parse for ps4 users !

[Ryel]

In my opinion the wide spread use of parser are starting (and have) to lead players in bad habits, from STR tanks to players attacking on or before pulls no matter the content, tank or, tanks skill.

Er...

STR tanks have nothing to do with parsers... just throwing that out there.

The whole STR versus VIT debate has everything to do with effective HP versus incoming damage and cooldown management, if you have more HP than you need for an encounter then stacking extra VIT doesn't do much for you, meaning the only other stat you could swap in would be STR which benefits the party by virtue of the tank doing more damage.

last i checked you do not need the aid of a parser to see HP values in the party list.

So... there's that.

I wasn't finished but at least from my experience there has been a raise in str geared tanks since the release of Alex savage due to the dps check on AS3 i believe, so to compensate for damage tanks been gearing in str.


nothing i stated was about the debate as i don't follow it, it was based on my observations from playing as a healer on and off since launch of 2.0 vs now. Which went from tanks gearing in vit in 4 man content to gearing in str in four man content. Which tanks gearing in str has been a product of parser use as not hitting the number for the dps check..

I don't blame the fact of the dps check as due to SE been doing dos check in their games since ps final fantasy.


And personally speaking as a healer tank i rather over compensate vit for an "oh shi" moment then act as a psuedo dps. cuz shi happens lol, the dps are suppose to be the main attackers tank suppose to soak up the damage, more hp a tank has got more hit they can take less cures they need so the healer could help with dmg or catch their breath a bit. (this is my personal taste but i also balance my bonus state points out and use food to balance my damage out.)
