    I just think parsing makes people feel important, but what parses don’t show is that without those other mages stacking winters chill and the other warlocks putting on curse of elements and curse of shadow or the WF totems or whatever other example you want to give you wouldn’t parse anyway. It takes more than just that one person to parse and I think that gets overlooked.

      @skipdk Před 4 lety

      I mean but parses do show all of that. Buff uptimes are shown in warcraft logs pretty easily. I can agree that for healers parses mean nothing but for dps it's directly tied to the success of the raid. More dps across the board = faster boss kills.

      ofcourse thy get overlooked thats just the nature of it. in retail some chinese guilds are stacking kyrian boomkins because they get a power infuse ability, even tho the druids lose a ton of personal dps by going kyrian. its behind the scenes work but the guilds that do these things understand the value and appreciate them.

    Yup! I play priest and when we do chromag, I am constantly dispelling diseases and magic off our raid, I always have a mage blood up, and I also have the most expensive trinket in the game (blue dragon) which allows me to get even more dispels, I use demonic runes and major mana. I get the most dispels in the raid. Guess what my healing parse is for chromag? Less than 10%... it’s absolutely reeeetarded!!!

      We have a priest that stands in the fire on magmadar heals himself and constantly uses power word shield on the tank on cooldown. So his rotation is pws stand in fire spam flash heal himself waits for weakened soul debuff on tank to go off uses another pws then continues spamming flash heal on himself to get a 99.

    Great video and content. I recently joined a friends guild that has a hardcore T1 and a more casual but still not "casual" T2. I only recently came back to classic and dinged 60 on my rogue, then got myself mostly pre-bis'd and came along to a T2 MC clear. My parse was really good for my ilvl, and I outdps'd a lot of really well geared people, but as you highlight, a lot of that was due to world buffs and consumes. So in order to stay "competitive" whilst being under-geared compared to the rest, I'll have to constantly grind out gold/time for consumes - which is frankly not why I came back to classic, I done enough of that first time around in vanilla. I wish it was all just simpler again, I'd far prefer a run that takes 15-30mins longer with no consumes than having to spend multiple hours a week to get only very small incremental speed gains on already optimised runs.

    dps parses depend on 20% personal skill (rotation, chromaggus/firemaw etc tactics), 20% worldbuffs & consumes & gear, 50% tank gear and skill and 10% RNG (crits and hits).No matter how godly your gear is and how perfect your rotation is and youre fully worldbuffed and consumed to the max, if your tank has mirahs song and shield, deep prot and he is dogshit, there is absolutely no way you will parse higher than playing with a DW furyprot with thunderfury. thats why imo its super super important to pimp out the tank ASAP because you, as a DPS scales the hardest with tank skill & gear

    Dagger rogue here and I completely agree with you. I live for the stuff where I'm the rogue in raid that interrupts Great Heal on Zealot Lor'Khan or the bat boss in ZG and I have to work Kick into my rotation, and I do, because it's what the raid needs at that time. Otherwise they'd heal and it would things a little more difficult, since we're more casual and aren't as geared as hardcore guilds are. I live for being the MVP, the guy that takes the orb on Razorgore. That shit's great and the more people you have willing to do that, the more it makes everything run better.

      It is hard in classic to play a spec that's good in both PVE and PVP.
      Sub it's really good in PvP but almost useless in raid. Combat is really good in PVE, but you miss out on powerful effects for PVP.
      Ultimately if you do want to play both, combat daggers does pretty well in both, and seal fate daggers can do well also, but that spec needs more gear.

    100% agree, the only real important things are raid time and raid DPS. All raid members should on this which included tactics, doing valueble things(CC in time, positioning, do not pulling aggro, etc). Also gearing tanks at first increase possible aggro pull which leads to increasing maximum possible personal DPS. With a poor tanks DD in bis could waste their time while tanks gathering enough aggro as example.

    For my guild, the parsing meta has been hugely beneficial. Back in October, nobody cared about getting worldbuffs, nobody cared about dps or even getting the most out of their char. The results were long and tedious raids that no one really enjoyed. Now people try to play on the edge as much as possible, actively cooperating to get the best out of a party composition to show off they can actually outperform other / certain players. It's been a huge motivator in general to optimize our play, giving players something else than "FAT LEWT" to raid for.

    Vanilla wow is all about time commitment. Old style mmos were ingenious because the time gating was everywhere to get you to play for longer artificially which means more subscription months. What the endgame in vanilla boils down to is 99% prep and 1% execution. There's mostly 1 best way to do the boss and you do the same thing every time, just expecting different loot. People have been playing this for 15 years. We know how to get max dps by no lifing and tryharding, so it's not really an achievement for people to be top parses, because you are either playing efficiently or not. It's just sad that this kind of culture has emerged and take the game so seriously, as if their entire life worth is riding on their dps.

    Maybe you don't worry about it cause your parses are very good anyway. Me on the other hand I just started back WoW a week ago on a feral druid, ran BFD for the first time (got kicked out of the first group before it even started for some unknown reason, maybe cause I had no logs) and after I looked at my logs and I feel like a total POS. The first boss was my best parse and it was only 47 (green) and my ilvl compared to my gear was 73%. Now looking at these parses people aren't going to want me to group with them and it sucks for me cause I am still learning my class and literally made druid 3 days ago so I'm still learning. I miss the old days where this stuff never existed and people just had fun. We killed all 7 bosses and the guy said GJ at the end but I still feel like shit looking at my parses..

    I think you are misrepresenting what top parses actually mean. No one is getting a top parse without the contribution of the rest of the raid. Your parses will change drastically based on the kill time of the boss. When boss kill speed gets faster, the smallest mistake in your rotation, cd usage, or uptime will mean the difference between a 99 and a 95. You can use that difference in parses to pick out a fight where you need to go to your log and see what you messed up. You'll also see that the left column is everyone's parse on that boss. You want to look to the right where it shows your parse compared to others of similar gear level. If you are parsing lower for your gear level than the overall parse then you have room to improve your itemization or execution. I wouldn't dismiss parsing like you do. Help these people understand what the usefulness of parses are and how they can be used as a tool to improve your play.

The title of your video should be "I don't enjoy Parsing Culture in Classic Wow."

      None of the consumes you mentioned are necessary, and will not change the outcome of killing the boss. I understand you might enjoy going for parses, but nothing you're doing is it actually the difference between killing the boss and not.
      I don't care if hardcore speedrunning Guild cares about parses, but the parse culture has spread to more than just hardcore guilds. In a casual Guild, or even semi hardcore Guild, why would you want to reward people for essentially wasting money on non-essential consumes?
      People determine players worth based on their parses. I think parsing is a big contributor to the elitism in the classic wow community.

      What about in AQ, when the raid has wiped and the buffs are gone. For progression, trying to kill these hard bosses for the first time, will you have elemental sharpening stones? Will you have elixirs to pop and potentially lose multiple times during progression? At that point, it's not wasted money, it's being used for progression.

    • @Zatar
      @Zatar  Před 4 lety +1

      This assumes that you would be failing to progress because of DPS / healing checks. When in reality, the mechanics are what will cause the wipes. You can chug as many elixirs as you want, but if you are wiping at 50% because of failed mechanics, the elixirs are not going to help.

    if u play classic for a long time u want to get better. i know there are a ton of ppl who dont care how they play but im not such a player, if i spent alot of time into something i do not want to suck at it. parses are important to have information about how have u played and where u messed up to keep improving. also u can see there if u messed up or otehr factors hold u back. Most ppl who hate parses have low ones and dont wanna get called out for bad play (i dont point on you i know u are not bad but u know what i mean). So i play classic now for the 6th time and if i dont parse what else should i learn or do i know every fight in and out aand can do the raids in my sleep. also parsing is a group effort u cant parse alone so it makes your raid stronger if everyone put some effort in into playing a boss better than last week. noone says eevryone has to top parse or speedrun but getting better should be a goal of any palyer or raid and logs helps alot with that. What if your raid plays the bosses flawless what do you do now? bored doing chilled 80 parse every week? sry thats way to boring for me. btw u are selfish if u dont put the effort in that others do i your raid they have also make some sacrafices to do so why should you not? if u play in a casual raid where noone give a f than ofc u are free as well. but i see at least 30 raids on every big server that are more tryhard if u are in such a guild there is nothing wrong with pushing the limits we are just to bored playing classic so often and just do half gas every week thats a waste of time for me. problem is most ppl havent played on pservers so they want their 15 year old meta again or they feel bad. but times has gone further in 15 years and the meta has shifted to a more competitive scene. ppl who cant understand that are just sad but that brings not back classic as it was 15 years ago. we play a supernerfed and over itemiced version of the game with absolutly no challange so ofc ppl will look for a challange so they parse or speedrun. if ppl have fun doin 2h mc and bwl runs where everyone does green and blue parses just to be happy when they save a bossfight cause ppl did play bad in the 1st place then its up to you its just not my cup of tea. if ppl play shitty it takes away from my fun. do you think messi have fun playing soccer with a bunch of ppl who dont give a f bout soccer and play how they want? and then you say to him "its just a game w u hev to be so tryhard?" parserers need to stop hating on casuals and casuals need to understand that other ppl have no fun in playing in a raid where ppl do retarded stuff all day. easy as that. start connecting instead of dividing thats my solution. we dont have to be in the same raid there are enough raids for every playstyle u want.

    I disagree, I think 4 5 and 7 are the same thing, as well as 6 in a sense, as you can min max your gear without getting decked out in raid. For example, friend of mine switched his main and brought his full pre bis mage (dungeon loot only) in BWL and beat all but our top mage. He parsed in the high 80s and low 90s with 99 iLvl parses. This was because he came prepared and had the skill and knowledge to use what he needed to when he needed to, he brought a fire resist set and didn’t have to step out for firemaw blah blah blah. The other thing is another friend of mine is in a hardcore guild and they all regularly parse 99 BECAUSE all of those players are going for parses. Everyone is on the same page, everyone tries their best and come prepared so they all do well. 1 person slacks and it effects the raid. If you don’t care about parsing that’s ok, you can have fun and play the game how you want of course, just be in a guild where that play style is fostered.

    the excuse for not parsing well came down to what, your guild being shit and not knowing mechanics? you're kind of doing your guild a disfavor and making fights take longer by not doing as much dps as you can

    • @Zatar
      @Zatar  Před 4 lety

      Sure you can make a generic statement like not doing as much DPS as possible is doing your guild a disfavor. The problem with that statement is to what end?
      Have you ever stepped foot in a raid without full bufs and consumes? Are you allowed to play a suboptimal spec?
      Of course it's a grand idea to always try and do as much DPS as possible but everyone has limits on what they are willing to do.

    • @mcfry13
      @mcfry13 Před 2 lety

      Parsing on your own terms is fine if that's what you play wow for and if you are in a hardcore guild. It gets toxic when you try an force others to parse when they just want to have fun and play their way. I'd rather play with a mix of people. Some that obssess with parsing and some that just play for fun and know the mechanics so they can survive the fights even if they don't put up the highest number.
      It's good to get a solid rotation and have as many buffs as possible, but sometimes people min max the fun out of a game. I'd never ask anyone to be perfect, just know your class, know your roll in the fight, and have fun. Doesn't matter to me if we kill the boss in 2 minutes or 5 minutes as long as we kill the boss.
