Please add damage meters, Yoshi P.

hi, if i may, i have some feedback

your party isn't holding you back, in your best p8sp2 clear you didn't use verraise at all and your rdps contribution given from embolden is only ~200 less than in a rank 1 log - its not the best, but its still serviceable to hit orange at least

your issues are:
a) barely 95% gcd uptime, this is the main contributor
b) another big contributor is the loss of a manafication usage as you're not rushing it (using it on cooldown, including in downtime). aligning it with raid buffs sounds like a good idea on paper, but its causing you to lose a melee combo over the course of the fight, which is a much bigger loss than you'll gain by having perfect buff windows
c) perfect buff windows leads me into the next point - your buff windows should contain a full combo and a set of finishers (verflare/holy+scorch+resolution) if you're aligning manafication with embolden. you didn't achieve this once, with the closest attempt being your 4:50 window (natural alignment 2) where you used embolden before the start of your first combo and managed to fit a verholy and a verflare in it
d) lazy drift of contre sixte causing a lost usage in the fight (mainly caused by not getting it on cd before high concept 1)
e) same as above with corps-a-corps and engagement but this is a bit more understandable - you'd have to change your opener to be able to get them off before high concept 1 (i'd advocate for double weaving pot with fleche or contre sixte in your opener or simply moving the potion to 2:40 after high concept 1 to accommodate this)

feel free to look up my character if you feel like you need to verify the credibility of my advice, and i'm happy to answer followup questions should you have them

glhf!

In p6s out of his 12 clears, only 5 of them were clean. The other 7 clears he had 6 clears with damage downs and of those 6, 4 of them had one or more deaths. The one clear of those 7 he didn't have a damage down he had two deaths.

And of course when he gets called out on it, he posts a comment like the below quote.

Personally, I don't have a problem with people messing up and I hate using meters/logs in such a manner, but I love the irony of people like FireMage who advocate for meters so they can "kick out the bads" cuz he thinks he's a "high end" player and its never his fault when things go wrong, but the logs shows how inconsistent he is and by his own standards people would be kicking him out lol.

Again, know how to play, at a very high end in fact. Again, not the subject of this topic. Again, address the actual issue

This specifically is false. His logs are already out in the open. If this thing would happen to the extent you and many in this thread claim when an official parser was added then firemage would have already been kicked.

FFLOGS is a 3rd party site that most PF's don't pay attention to. The story changes completely when all that information is displayed in game. Also, the statement is by "his standards" meaning if we went by his ridiculous frame of mind that having a meter in game means he can just "kick out all the bads" then by his own logic people would be doing it to him. My entire point was don't act like some big shot, when in reality you're just average, which is FINE btw. Most people that do end game are very much just average or slightly above it, but the last thing we need is ridiculous tools built in game creating obnoxious circle jerks of average players blaming each other over nonsense.

Why are you bringing up PFs? It appears firemage is part of a static (which you are surely aware of). Statics already look at logs all the time during recruitment. And still he hasnt been kicked. Not that PFs dont look at logs, it's perfectly within their power to look at someone's logs and kick them if they choose to and many people do. It's not even effort. It's just not a lot of PFs care.

Earlier in this thread you've also claimed that he was carried but have failed to provide proof for that claim.

[Rolder50]

I think I've posted about this already, but they don't even need to add their own damage meter. Just make it not a bannable offense to use the existing ones and they're golden. Wouldn't even take any developer effort in that case. Of course, you would still ban people who use this data to be jerks.

He was carried...literally look at what I posted with his p6s stuff lol. More than half his clears had damage downs and multiple deaths.

a good ol' case of "check the logs" to call out on peoples bs.

You clearly dont understand what it means to be carried. For someone to be carried, there also needs to be someone to carry them. If everyone plays at the same level within the same group, nobody is getting carried. You dont need to prove someone is making mistakes or playing badly, you need to prove that everyone else is playing vastly better. Try again.

Making the same mistakes over and over and being a general burden = being carried.

That is incorrect. You can not be carried without someone there to carry you.
