DPS problem...SOLUTION!

[Pinkie_Pie]

Okay, unless you are raiding, there isnt much of a DPS check in this game. Is there really a need to rush here to the forums bitching about every lil thing? There have been countless topics bitching about every role lately. I'm fairly certain we dont need 10 more today do we?

If people do have a problem with a player not correctly playing the job, then POLITELY offer advice. I say politely because 99% of the advice I've seen given is just some rude remark to a new player who is just trying to enjoy the game.

Me - "Excuse me, I noticed you are casting fire 1 and blizzard 4 alot and not using fire 4, did you kno-"

Mage - "I know what I'm doing, not every mage spam fire 4 for damage, blizzard 4 does the same damage"

Me - "But you are not doing enough damage and that's whats causing the wipes, I'm trying to help you"

Mage - "Stop telling me what to do, I know what I'm doing, worry about yourself"

From then, that's when the nice goes away and I end up telling them to shove it and learn to play their class and /kick them out of the group. There are people that just WON'T improve their dps/gameplay for the group thinking they can be carried. A WoW mortally from LFR.

I look at the endgame BLM rotation and paaaaniiic!! I'd have really welcomed that kind of advice, not offensive at all. I'd really love a tool for personal parsing and progressional rotation that helps me memorize said rotation pre-50, where I can slot in new skills as I go (and practice in low level dungeons/dummy) I'll never do endgame content cos I just don't have good hand/eye co-ordination, but I really enjoy learning rotations and when/how to use them correctly Working on BLM and MNK at the moment, so much fun
