DPS Tool

[Gormogon]

DPS meters should never be a thing since it not only create elitists that judge other players performances. The error comes when those same elitists feel that because it is a tool that is part of a game it is justified to insult other players.

The only DPS tool they should allow is something that helps manage personal DPS but overall simply serve as reminders.

Such as a better visual reminder that our DoT ticks and/or buffs are falling off than putting them first under the targets debuff icon area.

There needs to be some kind of check.

I fully agree with Marxam. There needs to be some kind of forced check.

A check shouldn't be needed at all.

If anything what Square-Enix could do is release a how-to video on how to play certain jobs. Yet not a "elitist" level video either just a simplistic and general video explaining what players should be doing on average. Simply take pointers from LoL "champion spotlight".

This videos only need to explain standard job specific rotations.

As an example for Black mages. Pointing out that Astral Fire 3 helps do more fire damage and that is why you should consider opening with Fire 3 and that when you get low on mana should consider using Blizzard 3 because astral fire 3 reduces ice spells casting time and thel mana regen umbral ice 3 offers is a big benefit in the rotation.

And they just queue in the video Fire 3 > Fire 1 > Fire 1 > Fire 1 > Fire 1 > Blizzard 3 > Thunder 3 rinse and repeat

And that if you need to move to move over getting hit.

Yet they don't have to be mentioning anything about double flare, triple flare, Aetherial Manipulation, manawall, manaward, scathe, etc. Since that's over doing it.

Or you can do these videos yourself and tell the DPS you queue with to watch em.
