parse for ps4 users !

@ jamein
Though it does happen, picking apart a group doesn't always mean " verbally butcher" people. Nor did I said anything about the df crowd.

Call it whatever you want, you have been advocating against parsers because you feel the community would castrate those not pulling enough DPS.

I just personally don't agree with the assesment people make with using a parser, numbers change from player to player, how do you know what is low and high since it changes at a moments notice from something as small as a 2 second lag spike.

Please, seriously sit back and consider what you are saying before you post, of course we know what is high, because the top players share the parse data from the clears, everyone shares the parse data, there is a website showing all of the parse data and ranks it, we can see what DPS people have managed to push out in those fights we take those figures as top, until someone else comes along and beats it. That's the entire point we can definitely see what people are able to parse given the gear in a fight, and then we can determine what the average DPS for a fight is per class, and then start to take gear into account etc. Thats how useful parse data is. It doesn't matter what a players excuse is, if your numbers are low then they are low, whether its lag or bad play or lack of experience on the mechanics, the outcome is your DPS is low and you need to improve it.

I'm also tired of people with the attitude you have, that parsers are the end all be all of gaming.

I am not showing you any attitude, I am simply debating a point and providing you with the facts, you do not use parsers, so you do not understand what they are used for or what data they give in this game or how it is used, so I am informing you that you are flat out wrong.

And what i said is the time tested way of figuring out rotations well before the internet, so you myfriend are in the wrong there. Tools are well and good, but people are so relient on them it sad.

Correction, BASIC rotations were figured out, as for OPTIMAL rotations that is a different ballgame that can only be tested by analysing data. I am far from wrong, sorry to disappoint you. A basic rotation might get you 800-1k DPS, an optimal rotation might get you 1300 dps, 300 DPS extra is a LOT over a 7-12 minute fight.

I also never once mentioned anything about individual damage of skill = top dps. How dod you even come up with that?

Literally your own words

First you can cross examine your battle log text fighting a mob 10 levels higher than you. If each skill is putting out a high number then you should be doing good.

Overall DPS is what matters.

Also optimal rotations in this game are pretty much spelled out, you would have to be new to gaming not understand that.

No, basic rotations are, the optimal rotations/openers to include oGCD weaving and buff timings and alignments are far from spelled out in game because these can also change per encounter depending on mechanics. For example A3S I can use B4B in my opener, but after that I to then leave off cooldown for a minute to save it for the DPS check, overall lowering my total Raid DPS but it is necessary.

I was saying and will keep saying a parser is NICE TO HAVE, but IS NOT REQUIRED to improve.

And I am telling you, that once you hit a certain level you do not KNOW how you are doing or if you are improving without the use of data. A parser obtains that Data.

and cuz I'm sick of your attitude, and people with your attitude, my 27 years of playing games well before the internet, trump yous any anyone post WoW mmo experience. So please stop pulling arguments out your ass, and thinking any thing anyone says against parser being needed, is wrong.

And now your complete ignorance is showing, how the hell do you come to the conclusion that you have been gaming longer than me? Do you know my age? What MMO's I started with? No you don't. Stop pulling information out of your ass I've been gaming just as long as you. However that in essense means nothing, some people play games more causally and don't care for DPS/high end gaming they just want to play, for me personally every MMO I ever played has been out doing the hardest content and min/maxing my class that's where my entertainment comes from in an MMO. I've been doing this a long time.
