Suggestion: Parser for self view only

[Dzian]

With all the changes in jobs, I really wish I had a parser in game, even if only I could see just my results. Check my heals as well as damage, let me find optimal rotations myself through feel and experimentation rather than reading charts. Let me compare damage increases from certain buffs.

I think this would help people strive to be better in dungeons. Give us little personal challenges that hurt nobody. Aren't se allowing them now for pc?

As on all these threads: Yes please! We PS4 players need this so badly!
Own numbers are enough, even just on training dummies would be ok, I just want an actual way of comparing and optimising my rotations. No, Stone, Sky, Sea does not help, to compare rotations you need actual numbers.

Actually SSS or it's 4.0 equivelant will tell you everything you mentioned and is probably the best way of measuring your dps potential and testing rotations because it's a consistant testing ground.

If one rotation let's you smash that dummy 10 seconds faster than a different rotation then you know there's an improvement. likewise if a rotation means it takes 10 seconds longer you know theres a decrease in performance..

And those dummies are also tuned quite well and give you a good idea what you should be capable of for the various I levels they are tuned to. So if your i250 and can't smash the a12s dummy you know your below the bar and need to improve. on the other hand if you're i250 and smashing the a12s dummy with seconds to spare. you know your potential dps is up where it needs to be.

By comparison Parsers don't tell you a thing about your dps potential there's to many variables involved to get an accurate result and no metric by which to measure. if you're i250 and parse 1,800 dps on a striking dummy that doesn't tell you anything.

If a player smashes that a12s dummy with 10 seconds to spare, he knows he's capable of doing enough dps to clear that fight...
If a guy simply comes out with a parse of 2,000 dps however that doesn't tell him a damn thing.

then like the quotes above people want a parser to test there rotations but SSS or it's 4.0 equivelant is the best place to do that.

Parsing. If one rotation parses you 100 dps higher than another at the end of a boss fight than another rotation it doesn't tell you anything either. Is that rotation better? Or maybe I was tossed a better card by the ast?. Or buffed attack speed by the scholar?. Or crit rate by such and such... there's far to many possibilities to form an accurate conclusion or analysis of whether that rotation is actually better...

SSS though if one rotation sees you smash that dummy 10 seconds faster than a different rotation. it provides a much clearer result as to which rotation is better. because in SSS there are only 2 varaibles. 1 is your rotation and the other is your gear...

What a parser does is tell you what your dps is but provides no metric by which to measure that by. Knowing you did 2000 dps means nothing without a metric comparison...

It's the same as someone saying Angelina Jolie is a definite 5. By itself that means absolutely nothing.
Is it 5 out of 5 dam she's hot or
is it 5/10. Meh!!!!
Or even 5/100...
Knowing shes a 5 means absolutely nothing. Parsers are the same. Knowing your dps is 2000 means absolutely nothing when you don't have a metric or accurate means of comparison...

If you want to test rotations and dps Potential SSS or it's 4.0 equivelant will tell you a lot more than a parser can about what you should be capable of and whether you are above or below that bar....

So again when it comes to what players like those I quoted want parsers for. i.e testing rotations, and seeing if they're at the level they should be. SSS is actually the best place for them to get that information and a parser actaully wouldn't help them at all.
