Easier to adjust the amount of healers you have tbh.
If every healer is like green parsing youre prolly running too many healers.
More healers means the total healing is distributed among that many healers, reducing the amount of healers means the same damage is being split with less people which increases your HPS.
You should be reducing healers and adding dps to make the fight faster as healing requirments lessen as the phase goes on.
Like why bring 6 healers if 3-4 can do the same job.
Just means you added 2-3 more dps which shortens the fight.
You get to the 95th and even up to the 99th percentile gearing full survival and just doing your rotation correctly not greifing your raid at all. Speaking as one doing just that and parsing that. There is quite a number of tanks esp pally tanks (flavour of the month) that donât even know the basic rotation and button mash taken as main tank since there a pally.
Hell alg 25 dying in phase 2 full survival gear has put me in the 95-97 parse range more than once as a pally tank. So no greifing your raid to raise your parse sure will raise it but you get a really good parse still by not doing that and just playing well. So you canât claim you got a bad parse since you âdonât greifâ your raid.
i honestly dont give a crap what anyones parses are. skills can be taught, attitude is forever. and yours clearly states your not a quality person, probably one of the doormats needing to feel important in a game lmao.
everyone? false, as already I dont care so not everyone cares. way to do there sparky, already disproved your generality.
with that attitude wouldnt want too lol
snarky and original, points to you chasing lol
nope, cant do it. when i hear stuff about parses all i hear is a nasally voice shining about missing a dps mark by .2 damage and someone needing to check their spreadsheet⊠lmao
I was raiding back on december clearing all the wotlk content in one night , tanking pretty easy and stuff, I came back and I havent been able to find a single guild either pug that allow me to raid because of logs, I cant have logs if I dont raid, so im excluded from everything but GDKP, that I can just afk and get gear⊠the state of the game is garbage to returning players.
Only in the sense that if youâre a good player you should be able to consistently put up good logs, but thereâs plenty of nuance that goes into it in the same way as healer parses can. DPS has its own versions of drop a healer or take unnecessary raid damage and youâll parse better type logic to apply.
I always like to point out that some fights become impossible to parse on depending on what some guilds do (or can do) or what others in your class get to do.
Prenerf KJ was a fight I never parsed well on because I was always doing shadow orbs while others pumped into boss. Mâuru was another example of guilds burning him so quickly and using minimal locks who got to AoE hard by comparison. And then on normal mode mim I never bothered with the adds that melted for us because the fight was a joke.
These fights are outliers though. If youâre a good player you can still get a decent parse on them and then do well on other fights as well. You just have to hope the people analyzing your logs can appreciate why you might not parse well on certain fights or consider what you are doing as part of progressing on the fight.
Parses are very hard to judge. Theyâre only going to be good if youâre in a good grp. For that reason I look for gs + logged kills then I check the grps average and if it sucks then I know it wont be a great representation.
From there you have to take a chance. If you have 24 good ppl and you need 1 more then youâll know pretty quick how good of a player they are.
People can cheese their way to 99 parses with ease. I know many people whoâve done it
The only contradiction about DPS parses is related to bloodlust and potions, and the quality of your group. If youâre with a good group and kill Kolagarn in 60 seconds, you had 75% bloodlust uptime and 50% haste pot uptime. Thus, if youâre already in a good group or guild, youâll kill Kolagarn in 43 seconds then come to the forums and trash everyone for their 2.5 minute kill, whilst cheesing with a Blade Flurry Assassination spec (mutilate>energy pool>envenom>mutilate mutilate>energy pool>envenom>repeat)
You very, very obviously care about parses. The vast majority of the WoW community places far less emphasis on parses than you do lmao.
How are you going to get 30 seconds of potion in a minute long boss fight?
I havenât done that at all, but ok. All I did was disagree with a guy that said nobody cares about parses and point out that typically people who say things like that are not performing well.
I donât consider using a cleave spec for a cleave boss âcheesingâ personally. Itâs just⊠better.
Itâs part of my enjoyment of the game. Is that a problem for you?
Your post history related to parses indicates a far more insidious nature than the one of innocence youâre claiming here.
You may play how you like in solved content and find self-esteem in it. I really couldnât care less. Iâd probably prefer it that you do. Your rather elitist air about it, however, indicates that youâre not finding quite as much self-esteem in it as you think you are.
Lmao youâre respeccing for DPS on a boss for rankings as Assassination while not comparing apples to apples in Assassination. Yeah, thatâs cheese
what are you even talking about my guy âfar more insidiousâ wtf
What else am I supposed to do with dual spec?
Even if it had nothing to do with the parse number, itâs just a WAY better spec to use for that fight. Why should I not use my dual spec for something like that? I donât PvP.
You can attempt to frame it as me disliking your use of dual spec. That was very clearly not the point I was making, though. âEven if it had nothing to do with parse numberââFirst of all, youâre the one who claimed to love parses and that theyâre enjoyable and important to you. So it has everything to do with the parse number. Secondly, this again demonstrates the flaw in parsing: youâre getting ranked as an Assassination rogue while not playing as such on that fight. Youâre flexing in the mirror over your 99 parse on a fight where youâre not playing remotely the same spec everyone else who youâre âcompetingâ against is.
Have you found a way to artificially inflate your numbers against other Assassination rogues on cleave fights in a logging system that just determines your spec based off of where you have the most points? Sure, and bravo for the deception, or what you may view as âa clever workaround within the boundaries of the systemâ. The fact is, youâre Blade Flurrying as Assassination LOL. At the end of the day, youâre competing in a 7th grade basketball game representing yourself as a 7th grader while having a clear advantage, much like the 14 year old who was held back a few years.
Again, this speaks to the cheesiness of parsing, where oneâs spec is considered only in the vaguest of ways and group dynamics/speed are king, while everyone believes itâs a fair comparison of player skill.
Iâll be respeccing Combat/Prep for that fight with Glyph of Preparation in the future then I can come flex on the n0obz with my 100% Blade Flurry cleave uptime, and theyâll wonder what theyâre doing wrong when in reality theyâre just playing as the should be and Iâm che3zin
Itâs not cheese when itâs literally just using dual spec to switch to a more effective spec for the boss.
It is an assassination spec lol itâs only 7 or 8 points different from the normal build.
I donât understand why itâs your problem whether I care about having good parses or not.
Again, youâre overlooking the fact that itâs just a way better spec to use for the fight. I have dual spec, Iâm not going to not use it to appease forum weirdos who think cleaving cleave bosses is a âcheeseâ strat.
If youâre doing more damage than everyone else by doing that, good for you. Thatâs literally the point of changing specs, not to get a parse.
For a really fast burn, locks actually usually got boned because they had to single target Mâuru.
This is the second time youâve intentionally attempted to reframe what Iâm saying into me having an issue with your desire to parse. Context matters, and this context was saying that a non-apples-to-apples parse isnât valuable.
Here comes the lawyer talk LOL. According to Warcraft Logs it is assassination. In reality, youâre not competing against rogues with the same spec or playstyle, not even remotely given the fact you have Blade Flurry up for almost half the fight. This is again why Iâm saying youâre riding a technicality into your pink parse, where youâre being put into a percentile with a spec that is totally different than what other âAssassination roguesâ are running.
You can keep playing the victim, but this has nothing to do with you, and everything to do with the cheesiness of parses.
Like I said once and Iâll say again, group speed/comp and the vague representation of specs make a massive impact on parses. If you like them and try for them, go ahead. But donât pretend Iâm angry at you for liking to parse when Iâm merely pointing out the very real flaws in parsing, which we must not forget is a percentile comparison. Beginning by dividing out Bloodlust would be a much more accurate way to judge DPS via parsing.
People obsessed with parses are annoying but at the same timeâŠif you parse blue or green on average, you do suck and you do not put efforts at all, too many of you in a raid is griefing HM progression imo.
If you took this personally that speaks to your own confidence levels or victimhood. Analogies are not personal attacks.
Elitist was a description of the general attitude of your posts with regards to parses. In fact, earlier, you were making personal attacks to a poor poster who simply disliked Parsing. Much more personal than my explanation of a comparison that is unfair using basketball.
This isnât a static comparison. Sure itâs the same gear, sure itâs the same basic rotation. Blade Flurry is a massive difference, and it is a different spec. To compare your DPS to that of the Assassination rogue in your guild who lacks Blade Flurry would be disingenuous. You might find whos spec performs more effectively, but you canât say who the better rogue is. Youâre not even the same type of Assassination rogue on that fight.
These all speak to the cheesiness of parses that I initially claimed and still readily stand by.
Why not compare my combat DPS to your assassination DPS when ranking parses? Why not compare against subtlety rogues too? Itâs still just combo points, poisons, and finishers. Nevermind the one or two buttons we have to press that make the difference, the MAJORITY of our toolkit is still the same.
Yeah, I donât remember exactly what they were doing, but it became evident with each passing week parsing in a typical guild was impossible. My best parse was first kill and I never saw it again. They probably werenât burning fast so much as letting only letting a few of them AoE.
And thatâs where parsing can get a really bad rap. I get itâs fun to do but itâs not always a direct correlation to skill. Imagine if warcraftlogs didnât pull out tricks damage; itâd change the whole name of the game. And for casters we do have to deal with getting PI or not since they canât unmath it.
