What is a 'bad player'?

[Chardrizard]

Really? People use moogle parser as comparison? In moogle fights if you are one of the top DPS, the moogles will starts following you, forcing you to kite. Which is why using parses from moogle fight is silly because there are few scenario where some player will not be able to perform anything for few minutes.

Of course unless you are such a bad DPS, you never had moogles following you.

After memento I generally have 3-5 moogles flashing red chasing me. I still top dps.... every run. Combination of kiting / dpsing / shadowbinds / Cham + Quel Str / 2nd wind / cure myself / cures from my healers / featherfoot / decoy / sentinel... just playing the class basically.

Then you would know numbers fluctuates alot because of this scenarios. Numbers are not consistent enough to justifies stats arent working as intended with moogle parses.

I parse all the time and the numbers are pretty consistent. I know what you're saying though... it's a dynamic fight. I'm just saying that stats place a small role in overall performance based on what I've observed. I used the moogle fight as an example, but I saw the same thing against Ifrit (pre 1.20). I had the worst gear out of anyone in all the parties I played with and still topped parse.

I guess my main point is that stats (other than weapon) have a small effect in game. I would think 30 dex and 15 pie, +40~ crit attack, +40 attack power would make some noticeable difference, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
