DPS parsing Black Mage numbers since patch

[EasymodeX]

Necessary damage isn't stat padding.

Snakes should be AOE'd until the LB threshold. Wyverns should be AOE'd or multi-dotted.

If you're not, you're doing it wrong. If you hit Twintania enrage because you wasted half a minute using ST DPS for AOE phases, that's your stupidity causing the raid to fail.

also, you might want to watch out about openly talking about "parsing." DPS counting isn't against the rules but there's something violation with a parser that's in the terms of service or some stuff. I think it's because a parser has to read the game or something. All in all, I'd watch out with that word; had a buddy get suspended.

If your buddy told you he was suspended for parsing, he lied to you about what he really got suspended for. Parsers are NOT against the ToS because while they do read client sided files in real time, they do not make any modifications to them.

Talking too much in detail about parser functionality will get you banned from the forums. I was banned for 10days because I "helped" explain some of the detailed differences between the 3 parsers.

Ikr.

So that's why you and that thread just disappeared.

If you're waiting half a second anyway why not just use Thunder III?

Sorry. I don't really mean half a second... I mean a little pause that can make your mp tick go off right before the fire 3 lands.

I was going to say something along the lines of "That's ridiculous, no mod is going to do that, to not even follow their own ToS (which clearly states that only MODIFYING game files is not allowed)".

But then I remembered who we're talking about, so I suppose you have a point.

If you spam aoe in p1 and p3 then 280 is easy, but its not optimal. aoe is never optimal unless its 4 mobs. but if u want to pad numbers, flare transpose on the snakes and drakes is an easy way to do it and make urself "look better" while actually taking longer.

Laughably counter-intuitive.
