Built-in Parsers

[akaneakki]

They're not handling it because it's still not necessary (Having/using a parser, that is). If it ever somehow became necessary, then they'd implement it, don't you think?

In a high pve game, yes it's needed.

Preferred, yes. Needed? I still scrutinize that, but I'm not one to rock the boat for no reason.

I got no issues with parsing, and assuming people don't misuse it, I'd welcome an official one. I'd even welcome some kind of console option. But I have every issue with the limited mindset of thinking console players are disadvantaged for not having it.

Let me ask you this question. I read a while back you did a mch opener or rotation before a guide came out. I can quote you on it soon as I find it. I asume MCH is your main, correct? On a scale from 1 to 10 how good do you think you are on MCH compare to lets say top 20 mchs? The very good ones.


Since I've asked that, I'm looking forward to see what you say. Then, I agree, ps4 players can play well but then again, it's becaue of a help from people with a parser in the game. SMN I had back in gordias and midas raid was amazing and he was on ps4. He only asked if his dps was lower or higher in some places of a fight, asuming he wanted to know what he changed did better or less. If nobody had a parser, how could one know they improved or not? But again I'm waiting for your reply. And I know you aren't a NO person for parser, I can tell but also there is a disadvantage for ps4 players NOT having a parser.

Uh...PS4 player here...I don't ask people about my parses, I know when I can improve based on my enmity generation,

I'm sorry but this is a hardcore meme. Honestly you can't? Ever heard about diversion? Ever heard about aggro reset skills? Elusive jump? Lets say i did that 2 times in a fight without you noticing, Would you still think you were ahead of me? Another example, samurais has shitload of aggro and they can still play bad. What's your point again? This comes from a person who's also on ps4 btw

Yeah, you wasted time using them and may be tanking the floor after those jumps for a bit

But yes, the threat bars are a crappy sub for actual data.

Uh...PS4 player here...I don't ask people about my parses, I know when I can improve based on my enmity generation, and going through the dungeons/trials/raids multiple times. I've been told my numbers a total of 1(ONE) time, and that was back in the early stages of HW. All that was said was that they were low, but not the lowest. I never once looked(or even cared to look) at FFLogs until just recently out of curiosity.

So, saying that PS4 players can't improve without them...please pull your head out of the hole and take a good look around.

Enmity generation is not an accurate representation of dps numbers. Never was, never will be. Especially now that more classes have a way to minimize their own.
