I gotta strongly disagree with Xenedra. As someone whose disability keeps me from improving my skills past a certain ceiling, I really do not want an official parser being held over my head. I'm content knowing I shouldn't bother with savage and whatnot, but I want to feel like I'm allowed in normal content and not have to worry about being hassled just because I'm merely doing "okay".
XIV could outwardly be more lax on add-ons as far as I am concerned. I am curious to see how the UI improvements pan out as well.
I've only ran into one person complaining about my damage. Funny thing Is it wad in copperbell mines for my first run of it at lvl xD I told them to shut it
