Stowaways in High-End Content?

[Menriq]

Sigh. Why is it always the same? Just a cursory glance at the data provided by that "very flawed program" has shown me that:

- you often break combo.
- you often weave as many as six abilities between two GCDs. The maximum amount you should be doing is two, btw.
- you are not using your offensive cooldowns as soon as they are available and are losing quite a bit of uses.
- you are using your personal and group mitigation abilities very infrequently and let them sit unused for most of the fight (two TBN uses over an entire fight level of bad, btw).
- you are very rarely landing five GCDs in Blood Weapon. Sometimes even doing as little as three.
- your general GCD uptime is around 80-85%. Which means that you are simply doing nothing for about 1/5th of the fight.

I'm sorry, but your parses aren't grey because of "act being flawed" or bad gear. They are entirely the result of your poor play and simply not pressing buttons. And even if we were to ignore the damage part, your tanking is very far from stellar as well. I'm not surprised that a static leader would refuse you. For someone who wants to get rid of "stowaways" in high-end content you have definitely been skipping on that humble pie.

This is the second type of thing I've seen in the last couple of days. People blame the tool, but that exact same tool points out exactly what the issue is. People think they are playing perfectly, it's not them, and then when the actual data comes to light, the reason is pretty obvious. This isn't a knock, but rather proves the point that the tool can be extremely useful in helping you improve, which is the main reason a lot of those use it. This is one of the strongest reasons why SE should allow parsers, and keep the enforcement of harassing people. It wouldn't change the status quo of what happens now, but it would at least allow people to realize that maybe they aren't playing as well as they think they are.
