This is why this game should'nt get a parse

Can i go offtopic, is there is any way to check my performance on fflogs if i am playing on ps4? Could the site just "screen" my gameplay without third party app included?

If someone parsed you in a fight and you are in it and it was uploaded, you can go to your profile (make an account btw, you should) and there is every detail what you did step by step. You can see when you used the buffs, etc

The site that Akaneakki said can give you exact information, but if you're curious on just numbers, it's not bad to just ask if anyone's parsing since you're curious and you're PS4. Usually when people ask, the person parsing will give the number, as they've basically gotten the okay. Helpful if you're ever just curious when doing things.

Oh snap, this thread got interesting all of a sudden. /popcorn

After reading a bunch of these replies I guess I don't really have that much of an issue with parsing, so long as it doesn't become the way we judge players in this game (yes, it's in my profile blurb as a negative, but only because I can't handle brospeak). For personal improvement, group improvement, performance breakdown etc, it is an effective tool because its faster than trying to watch what everyone is doing. However, it should never be used to shame or justify shitty behavior--and if becomes a thing on console then yes, it's going to get abused that way. And most of the ppl who do so won't even be 'elitists', they'll just be assholes. As they always were.

On the whole, I think elitists usually hang with other elitists and I encourage this behavior.

(Otherwise I'll get them in an ARR leveling dungeon and they'll leave at spawn because ALL MY SKILLS ARE GONE AND I CANNOT MAR THE PERFECTION THAT IS MY HOTBAR. --This used to happen pretty regularly before SB.)

Also, I don't think PF with set iLvls are really that elitist. It's pretty much just a stopgap to ensure a base level of DPS. You can grind some fairly easy content for the tomes needed for the gear. -And regular Exdeath is a joke. Get them Crystalloids.

I've always been torn between wanting an ingame parser, and not wanting one.

On one hand, when I was in a static, I asked for my numbers. I wanted that information.

On the other hand, that information is something that I personally believe should never actually be seen by players for reasons I see here. Talking about having a certain dps amount, clipping cooldowns, and other fine details that bring people into wanting pretty much perfect play. Or "My job does 0.01 dps less than another one, its unbalanced!"

Yes, dps checks / enrage is a thing but you shouldn't need this info to see where you may need work. If you need to squeeze every single possible point out of every player just to clear, then you think maybe you are a tad undergeared? "But Adeacia, what about world first groups?" Yeah, what about them? You act as if they actually matter overall. People who take time off from work just to play this have other issues to think about.

When I was doing Lakshmi EX (a stupidly easy fight, as we all know) when it just came out, the party I was in kept hitting enrage. It didn't take a parser to figure out who was lagging behind on dps. To fix it, I simply went to town with my own dps (I'm a healer) every chance I got and we cleared from then on. Now healers should not be required to dps at all to make up for lack of dps from actual dps, but I like doing it and wanted to actually start getting clears.

To summarize, in my experience (even in savage) it's pretty clear who is lagging and what they need to work on making a parser not needed to begin with.

When we progged first week and I died I did more dps than those who never die as ilvl 340 and they should still do more than what I did when they die 1 time too. Gear isn't going to magicaly make you a great dps.

This was today and the dps died once.. ONCE!!!! and look at the top, the warrior was doing most of the damage and this was a group of full 340. Explain to me why this is happening.
This was also an enrage btw.

I was specifically talking about expecting perfect play on every person in the party. My fault for not making that clear enough. I agree that people with lower gear can outdamage people with better gear. It happens all the time. You just shouldn't need a parser to realize someone is lagging behind is what I mean. I know when I mess up my rotation on BRD or let a dot fall off for example. Don't need a parser to tell me that I messed up and my dps is lower than it should have been.

Yeah that's np. But honestly if you do as low as OP or those guys did at ilvl 340, you dont even have the basic rotation even going on, you are legit spamming buttons all day without know whats going on.
A parser doesn't only tell you the damage, there is so much more than that

MAn,that parse is sad,clearly,without the 340 stuff you get for free in rabanastre,tehy would never beat any thing.
