Would you like an in-game parser?

[Seraphix2407]

Seems to me people are doing just fine without parsers to tell them what they already know - that they're doing sufficient output, and dancing to the mechanics sufficiently to defeat the content. But that's not enough. There's gotta be NUMBERS!

No. Just no. This isn't just about numbers. You put a guy in a fight where BLM's for example or BRD/MCH has to move alot, they wouldn't need to move for jack shit on SSS. Put them in a fight like sephirot, thordan, midas savage etc, you will see it will ring another tone.
Example, a mnk can do insane dps on a stupid dummy, once they in a fight it will be different, with mechanics. Numbers only? What about your dps is low as 900 in a fight, then you suddenly want to use a parser or anyone else, they see it and they will probably think: Damn, this dps is low. How do I improve it? Well first, did he beat the dummy? Yes, did he do the mechanics on it? No. So this is where the parser is going to be the real deal, you look at it, find out what you doing wrong, fix it and voila you have increased the dps. There are fights you wanna hold your cds or even use them right away. It's all different from fight to fight. So numbers only? Nope.

Someone give her a medal, I couldn't have said any of this better myself. Like I said before, Raiders can get very nasty. One of the reasons I quit was because I wasn't going to put up with that garbage anymore.

Yes it sucks you been through some nasty people. But we all have, in some sort of form. I'm all up for teaching people their rotations or improve their skills if they are willing to listen to, oh hey! I have met those people, and guess what? They come to me and they wanna hug the living shit out of me because I made them get better? That feeling is amazing. But you know what made me stay away from helping people for a while? Those who refused to listen to advice and tells me to fuck off. So those who refuses gets nasty as well

It all comes down to the same thing, if you're going into something in a particular role, you have to fulfill that role.

Holy... Okay this post has to be one of the best and THE most simpliest post on this forum. DPS job is to yes... DO DPS. Damage!!!!!! If you can't forfill that role, you have to either change or simply take advice from players. As this guy mention, tanks and healers gets easily screwed over, while a dps can afk for 10000 years in 24 man raid and still clear it. I know its faceroll content but how about when tanks lose aggro or healers doesn't heal? So sir, thank you for this post.
