People advertising they're running Parsers

[Shurrikhan]

are you actually saying that mitigation skills outside of tank personal cd's are useless?

If they don't allow for a single heal less in a given fight, yes. Quite literally so.

"Any worthwhile defensive would also have an indirect impact on rDPS" is not a complex concept. But ad hominem away, I guess?

Ok kids, this is exactly what you DON'T want to do...

This is why I am okay with not being allowed to bring up parses in game.

There's actually a line of text you can place in your official FFXIV Lodestone profile that will prevent you from showing up on FFLogs. I've done it. It is no one's damn business what I do.

I am willing to vouch for the ideas Shurrikhan is putting forward.

Shaving a single regen-tics worth of damage off of a raid-wide is pointless the vast majority of the time.

Either the mitigation is necessary to your survival, or it's used to save on resource expenditure elsewhere (Healer GCDs being a notable one). If it isn't doing either of those things in a way that creates a net rDPS gain over taking another job, it can be argued that it's not valuable.

So you are dismissing OUT OF HAND the raid utility that support classes bring to the table?
