    Parsers

    A lesson on why parsers should be a bannable offence, now I know the real reason for parsers is as an aid to improve dps, but when it comes to calling players out over dps using them, they should be bannable. Just in the Thornmarch to get my win (I don't get to play much) we wipe once and a healer parsing the fight just says "Delsus are you trolling, your dps was xxk"

    Um, yeah if I didn't badly need the win before 2.2 I would have left there and then, I don't normally take that kind of douchebaggery. (is that even a word?)

    So you were really bad, so bad that people thought you were taking the piss.

    Is it them being a douche for calling you on it.

    Or is it you being a douche for burdening them without practising your job rotations on a dummy.

    Monster dying is all i care about, nothing else.

    I see Parser used in both good and bad ways. Tho some retards cant even read parser properly. For example, a fight with bunch of low HP small adds, a blm flaring would get higher dps out of it then a MNK or DRG, turn 4 is a good example, of course, not many realizes this.

    The point is that, when a player fails too bad, it is easy to notice without a parser.

    People get called out on performance all the time without a parser.

    So someone calling your poor performance out with actual evidence should result in a ban lol?

    If you weren't playing poorly, that person would have never called you out.

    Maybe take it as a good sign to practice playing your job well and be an actual contribution to fights.

    If you are not parsing above 220 at worst, you should practice on dummies to better your rotation and your class. Would you want to do Satasha with a healer that was in cleric stance the entire time and never healed, because by being a sub-par DPS that is what you are doing to your group.

    But you don't see the point I'm making he just said "Delsus are you trolling" which is why I'm calling him a douchebag, what I would say in his shoes is "delsus your damage was only xxk, could you focus a little more" so many people don't understand it's not what you say, it's how you say it. If someone wants to use a parser to help me fine, but when they are saying things that make them sound like an ass, then they deserve whatever they get. I know my rotations, I was just lagging a lot, but be an ass to me and I'll be an ass back.

    Try working on your rotations. You're Ilvl looks to be about 75. No reason you shouldn't have been doing enough dmg in the fight.

    So many wise players on these forums.

    OP clearly says he haven't got much experience, and admitted it. Doesn't give justice for someone using parser to look down upon OP. Better use parser to give some constructive advice on how to play job better, instead of saying "You suck!".

    So, in other words, parsers should not actually be a bannable offense.
