This is why this game should'nt get a parse

[spagthetapdancer]

To which I say, why wasn't this in a new Hall of the Novice? I've noticed an increasing trend with SB dungeons. They keep adding gimmicks to one of the bosses, which get tedious very quickly, especially if you play jobs with a resource you have to maintain and said gimmick messes it up.

my guess is because HoN isn't meant to be something maintained. you're meant to be introduced to and grow accustomed to more "advanced" mechanics organically instead of in a formal training ground. also HoN is some easily missed junk on the side of the road in a zone people don't really linger in. people barely remember it exists. the novice network has a bigger footprint.

This is SE we're talking about. Their solution to toxic players in PvP was to remove the chat function. They're more likely to remove DPS checks and have us run around like the second boss in Bardam's Mettle than introduce a parser.

This is the playerbase we're talking about here. Some of them couldn't even do Bardam's second boss. That was fun to solo...

I mean its not like it matters, you just keep dodging and thats that?

Some People don't know that warrior tanks in DPS staces able to stay in position let them push out higher numbers then a DPS running out of random AOE.
There have been times my wife the FC only Warrior Main Job, has push numbers hire then DPS because of 3 reasons. One Able to take a hit without moving out of POS so more DMG being done in the fight, Not dieing, Just being out geared over other DPS in the FC. She can play WHM/BRD/WAR. but only War is max Ilevel. Our FC lets people for the most part play the job they like not the one they are best geared at.

There are 2 people in our FC that have been posting our fights to FFLOGS. which I personally don't care for I play for fun.. If I can't beat content today. next patch I can try again,

If you play BRD all the time and you finally get DRG geared to enter content knowning the rest of group is going to pull there weight. Sure play DRG because maybe your sick of always playing BRD.
In this case the DRG DPS is going to lack that of the BRD, but the person gets to have fun.

Pld does comparable dps to war with less effort. Drk is a bit behind pld but can still outdps actual dps just the same as pld and war.

I too hate it when people can tell what a garbage player i am that is dragging the entire group down and who is a huge burden to other players.
I would also hate letting people know their own performance so they can improve on it, because i just can't be assed to improve as a player myself.



Squeenix should have added official support to parsers a long time ago, it's a must at this point.

The fight in question is O2S where everything except the safe spot for Maniacal Probe is scripted. There are no random AOE for DPS to dodge, it's easy to pre-position yourself in this fight.

I'm so proud that this thread didn't turn into the pity party for the OP i predicted all the way back on page 1. Maybe there is some hope that people might be able to take some pride in their numbers and not be made to feel like assholes.

Most don't feel pity because first of all there was nothing mentioned about DPS/parser from that tank. He also spoke very bold which the OP misunderstood as well. Then he clearly wants to put blame on others rather than himself. Those times he never had a single death isn't excactly so much better than the ones he had with death and that is himself only to blame. I wont pity someone who tries to put guilt on others for their own mistakes. And I think most good players are done with peoples attitude towards them. I'm tired of being called elitist when I try to help someone, I'm tired of being called no lifer when I try to help someone improve, I'm tired of being called asshole for trying to help someone. Yeah I'm also very tired of be in groups with people who clearly only think about themselves.

I can't believe this thread achieved the impossible. It got better.
