Would you like an in-game parser?

I don't do farm parties so no, I don't need to see your inane ramblings. I make sure to atleast get a grasp on mechanics before I enter fights and stay up to date on gear, I don't need a number to know if I screwed up or not. Stop the hand holding. I have no need for your e-peen contests.

You need more than just mechanical knowledge and up-to-date gear to clear a fight.

Take a ShinEx group I was in last week. A MNK in full 320 crafted (non-melded) was doing more damage with two deaths than a MCH that massively outgeared him (330-340 gear in every slot with some melds) with no deaths. For all the MCH’s big talk, he could barely break 3k DPS; the MNK with 2 deaths was still 600 DPS ahead of him, and was pulling 4,000~4,200 DPS on pulls where they weren’t killed due to healer negligence. We saw the second Tidal Wave in phase one with zero deaths because the DPS was that low; I highly doubt we would have made the Tidal Wave enrage, because I’ve been in groups with higher rDPS that just barely made it before the cast finished. So yeah, DPS is important in Extreme/Savage/Ultimate fights, and not just “an e-peen contest”. Don’t try to pretend that it isn’t.


And again, here is another example of someone who considers themselves “anti-parser” being unnecessarily hostile. But the “pro-parser” crowd is the “toxic” crowd.....
