Agreed, and the biggest thing a lot of players dont understand is that a parser isnt going to help much for the vast majority of XIV's content. Parsing is mostly an FFLogs side game.

XIV is mostly about mechanics, the vast majority of wipes are due to people eating mechanics and most raids in XIV dont have DPS checks or phase skips that are difficult to clear. You can probably count on one hand the number of battles that have tight DPS checks.

From my experience on then current savage content, mechanics count more in the long run than tight dps checks. You cant clear a dps check without the party doing the dance first and foremost with little to no error. Its a heck a lot harder for groups to fully understand their part in that dance and memorizing mechanics without dying. Once thats figured out, the dps checks usually always clearable.

This is of course saying as the majority rather than the absolute.

Thats kinda what Im getting at. I know there are some nasty dps checks out there, but for most content you just need to know how your job works and learn the mechanics and jobs a good'un.
