Parsers and Problems

[Eidolon]

So you're telling me its absolutely possible to parse at 10 dps as a dps for the entire savage encounter and still be high on aggro

since dps and aggro are apples and oranges right?


PROVE IT

See, no one's really saying they're 100% seperate, but they are moreso saying that it's a one-way street.

It's possible to have High DPS and Low Aggro (Depending on what you consider 'low')

It's not possible to have Low DPS and High Aggro, unless you're a healer/tank.

That's exactly, unrestricted, what they are trying to explain. I do agree - if no one is using their Threat Reduction, /and/ you don't have a SMN/MCH to compare against, the aggro is a good way to gauge how much DPS someone did. But if the BLM is out-DPS'ing the Dragoon, uses Quelling Strikes, and the Dragoon never uses Jump? The DRG will naturally have more threat than the BLM (and not all fights can be optimized using Elusive jump for movement, so there's a number of situations where this happens to me.)
