Console Players don't need Addons

I know, I'm just saying. Lets just not generalize people here in order to better your arguments.

I wasn't generalizing. Obviously the content is perfectly doable without 3rd party tools, but OP doesn't even do the content so in general his opinion is meaningless. The 3rd party tools don't even give any real major advantages from what I've seen. Its just a bunch of QoL stuff that should be in the game already like timers on the buffs/debuffs on the party list.

As a DPS you can generally tell where you stand by your rank on the enmity list. There isn't a need for exact numbers during the fight. I generally see parsers more often used by people trying to e-peen or using it to berate players that are below them on the parse.

1.) WTF? No you can't. I'm ALWAYS high in the enmity list right behind the tank in my static....but I also play samurai so of course I'm going to be way up that list compared to say the MCH in my static. The doesn't mean the MCH is doing bad DPS, but that is NOT a good gauge to see if you're doing well or not considering no matter how good a MCH player is they are never going to match the output of a SAM.

2.) I've never seen anyone ever in this game utilize parsers to berate players in this game. I know that's a stigma from WoW, but that just isn't a thing here because unlike WoW, players in FFXIV are actually afraid of the GM's. If you mention someones DPS in game you WILL get a suspension for harassment.

I used to play FFXI. Anyone familiar with that game knows about Windower

Wow that brings back some memories. I used to use windower just because FFXI was weird and would straight up close the game if you alt tabbed. If you didn't close out any of your instant messengers before starting up FFXI....you were very brave lmao. It only took one person to send you a message and ruin your day as the instant messenger box comes to the front of the screen and causing FFXI to close. Enjoy that 20 minute process of logging back in lmao.
