So you're telling me..

There's someone in this thread that's trying to use top adps logs as any sort of statement on job balance and you're on this guy's ass?

ADPS only measures skill within a job when compared within a job. It has nothing to do with balance. It should never be brought up in a balance discussion.

What matters is ability-to-clear. Not an ability to top meters (that's player driven not game-driven), not the 99th percentile, but the output of players across a spectrum of skill levels so they can clear.

'But but but week one savage clears'

They don't balance around week one savage clears either. They balance around a longer timeline for savage clears.

SE literally does not give a shit about orange parsing or parsing. They care about clears.

That is not true. They all matter. rDPS isn’t the end all. It’s just what people think matters most because it’s what ff logs uses to rank. Now, what SE uses to balance I have no idea.
