Gear is only a small portion of ability to complete a fight, which includes skill and experience. What I find most disturbing is people flat out denying anyone new to do the Extremes, well how will they learn or do better later in attempts if you deny them completly any participation in the fight due to gear/actual run attempts. Gear is a core/foundation aspect to entering the fight, the rest is skill and somewhat connection.

You cant do shit about Ping, its in every game. tho I am slow sometimes, I listen to the casting sound effects or abilities that Titan do, to predict a movement before it drops down on my screen.

But the fight I hear is absolutely fun and possible with practice. I have yet to do it because I am in no rush.

As for Parsers , they are never 100% correct and have many faults, many Dev's and GM's dont give any credit to there numbers do to the ability to be off. It is a tool simply to guess what your doing. Your parse would be much more accurate for you, than others.
