Would you like an in-game parser?

[LadyCeles]

I dont have a parser and i dont use vids. If u actually think the people who do world first and server first content and make videos dont use parsers you are foolish. How else you think they find out the amount of raidwide damage you need for instances or phases. Ok they might not be needed but there a great tool like i said. If your a type of player that needs to wait for vids and run that way then fine power to you i wont judge. Having the power to know what you and your team is doing, what damage you are taking, the time span of phases is great to know. You shouldnt put people down that are pro parser, its worse then what you claim pro parser people to be. Sad how prissy and sinsitive people get by saying you have low dps. In my raid group if we tell someone there dps is low they improve there rotation and do the research (however it may be) to get it up. Low dps doesnt mean bad player, you can fix dps you cant fix stupid. But any serious savage raid team will have have a parser

And for those who keep talking as though there's some mandate that other players must "improve their game to meet your own standards", get the f*** over yourself. Seriously. Your self-importance, arrogance, and sense of authority over how others play are not warranted, nor earned.

You keep to forget there are people who likes people with common sense. You make it sound like we should all accept people just doing their own shit and go along with it. Many others in here including myself never expects people to play top raid level, I'm not even close to that level, so I don't really know why and how you even come up with this. Many people don't do positionals, doesn't add dots, doesnt buff themselves and expects to be doing primals and raids, seriously? You are okay with that? I'm not gonna lie, the post of yours make it sound like we shouldn't help people at all and just accept they have a huge flaw. Wanna know how ironic your post sounds like? You say this game wasn't designed for parsers and optimize your class or classes, so it should all work like a spinning wheel. If its that easy, how come we still are on about parsers being toxic? In the first place if more people took common sense into learning their class, play it somewhat decent and not random button smash, this wouldn't be a discussion to begin with. The irony in your post is pure amazing

Just gonna put this in here for you

I like how in every single parser thread there have been console players who said they would like an official parser, but the anti parser crowd would deny them such a tool to better themselves (because feelings). So much for looking out for others, how ironic.

M1S for now.

What Ilvl? And good luck!

Yet the content is surmountable without them. People don't need parsers to succeed.

I've stopped at this sentence.

Just "most" content is doable without knowing the performance. But there is content where you have to know how you perform and where you need to improve.

Tell me if I'm wrong. But you never have stepped a foot into content like Coil or Alex Savage. I can understand that it is hard to believe when you never got in touch with the more challanging part of the PvE end game. But this doesn't mean it isn't there.

Do you consider Coil as a content where you need a parser ? I tried to not talk about it because I feared people would simply brush it off as "Pfff, Coil was really forgiving when it comes to DPS, so of course a parser isn't needed".
But, if coil is legitimate, then yeah, my static did it all without any parser.
So...still not mandatory

Actually, back when I just swapped from ps3 to ps4 we had this smn in turn9 with us. His dps was low as hell, I talk about 260 with pet. Having 4-5 meteor's wasnt something you would really want to optimize, pushing them mean you would mostlikely skip enerage too because enrage timer goes off before pull but duration doesn't go through add phase. If you had 5 meteor in phase 1, means you would struggle in last phase, where there are alot more movement in therms of mechanics. So they swapped me to smn after 2 weeks and I did 350 plus. We even skipped meteors.
You could do it but that could also mean overgeared like crazy, or many weeks into second coil where hunts became a thing and could upgrade.

I remember my group did turn 6-7-8 withint 7 hours raid times. Ironicly the one we struggled most with was turn 8 lol. Even if it was a dummy strike boss, lack of gear needed to optimize. I was MNK when this happened before going smn, and my MNK, well was pretty bad on that turn. Found out I did hella crap in that fight till people told me to fix it, since 4 people ran parsers.

FFXIV wasn't designed with parsers in-game

Then why the vast majority of the game's fight are dps checks? Most importantly, raid encounters?

If they weren't I could assure you that parser wouldn't be needed.

I just want to say, I've been playing for years and you're the most toxic person I've seen. Ironic.

I think SSS ignores food and pots anyway so don't waste them

Right? I've not seen a single malicious post (though I haven't looked that hard in this thread) from the pro parsers and this crops up. Our argument is to help people, and to eliminate the toxicity that we receive, and yet we are the "self important and arrogant" ones.
