But when one struggles to break 4k of damage, on a job that they do know for the most part minus a couple of SB changes, I have to question my own ability as a player. But again, the thread is not about me - it's about alternate means of parsers. If they gave the SSS dummies some QoL improvements, maybe even have an active DPS meter along with them (exclusively), I could see that helping.
Looking at your public logs, yeah. You are something else. The fact you admit it so openly is refreshing. But have you done anything to change that? Admitting something is one thing, but constantly pushing it off as someone else's problem is another. If it's always someone else's problem, what happens when you get a party full of people with that mentality?

Point is, you don't have to remain a gray forever. You have a blue and a green in finger painting. As I said, there is always room for improvement. The best place to start is to work on that SSS dummy if a console player and strive to destroy it. That is especially true if you're in 350+ gear. If you have a friend that uses meters, ask them for help. Ask a mentor for advice. Compare notes. You know, help each other out. That goes for not just you but people looking to improve in general.

I play on PS4 so all of my logs are recorded by someone else. Even then, I'm not perfect of course and I strive to get better with what I have to work with. If this game had an ingame meter, that'd definitely be a more definitive way of knowing what's up, but so far the SSS dummies have done me well as a melee DPS.
