Would you be opposed to SE implementing a program to scan for addons/parsers?

This thread is embarrassing to read. Anyone trying to do Ultimate content without a dps meter will never beat it, let alone clear the Savage tier required for it.

There is no feedback from the game thay tells you that you aren't meeting the necessary damage to clear the content.

So why do people who don't care about their damage would be interested in raiding in the first place?

Most of these "3rd party tools should be banned" posters are witch hunting and looking for attention.

Also saw some console players getting salty? PC is an open platform, consoles are not. They are closed environments that don't allow modding or unofficial tools because they don't know if it'll effect their system's performance/platform being sold to children.

uh? Sounds like cope. Here is how you know if you are failing because of dps: you cleanly handle all mechanics and understand fight, yet die to enrage timer. The enrage timer is literally the in game feedback that tells you you're not doing enough dps.

How far will people go to defend their use of performance enhancers?

Also, since you say it's impossible to clear savage content without damage meters, you are admitting to using them since you've cleared savage content countless times? Or are you some god gamer that does things you tell others are impossible?

And then comes the fun part: you're in a group of 8 people. Now how are you going to tell who needs to work on their dps and who is already doing fine?
Aggro list is absolute shit for it and you know it.

Balance rotations are calculated with ACT. Everyone who ever looked up a proper rotation and uses it that is either directly posted on Balance or copy-pasted from there into some guide does in fact rely on ACT because that is how they are calculated in the first place. They don't pull them out of their arses, they calculate them with the help of parsing tools that give them accurate numbers instead of wild guesses and feelycraft which so many people here seem so fond of.
"Oh, I *think* I've been doing great just now, gonna post that on Balance as the new go-to rotation!" - not how it works, mate.

And yes, I rely on ACT and at least indrectly profit from it and I have no shame admitting it.
Because while there's nothing to look up for SCH in terms of rotation (just... Broils), I learned everything about both the best core rotation, the different openers and all the non-standard lines for BLM from there and regularly used that knowledge in endgame content. I'll not pretend that I just read a few tooltips and then knew the ins and outs of that class while the people on The Balance spend many, many hours pouring over charts, rotations and logs, let alone that I improved while practicing without regularly plugging my results into xiva. I'm not that arrogant.
