Nothing wrong with that. What most people have an issue with are the people who don't do that or don't want to do that and you watch them attack things with strength equal to a wet noodle.
No it doesn't. If you don't understand how those buttons fit together, you're essentially just following a flowchart, like I said, and I would assume this is where you run into a twofold issue with a lot of people who want to maximize uptime, no matter the situation (healers adjust), and the most common problem when it comes to logging parses, i.e., many people don't actually understand how to read their logs – all they know is "big number good, go up".
I really don't care if people are failing their rotation in most content though. As long as someone's always casting, avoids attacks and isn't doing a complete meme like ice mage I couldn't give less of a shit. I can't think of any jobs where the basics aren't obvious enough to get through a dungeon dealing adequate damage when DPS doesn't matter. The tooltips in this game are fine for casual content and more in-game tutorials won't help the retards that still fuck it up.
Outdated guide. Samurai doesn't use Hakegure outside of downtime realignments anymore. Also that doesn't say Tendo anywhere.
True, it isn't entirely the games fault, But the game is very wishywashy with the traits unlocking. A trait can either just be like a 10-20 potency bump.
Bear in mind my knowledge comes from Endwalker but I assume they didnt really change the job beyond giving it a shiny new capstone on top of apex arrows. (From a glance on the job guide, they really did just add an additional finisher for barrage lol).
The game's long overdue for a level squish and fundamental rework on how abilities are unlocked and not just because they had to stat squish multiple times just to keep the frankenstein engine from shitting itself due to massive numbers.
Not relevant to the point I was making, it's just an example.
Same, I got more than half way through DSR on SAM (first end-game content I ran with SAM) by following a guide, getting familiar with the rotation, and making adjustments on the fly when it came to boss disengages, phase changes, etc. Rotations in this game aren't so autistically complex that you need to know the ins-and-outs of every ability to be competent.
So you've moved the goalposts from casual players just learning their rotation to people parsing
First, I gave two examples of situations in which people don't actually learn how their Job plays just by following a rotation guide and stubbornly fall into really dumb habits that end up detrimental to their playstyle specifically because they blindly follow a rotation guide without accounting for adjustments.So you've moved the goalposts from casual players just learning their rotation to people parsing
See above: Rotations in this game aren't so autistically complex that you need to know the ins-and-outs of every ability to be competent.
if I don't get my australia with dragons I will riot.
Tanks: 10
My point was it's the fastest way to start playing the class. Getting experience hitting dummies and running normal raids is the most important part of learning a class and the guides get you there faster.
Only Primal Rend, (Primal Ruination?), Chaotic Cyclone, and Inner Chaos. It doesn't apply to Berserk/Inner Release guaranteed crit skills.
Nigger, I am trying to avoid dragging out this circular argument any further because you, yourself, keep shifting your own goalposts around, but you can't use "We're talking about casual content!" and then circle back to "Muh guides are better and more efficient than everything!" every time someone tells you "Nobody really uses this information outside of non-casual content."
Because you're wrong, dumbass
I was never able to perform at my best just trying to cold follow class/rotation guides.
