In Game DPS Meter

[KingOfAbyss]

Well for one you don't need a DPS meter to know if someone has a sound rotation and that is all that matters that it is sound.

For those saying you need dps meters to better yourself consider this. You can already check your DPS rotation by reading your abilities description. There's training dummies already in-game so go play around with them if you feel you're lacking or you want to better your damage rotation. Ask help from a player that's consider "the best" if you need to. There's no shame in it.

Always take situational awareness into consideration and find ways to optimize for inconsistencies. Not just in regards to your damage abilities for damage but also when you should consider making a judgement call on utility like stun, slow, and snare. If you need to consider saving your gap closers for certain phases. When as a bard you should consider using those songs and even the lv3 limit break. When as a caster you should use manawall, manaward, virus, lethargy, apocatastasis, sleep, eye for an eye, heal, and for those summoners battle res. So on and so on.

If you feel someone is lacking, gather everyone in the group never single someone out because as group the group needs to function to a certain capacity together not individually. Ask and make sure everyone has food and pots for raids. Check their rotations individually and see if they are sound.

Even sometimes despite having perfect DPS it's just a matter of practice and patience.

If you really want to make a difference start by truly aiding not by mocking those that are not up to your standards.

Another one that gets it.

I had the tought that SE wanted this game for casuals. Judging how perfect everyone needs to be at second coil, makes me wonder..

I myself thought at one point that my BLM rotation was solid until I found out I was pulling 100 DPS lower than others. Turns out that my rotation was good but I wasnt doing little things like aetherial manipulation.

Turns out your rotation wasn't good, since you just wrote that you skipped 'little things'.. that counts.

And how did you know exactly it was accurately 100 dps?

A BLM that needs to stand still for his perfect rotation, in a place that you have to move lots, might make a little less DPS.. althought I'm not sure.. and then adapt and come with a different rotation, that works.

oh and Jay, sadly

You don't have to divulge your DPS to anyone.

The problem will come, like these PF 1 mistake and your out.

now it will be: take a screen shot or record a video, give us the link on youtube so we will judge if you are decent (perfect) else kick.
