Running ACT you can see your dps numbers during the fight, sure, but that really does nothing for you in that moment. It's after the fight when the person running ACT uploads the logs and everyone can loom through them and break the fight down and see what they are doing second by second in the fight, that really matters. So along as one person in the group is on PC and running ACT, then the console players can also benefit from it.

The best thing about ACT is being able to upload logs onto fflogs because you can take those logs and paste them into xivanalysis to review what you need to work on. It shouldn’t be controversial to want to see specifically how you can improve your play, but as per usual of this forum people who never touch the content think they understand how it works, but they just don’t.
