parse for ps4 users !

What would have changed were it an official parser in your example:
Everyone could have seen the numbers.

The official parser the defs are working on is one that don't show your numbers to others

where did you get the info that they are working on one, please link.

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.

STR tanks have been the standard since well before HW.

I've been playing since launch and 1.0 prior.... thats a big NO. most tanks i saw in 2.0 and on was vit geared in 4 man content. once as3 was out every tank i saw was str based in 4 man content.

FFXIV: People who haven't used parsers explaining why parsers are bad for doing what they think parsers do.

first off me and red know about parser what they do etc.

we played an mmo that had a built in parser system. I also have been playing mmo for 10+ years and been around this parser mantality.

people rely too much on parrse numbers to pick apart who is doing good and who is doing bad (as per whatr people mostly use them for) In most statics i seen, been apart of, or heard complants about people gripe on if a person has low dps or not. People use it as a scale to see if they are playing well or not.

what me and red are saying is dmg numbers are unreliable scource to judhe if a person is playing well or not. Niether of us nor has anyone ever stated irs meant to hand hold content.

What people do debate is the communities over all mind or understanding with the info given by parser which by that thread, could be completely wrong. Or the patser a person is using is poorly coded.

What i was trying to state is parser numbers are inconsistent, how do you know what is a good parse number vs bad. What if a person you parsed as a judgment call was an absolute fluke, how can you judge numbers between two players who are geared different play differentm have different internet and live in different areas. Or have different levels of understanding content.

which again why me and red stated their are unreliable.

And again i do know what parser do, again dcuo has one built in. And nymbers are never the samec person to person, or content to content.
