    Currently the Savage encounters feel like they're catering 100% to FFLogs parsers who chase efficiency over all else.

    Fights where you can safely and smoothly get 100% melee uptime, even in mechanics such as Act 2, when they explicitly designed the AoEs to just so give the player a narrow cone wherein they can be max melee from the boss... feels to me to be catering towards the FFLogs parsers.

    Stormblood raid design forced enough downtime that people actually cared much less about parsing then because you would need to adjust a LOT of strats to get that uptime. Right now on P4S the only thing you do different is Act 2 for uptime.

    It's best for both worlds back then (minus the LB cheese IMO) because parsing actually felt like another difficulty mode where you intentionally use janky strats or eat more damage to get higher numbers. And because it's not quite possible to get high numbers (99+) consistently during a weekly with downtime strats and without the proper comp back then parsing wasn't such a huge deal.
