.

About fast GCD slow GCD? What the f is that logic even? That is like saying, everyone should build more speed to get more damage under raid buffs?????? Every single person out there would build speed if that was the case.

We fit our hardest hitting skills under raid buffs. Not as many as possible. To boost the raid damage.

You are speaking about not farming logs but you are talking about optimization??? Optimization is done through farming multiple logs and looking at what works best around the team. e.g Ninja delays Trick attack to catch raid buffs after DD on E12s

About crit RNG. Samurai is notorious for having to rely on Crit Rng to get the highest possible log. This is true up to a certain extent. But crit rng mostly varies on a +10 scale. At worst you could have a 99 log become a 90 at a non existent crit to a high end crit. At average you will be getting high logs regardless of crit rng because that is how statistics work. You don't jump from grey to 99 with crit rng.

Parses do not matter as much yes. But when we are talking optimization. We are talking improvement. And this is what FFlogs is used for. And that is the principal reason why i stop parsing after the first two month of a raid tier since i clear week 1 / 2 of the raid tier coming out. I dont grind 400 + kills like those who are still doing.
But like, how are you ever going to improve in the game without parsing or someone parse a run for you?

If someone wants to attempt week 1 prog. They need to have high consistency on both mechs and damage. Because week 1 clear is the hardest dps check in this game. It is a process of improvement. I did not jump to being a week 1/2 player. I was grey, i parsed to improve. Using the logic that parsing means nothing just leads to people never improving.
Competing on FFlogs for personal ranking is what is unecessary.

I don't actively parse anymore, i help players clear everyday since i came back 2 weeks ago. I am getting 98 on NIN and SAM on E12s while helping players clear?? So by your logic i should have been a mediocre player because i am not actually parsing? I don't think if this is the right place to even post my videos on it. It is on my YT, you can go check those out. Back up your words when you want to make a statement.

You said you had a 98 on E12s but had to LB? Well, LB does not break your parses from 98 to green. You would at most be a 95 instead. But yours shows a 28 ? and your gear is i530? I helped a group clear today itself and i had to LB3, my NIN is an 86 with LB + damage downs on e10s. By your logic i should have been green too ? or grey?
You also said you got 94 on Levi Unreal, but the logs are not even there??????

Telling things like SMN is bad for MNK because it has 2.5s gcd is just dumb because it is not the GCD speed that matters. It is the rotation that bursts every 90 seconds.
