Battle Chat Parser

[Dzian]

Indeed its true they can harass players for not pushing out numbers but its also true that they will complain or even kick healers for not dpsing. Anyway my point is players that harass other players will continue to do so with or w/out a parser.

On the flip side im not asking for a group parser all I want is a parser just for myself so i can see if im doing my job at its fullest. Granted I wouldn't mind a group parser but at the end of the day having my own parser that gives me an accurate dps would greatly improved the player base that wants to get better. Which i believe will greatly out weigh any negative pushback.

You cannot have a personal parse though because the 7 people in your party can have a significant impact on your dps. That if you want to make any accurate assessments is something you need to take into account. Just a personal parse is of accurate fps is meaningless.

I for example came out of a recent v1s run with 3.7k dps on my samurai

No-one can make any accurate assessments or judgements on that performance. No one can say I did well or did badly no one can say my dps should have been 4.7k or something. Essentially knowing just your dps tells you nothing at all. And for that reason a personal parser will never work

Which is why no one can say whether my recent 3.7k dps v1s run was a good result or a bad one. It's just not possible. The information is useless without anything to put it in context or explain the why.

If you think I'm wrong then tell me what my 3.7k means.

I'm not saying parsers are useless but to use them correctly requires a hell of a lot more information than just your personal fps. Because to make any accurate judgements you need to understand why your dps is what it is
