Logblind players/guilds will struggle to find people, and the people they do find may or may not serve them for long. Not playing with these people is not a loss for you. You’ll find more likeminded players or realize blizz is exploiting the server population problem through server transfer fees.
Logblind players will find a bias logging system that rewards them for being selfish and punishes them for working as a team.
And thats why its a problem, it divides the community and puts selfish players on a pedestal and puts down teamworkers.

Meh, video kinda trash.
He makes points by saying things that only apply to 1% of raid teams and tries to generalize it by applying it to basically everyone.
Like the Guardians on Yogg, they need to get low health, which is why they count but guilds aren’t focusing them on average they are cleaving them.
The cats also get cleaved down except they are less important. The big cats at the start do count as a parse.
You’re parse is a damage comparison for players of your spec and 99% of those people play normally and the 1% does the cheese stuff he keeps bringing up.
Also kill times do after but matter less than people think. Which is why you can take 2 99 parses for the same spec on the same boss and they could be over 60 seconds apart in kill time.
Also tricks is a parse increase because the boss dies faster.

One time during Vanilla Classic I was the only rogue to show up for BWL. The RL was worried about traps during Broodlord Lashlayer until I voluntereed to just sit on traps all fight. I didn’t DPS the boss at all. My parse was ruined for that week, but I didn’t care because the success of the group was more important than personal numbers on a 3rd party site.

Unless you have like 10 warlocks and 10 rogues to tricks them, tricks is not making a meaningful impact on fight length.

But yet you selfishly play a meme spec and take weapons from classes that can put em to better use. Dude wants Voldrethar as a meme spec… LOL. What’s next? Smourne? Stop pretending like you care about your raid team, you’re even more selfish than the people you’re trying to call out.
Sure but it’s also not going to make a meaningful impact on your DPS as a loss
It’s better for personal dps to never use tricks.
Nobody is saying that but it’s such a minor loss that it’s irrelevant
In my guild rogues tricks the tanks. Warlocks are doing enough damage as it is and more threat on the tanks means DPS can start ripping sooner.

nobody actually cares about logs, just don’t do crap dmg lmao
Just stop. 2h unholy isn’t a meme spec, it’s literally what every unholy DK played in OG WotLK.
Pre-pull tricks is effectively free, every rogue should be doing tricks on pre-pull. But it does lower personal dps to cast it mid fight. 30 energy (2 casts) is half as much energy as our dps cooldown (Vanish) gives us.
My guild has 2 MDs and 3 tricks so I feel pretty safe using it on a warlock sometimes. And a single cast of tricks pre-pull on a warlock can do 300 dps or more since Corruption never falls off.
I don’t know if I would call it a meme spec because it probably capable of doing much more dps than those specs, but it is just a worse version of unholy for no tangible benefit.

Kill times are huge. If a scrub finds his way into a killsquad group, his parses are going waaaay up. Even tho he did NOTHING different on his end.
Why even rely on the logs if it has a chance to give you someone who padded their logs being carried?

The very rogue posting in this thread who is a 99.1 parser.
https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/reports/nDVGRwN8K2CFf7da#type=casts&boss=-3&difficulty=0&source=44
49 tricks casted.
Surely it’s destroying his parses and he should stop immediately.
These are his most recent logs for this week.
Not true.
You can literally see boss kills and 99 parsers are sometimes 90 seconds apart on kill speed.
He literally just made a video about how he thinks parsing is a problem because it encourages selfish behavior in a team environment. So yeah, he uses tricks. Nobody said you can’t parse with tricks. It’s still inarguably better for your individual parse to not use it. That’s kind of the entire point he was making.
The fact that it is possible to get good parses on worse kill times does not mean that kill time is not a large factor in parsing. Having Lust for 40% of the fight instead of 20% is, uh, large.
Meh, my rogue’s gear is garbage but I still tricks the tank. I figure more threat on the tank can never hurt.
if threat isnt a problem you should just use ur energy for bit more dmg cus at that point dmg is more important than threat to the success of a boss
