DPS meters and why they're necessary

[Exstal]

As an addon, it's elitest crap and the people using it telling the rest of the game if they're good enough.

Parsers haven't even been in FFXIV that long yet somehow people have been finishing end game content this whole time. How does that make them "Needed"?

Maybe a better suggestion for you all is to ask them to put one into the game rather than allow 3rd party ones. That is the only way I could see them doing any good.

Elitist crap? Hahahaa, I think you are ignorant to what an elitist is. Parsers haven't been in FFXIV that long? They've been in since basically relaunch (August 25, 2013). So it's been here for basically the entire time. The reason why you can only see it doing any good in that way is because your vision is limited to what you've done for the past 20 years and your acceptance of anything outside that vision is wrong.

What class and server did you play in Aion? What year did you quit?

I need build in one, i'm from ps4. We don't want "bah ok use it", we want a good official parser. Anyway parsers are around from 1-2 month since release

Plus, please don't forget to explain how did you choose you BiS equipment in this game. How did you weighted secondary stats without any information gotten out from a parser by you or other people?

I don't think he said that he didn't get his information from people who used parsers. That he personally doesn't use it. That's fine for him because he's just one person in the hundreds of thousands. People who actually care about improvement will find any way to refine their skill, as long as it is within reason. I said this already though, there's three ways to go about this;

1) Get a pen and paper handy, and recording software. Some kind of timer then record yourself doing rotation with combat log up. When you're done, do math. Total damage done over time = damage per second.
2) Get parser which does it a fraction of the time.
3) Read the tooltips and just guess which is the best rotation and if you get lucky, you're right. If you get it wrong, you're still doing better than majority of players who don't do 1 or 2.
