You are strangely fixated for someone who admittedly does not raid.

I'm not really sure why you think people's ability to optimize in this game is somehow tied to parsing. This game has very simple rotations, so it's usually much easier to just figure out how long a segment of a fight is and then optimize in a spreadsheet environment. The usefulness of tools like XIVAnalaysis/FFLogs is pretty overblown. I'd much rather look at a VOD than use either of those tools to troubleshoot.


As for the premise of the thread:

Arcadion is very under-tuned, and I believe it would be trivial to clear the entire tier with intentionally desynchronized burst windows, even near the minimum itemlevel. Even players of lesser skill would be able to pull this off, as you have to realize that unskilled players are already desynchronizing their burst anyway.
