    Those seem to be the major reasons for my lower parses. Beyond that, some weaving mistakes. Probaly a few instances I got disrupted from my rotation for one reason or another.

    Also it's knocking off points for me using LB3. The logs are severely knocking my performance down for a few issues that didn't affect how well I actually performed in the fight overall. I really just don't care. A few rotational issues aside, I didn't die, didn't fail any mechanics, and the boss died quickly. I don't have the energy to care about anything beyond that. I just don't care. I've never cared so little about anything in my entire life.
    You are more than welcome to this opinion, but it doesn't negate the fact that the reason you are parsing lower is because those who are using those abilities when you are not. This isn't a matter of the tool being wrong, it's a matter of playstyle.

    If someone could actually explain to me what they're useful for I would, until then, they're just button bloat to me. It's not just I think they're useless, it's the entire way SAM plays that makes me question why I would ever use those two abilities, they seem pointless in relation to the entire playstyle.

    To put it into perspective, I have a much better comprehension of Mahjong than I do the usage of those two abilities. They have eternally perplexed me since I picked up this job and not a single guide has ever made me understand why I would not just see them as button bloat.

    Yea meiko only gives you a midare after 3 gcds instead of 8, however could that be useful.
