Here are the forbidden tomes. Open at your own risk.Interesting. Weirdly enough no guide I found on BLM even mentioned those concepts. Not going too dismiss claims though since it is obvious to me that when it comes to FFXIV you are my senior. And I picked it because for whatever reason that's the job I chose to display on my profile and the one I enjoy quite a bit.
wait is this actually controversial? the game is basically only about DPS at this point because tanking and healing have become incredibly simple. what metric are you supposed to measure as a tank player if not dps? mitigations per second? shirk/provoke per second? the focus on dps is not a result of toxicity in the game, it's a result of fight design, at least that's my understanding. i cannot see a good reason to limit accessibility of information to 3rd party software or opening up damage logs and doing the math manually.
Yea there are people who take fflogs far too seriously despite not being impactable by it. Nobody cares about your logs if you dont even do extreme. Most people dont even care about your logs if you are PFing extreme and savage as proven by the amount of consistent grey parsers that make it through. I do find it silly however is that fflogs lists normal raids, alliance raids and expert dungeons. For what reason do we have those? Who asked?Ah, but I can also look at you on the Lodestone and see that you don't have any Savage achievements.
Edit: Or any recent Extremes, for that matter. What's the point of being all up in arms about logging when you're not doing anything that's going to be logged in the first place?
You will be surprised, but some people who don't want to do hard content are too interested in their performance.Yea there are people who take fflogs far too seriously despite not being impactable by it.

I'll keep those in mind for the future since as for now It's painfully obvious to me that I lack the set of knowledge and skills this guide requires. As well as the fact that the author specifically states that "Standard rotation and knowledge are enough to play BLM at high level".Here are the forbidden tomes. Open at your own risk.
I am surprised that people like that dont only want to look at their own performance but also want to compare it to others. This will sound super gatekeepy and I mean it not exactly super seriously but where are the target dummy logs?
What does make it "gatekeepy"? Knowing that you're doing good or still need to work on things?
