Battle Chat Parser

[Dzian]

Exactly... We can use those numbers to gauge where we can improve rotations or if in need of gear/materia. We can also use those numbers to theory craft and improve your opener and sustained damage. There is a number of things you can do to improve your over all dps with a simple parser.

I don't deny that. my argument is that if you want any of those estimates to be even remotely close to accurate you need a lot more information than just your personal dps.

ACT is an absolutely amazing tool when used right and all the information it provides. hell so is fflogs when players use it correctly.

the point is you can't accurately estimate 2% of your overall dps or 10% of your dps on an add comes from having a ninja in your party for example without being able to see how often and when that ninja is using trick attack.

without all that extra information all your basically doing is plucking random numbers out of thin air.. like estimating the ast had balance up 60% of the time without any real way of knowing how accurate that is....

it creates a massive margin for error...
to make any reasonable conclusions you need so much more information than just your personal dps.

You can get an estimate of how much of that was due to having an Astro, monk, red mage, bard, dragoon, etc.

you did 3.5k the last week. You can estimate .....

If you do 4.1k the next week, you can estimate....

Etc etc etc.

So how much do all those jobs contribute to your personal dps?
does a bard add 4% to my dps. does a drg add 5%? ast 6%?
