Would you like an in-game parser?

why arent they using the skill in first place? The arguement people use is people are bad and when you call it out they start whining. Not using a skill makes them worse. You and others seem to forget that dps has a role like tank and healer. If either slack its a wipe.

No one'll ever know unless someone asks. But again, the way you ask is just as important as using the skill. If you come off as aggressive and trying to pick a fight, people are going to get defensive. If you come off as being helpful or informative, that's less likely to happen. Everyone's different.

DPS have a role just like healers and tanks sure, but as a healer I am also expected to DPS as are tanks. Granted, I have nothing else to do besides DPS if the tank is full, so I might as well even though I'd prefer a role more similar to that of the FFXI red mage or bard. I like being a super support/enfeeble while healing instead of DPSing it's one of the reasons I've tried go to get back into Astro.

But then what happens if 3 DPS and a tank happen to go one way for A7 Normal (I can't say if this would work for savage, don't do it. >.>; ) and both healers, 1 dps and the tank go the other? If one of the 3 dps is a black mage, and they can keep the tank alive long enough with Physick spam till the party kills the adds and regroup to redistribute it, should they? I had to do that once when I was doing turn 10 in Coil of Bahamut as black mage. It was messy, but it worked.

But again, my philosophy is do what you can to get the win-- it doesn't have to be pretty. I still remember the "ghetto" method of Binding Coil T1. Fusing the snakes and having the tank run around the arena... messy? Yes. Did it work all the time? No. Was it fun? Hell yes! XD
