Parsing unfair but okay?

[FlareVyzar]

Don't take this post to be against parsing in any way, but there's a lot wrong with this.

If you're green/blue you're doing something rotation wise wrong - Or you're playing perfectly but you're behind in gear. Maybe you're not using pots, and in pug runs some people don't want to waste them. Or someone killed you by failing a mechanic, since collateral damage is common in high end content. Or if you're a healer, perhaps your coheal is foisting all the GCD healing onto you.
If you're constantly grey, you're doing something wrong. - Combine factors from above, such as being behind in gear and someone failed a mechanic and took you out. Granted, this wouldn't be constant like being behind in gear would be for a while.
If you're purple you're close and just need to fine tune and keep practicing - Still might be playing perfectly and even geared, but you're in an off-meta comp
If you're orange or above, congratulations, you're now mastering your job. - No. You did your rotation perfectly, but maybe you've been doing that all along. Orange means you're playing in a meta comp with lots of raid buffs and you got good crit RNG on top of that. Congratulations, but mastering your job is only a prerequisite - getting orange requires much beyond that.

This post is why I wish more static recruiters would look deeper than just glancing at the ranking...

About this... normally we will never look at parses without someone being BiS. Parses are only looked at when BiS. Otherwise it is fine to be on the green side. Grey is still not good as you are able to still hit high greens with min ilevel gear even when people are bis.

As for purple/orange, there is no such thing as needing to play in a meta comp group. We are not in SB anymore. It is debatable for heavy rdps reliant jobs to not get their orange when others are performing extremely low but it is not that huge to make a big diff of a 95 to a grey.

At the top parsing level. We do not rely on "crit rng" to get 95s. For 99s, yes we do. Players who are trying to get 95s with crit rng are not really considered to be 95% as they are very inconsistent with their damage. These players never make it on speed kill level due to that.

Getting 95s is extremely easy in non parse, farm parties, clear parties. I get some 99s sometimes even in those parties, so that is definitely possible.

Other than that, "mastering your rotation" is not something we really emphasize on for 95s. Because you can play suboptimally , make a lot of rotation mistakes and still 95 very easily. Mastering rotation is something we aim at 99s.

The gap between 95s and 99s is as big as a mid purple and an orange would be or more.

Have a good day.
