Absolute frustration at not being able to see my own DPS (ps4)

[Azazua_azura]

Because some people don't play that job, so they cannot help. Even then, it is not my duty to teach someone their rotation while already in a fight. Imagine you're doing A1S with group composed of ilv 190 players. The MNK and DRG are doing roughly 1.2k DPS, which are solid numbers for that iLv if you know your rotation, the BRD is doing 1k, but the NIN is only doing 500dps. You constantly fail to meet the check, Faust uses Pressure Increase, wrecks the tank, and proceeds to kill the rest of the group. Why should the NIN not be kicked when they are not contributing enough damage to pass the fight? Why should an entire group disband, instead of dealing with the 1 problem that the group has?

no offence, one person isn't a make or break. If ur doing Alex savage in a Pf group instead of with players you know/been playing with for a while thats your own fault. And communication should be forfront, not numbers. The correct way to go about it is leave and communicate see where the issue lies. parser doesn't tell you the issue just the numbers. This is what pro parser ppl don't get, they are quick to kick instead of handling the situation.

The correct way to go about this type of content is first play with people you know, master each bit of the content then worry about dmg. After that communicate with your team before and after each fight to see how as a group can improve.

Thing is numbers change at any given moment due to how a mob chooses to attack. One fight the ninja might be the main target for mob ayttacks, next fight it might be the dragoons. Other factors include sudden lag spikes, if a person is newer to the content, or is having an off day due to being sick.

And it has been said that parser to parser numbers change, how do you know which is more on point?


@ odett and sorry dude people like you are heavily misguided on how to act and do any form of content with the "kick the <supposed> low dps person" The fact you encourage that behavior is just mind boggling. And that is the type of mindset i'm tired of seeing. The japanese players (most are ps3/ps4) have little to no issue beating this content w/o a parser, same for ff11 (which was out for a year as ps2 only in japan mind you). There is more to content that 1 person dps, and that is teamwork and communication, which from my experience what Na players lack, outside insulting each other over arbitrary numbers on a tv/computer screen.
