first!!
parsing has way too much of a negative connotation around it, more people should be open minded about this topic while being friendly towards others. its not a competition against each other, its a great tool for personal growth! this is a very good video, thank u!!
My fflogs is private BECAUSE I'm stuck on console at the mercy of rando uploads and have no control over it :/ Rarely a flawless run gets uploaded
What is the hat with goggles he is wearing in the intro?
I don't really understand why people care about how much damage they do or why people feel it necessary to improve this function of their character. I always thought damage rotations were straight forward enough that you do them in a certain order over and over resetting from opener to gap fillers in sequence with the fight.
I'm glad you said it's all about self improvement. Good tips, thanks!
You’re videos are really well edited and informative! As a new player trying to get into raiding I appreciate this, subbed!
If it is really only about self improvement then why is it opt-out instead of opt-in? Or at least private by default? Why does it allow people to upload and view others performance for "self improvement" before they even know a online database like that even exists? An average to compare to would be enough for people to judge their own performance. It seems clear that ff logs wants to be used for more toxic things.
if you can kill stone sky sea dummy, you're 100% can't kill the real thing.
you will need some geared players to pad the dps check.
"This is hypothetical" and "This helped me improve"… 🧐🤥
Question why put video use act on YouTube?
My question;
If a console player can clear virtually anything the game offers.
Whats is the point?
Thanks for informing me on the opt out feature, i think ff logs should be opt in only but eh, at least opting out is easy
My first savage tier was Asphodelos and I went through the entire thing not knowing what parsing even was, but I thought I was pretty decent at my job.
Little did I know I was a gray gamer across the board.
I'm a pf hobo anyways so it matters little who sees them, but I have to admit fflogs was instrumental in me striving to get good at the game and to stop being dead weight in my parties.
