    Sure! If you want to waste time hitting a stupid dummy before you can actually do any content. A dummy that would literally have no bearing on the actual content you are doing it for.

    Risky stance here. So long as people get a suspension for trying to help other players improve their gameplay ("harassment") there won't be any change to this. And if you keep a close eye (not even close actually, just glance at it) on the community and what opinions they voice you can see how they don't wanna improve and rather cry all day about perceived toxicity and elitism and whatnot.

    This right here why I will never touch ex or savage content. Another thing need to take in effect is other players lag which cause less dps and get them killed more often.

    Sorry to break it to you but if your hardware is not up to the task you shouldn't really go into that kind of content either. You don't need a high-end setup but if you regulary deal with lags to the point that it gets you killed, going into endgame content isn't a good idea. Escpecially not via PF. If you static is okay with you regularily failing mechanics and dealing less dps because of lags, that's their choice.
    There are enough mechanics out there that get others killed or even wipe the whole raid if you mess them up for whatever reason, wether its lag or brainlag doesn't matter. Dead is dead.
    I skipped almost a whole expansion of raids in WoW because my hardware was so outdated I had lags in every single raid after the Legion update. Of course I didn't like it but that's the way it was and I would've been a liability in a raid.

    It would be nice to have a built in parser in the game, but it only shows your parse. No one else's parse. I use stone sea sky, but it's limited because it doesn't do mechanics for the fight you're practicing for.

    Lag? Hardware?
    Lag has nothing to do with hardware, it amazes me most the ammount of likes you have showing how misinformed people are.
    Here I am, Ryzen 5 3600 + 5700 XT and I have lag.
    Why? Because I live in Argentina, Buenos Aires. I have the best internet provider with Fiber Optic and I still have a ping of over 300ms. Nothing will fix that.
    What are you going to do? Kick me out from playing and enjoying the game just because I won't function as you decided I will? I can still do mechanics my own way, I have to dodge stuff 2 seconds into the future but somehow I manage after training.

    There's more causes for lag than just the network, though that's often the worst offender. Some input devices have lag (particularly wireless ones, though there's good wireless devices too). A poor GPU can cause lag since it takes longer to render frames and you see the results of events from the server later (20 fps can add about 33 ms of lag compared to 60 fps). If you run the game from a HDD instead of an SSD, loading new assets may cause lag spikes.

    Can you keep up your DPS and meet the requirement for the fight despite having to future-dodge stuff? If you can, then it's fine and I don't have any complaints.

    Woah, chill...
    One might think I just insulted your whole bloodline, sheesh.

    True to an extend, though "lags" as an excuse gets thrown around so casually whenever something goes wrong and even for issues that have nothing to do with connection. And just for the record, poor hardware can, at the very least, contribute to lags or cause freezes. Different issue but the result is the same for the player: they see and react to mechanics later than others - usually too late.

    Whatever it is that keeps you from performing decently doesn't matter. Wether it's lags, hardware, hamster on your keyboard, finger in your nose... it doesn't matter. If you are, for whatever reason, not able to perform decently enough for the content you're tackling, you shouldn't go in there. Knowing about issues and still going into raids without informing others of the issues and asking if they're cool with it is asshole behaviour.
    If you can play the mechanics correctly with lags, good on you and welcome to the team. Care to remind me where exactly I said that you can't join even if you CAN play every mechanic correctly?
    But if you can't play decently then your fun and enjoying the game isn't more important than that of 7 other people. And I'd like to see you convince me otherwise.

    And I love how you try to twist it around so it makes me look like an egoistic elitist who would exclude you out of pure spite when it's a simple fact that many boss mechanics require precise positioning and timing and messing them up doesn't just kill you but probably the rest of the raid aswell.
    This isn't about what I think you should do. This is about the content requiring a certain reaction time and gameplay to successfully complete. And "B-b-buut... my pc/ connection is bad! I can't help it Q.Q" isn't going to change that. The boss doesn't care about why someone couldn't make it in time. The result for the raid remains the same. If it's not a recurring thing, no worries.
    But I had plenty of people in my parties who only cared to mention that they're playing on a potatoe pc after several wipes they caused by not being able to move their butt in time. THIS is egoistic. Not expecting decent hardware/ connection OR the ability to deal with it accordingly and decent gameplay.
