DPS checks vs mechanics

[Vlady]

I love how people leave out the equation of some people cheat to win these fights. Se is a lot more lenient on people who use bots to perform thier dps rotation and no telling how many high end Raiders use bots so no having harsh dps checks only breeds more cheaters.

You think dps checks stop this? Bots are only possible since SE made the bosses so brain dead that they just do the same thing in rotations and hp triggers, making it easy to learn "phases" (man i hate that now). All these fights is like learning a dance, in which there is no danger as long as you memorize it. If SE would stop using repetition in fights instead of random dangers, players would have to learn and improvise for future battles. Bots wouldn't be able to do anything in those fights because it'd never be the same.

Dps checks wouldn't do a thing, its just more dps rotations. bosses that learn from you would fix that easily. Self aware bosses. now that'd be a thing. And yes, insta kill moves would screw you over if that was real, there fault for adding them.

I've always wondered that, man. I mean, I'm sad as a NIN now because I feel like I pour my all into my attacks. One minute, someone parse me at 1200. Another minute, I'm parsed at 900. Someone with less gear than me is parsing 1300 on the same job. When I watch them, you see very little movement (they stay behind for Armor Crush whereas I'm on the flank for it). I just don't get it.

It got so bad that I play PLD now, and ended up NOT getting Kannagi, but Almace instead.

Parses depend on the parse settings as well. and the fights, how often you are engaged in combat, there are many variables. as for bots, i dont think you can bot the more intricate fights. thats giving bots too much credit.
