Extremely disappointed in my Dragoon after attempting T4

I don't even melee, but this thread was a very interesting read.

The OP seemed to be beside himself with pride in his own skills, but came to learn a bit of humility and approached a fellow player to better himself.

Color me impressed.

thanks for the reply on my FFXIV APP issue... thought it was a bug for some reason lol, it was annoying for sure tho.

I know. I didn't want to spoil the beautiful moment by bumping the thread and causing some person to come in here and start insulting him... but now that other people have commented, I have to agree. I'm so amazed that the OP was actually able to learn something and everyone walked away happy. +1 for the internet.

Edit: read the whole post. OP realization

Parsers, the reason a lot of us SMN are misunderstood...

Hell I just want something accurate so that I can more easily see where I need improvement, wouldn't mind DoT damage showing up in battle log text either mind you, we have a filter system anyway.

Melee DD was bad designed that's why they'll buff ,it's not a wrong rotation in any case. Remove piercing dmg from BRD and give him only buffs/sonatas/requiems that increase the pierce,slash,elements dmg and make bosses with more information in his bar like a libra ability.

Using others jobs should be viable if bosses had some invulnerability like arrow resist in another turn of coil but ppl came to forum to cry

One thing to keep in mind is the 27-hit rotation is not always optimal. Some of the opponents in T4 (ie pretty much anything aside from the dreadnaughts) will go down fairly quickly and in cases like that, you want a simpler rotation that buffs you and gets you to your big finisher (full thrust) quickly without those silly DoTs that wouldnt even be up long enough to matter

I still just wanna know whether all these dps numbers are BS.


Those Parsers don't seem to be even remotely accurate.

Although I have very little knowledge of the numbers, so could be entirely wrong.

the fact that everyone is reporting pretty widely varying numbers is a bit odd, especially considering DRG rotations are pretty straightforward, but i guess gear differences? i still have a hard time believing that accurate parses are happening in this game
