Dps meters

[Goji1639]

I like DPS meters, but MMO communities suck so we can't have them.

There are better ways to handle this, though. SE's current stance basically just places people who play on console at a severe disadvantage when doing content that requires any kind of optimization.

Just add an official parser that lets you analyze ONLY your DPS, but won't show you anyone else's.

I had a call from Dancers and they said NO

lol, it's not like Dancers wouldn't get ANYTHING out of analyzing their own DPS; and they can just use threat to pick a Dance partner.

Personnal dps metter that you can only compare to a "ghost" of average/highest dps for same job/fight, possibily also to your best previous performance.
that would do the trick regarding optimization.


Either way I don't care, FFXIV community is cool, care bears compared to other games (league of legends? )

That's so ridiculous. Why should people have to resort to using the threat list when a perfectly reasonable option already exists? Nobody should be playing a job like dancer or even AST without running a damage meter. Like it or not, cry about it or not, that's a fact. If you play a job that is based around buffing other players, then you'd best know who is doing what damage. Sticking your head in the sand and saying "just use threat hurrr" doesn't change that.

I don't have any problem with people using their "don't ask don't tell" meters, but plenty of people don't have access to them. If SE included a personal parser that doesn't show you anyone else's DPS for console players, or PC players who don't want to use illegal third party software, then classes like Dancer can still EASILY just use threat to pick a Dance partner. You don't need a parser for that at all.

Try actually reading what I'd been saying/responding to and getting some context before throwing out weird, antagonistic responses.

Didn't mean to upset you, bro. I forgot where I was and accidentally spoke like an adult. It won't happen again.

As a console player I don't think I am really at a disadvantage when it comes to optimizing. Just run with pc players that parse and upload to that certain site. Even if you are pugging chances are someone in that group will upload the logs. Then go look over your logs and look where you can improve.

Dps meters aren't really that useful during the fight, when it comes to optimizing . Yeah sure you can see your numbers and see where you stand in the group. But they shine the most, after the fight and you are looking over the fight asnd breaking your rotation down, and seeing if you clipped somewhere, or you held a CD to long or your rotation falls apart during a certain mechanic etc.

Console players are not at a severe disadvantage and I doubt you could ever tell who plays console vs. PC unless they mentioned it. A huge portion of this community play on PS4 and PS4 Pro and do just fine, so I think maybe you should stop thinking we are some poor, horrific playing POS.
