Inevitable Job Simplifications?

"Nah, fam. I play my class well without any outside source. Lol who needs balance, just use common sense hurrdurr" even though you can definitely do pretty well by just reading tooltips.

Tooltips are not an outside source! Outside sources are things like wiki's guides and forums.

And they arent always good as a source. A lot of people believe in certain things to be the right thing even if they arent.

If you only have 85% uptime consistently, yet you rarely ever wipe. You are still doing something right. And maybe that is the part that you arent the one to die often. Uptime doesnt consider all methods of consistency in it, yet they can matter more. If your uptime is normaly 100%, but certain boss mechanics targeting certain areas causing you to die, and that is pure RNG, then you are still less efficient. A single duty is not going to reveal someones general performance.

And then there is also the part that some people play while drunk, which can reduce efficiency as a result. But even there, the way they compensate can matter a lot. Most content is designed for casual play, and therefor does support such behaviour.

Even i play leviathan extreme while having some drinks for fun. I might be slightly less efficient in damage, but that fight is mostly about avoiding deaths as a group anyway, at which point damage is just something automatic.

I never claimed that tooltips are an outside source.

And are we really using "Well, some people play drunk" as an argument? You completely missed the point. Or rather every single point in my post and read things into it I never said, on the contrary.
