Damage Meter, how to get if you want?

You realize in rift people had 3rd party parsers from day one that ran out of game right as they do for swtor right now. Just because a game dosent allow mods dosent mean people dont have 3rd party apps running.

I love the generalization here. I've been playing MMO's since BBS's had games like Tradewars2002 running on them.

Never personally used a damage meter. Been in guilds where they have been used by the guild leaders. I always learn my characters well. I've never been told my characters were not pulling their weight. Oh wait no, once I was because I had forgot to switch out weapons. Once the weapon was switched out, my character was running to spec again.

It's a matter of difference between a person actually KNOWING how to play their characters well and understanding why certain builds do certain things, and a person who doesn't know anything but what they are told through a damage meter, and not knowing why a certain build handles a certain way. Simply can't understand that usually.. though some can.

Personally, I see damage meters as crutches. People have become crippled by their use and simply can't see how to play without them, and that is WHY I personally do not use them... yet every character I have ever played has always scored well when the fight was broken down by a guild leader. maybe not tip top, but well within needs.

But then I am also a different breed of player. I take the time to learn my characters through and through, by experimenting with different builds and equipment.

However if people feel they need a crutch to learn how to build or maximize their characters.. why deprive a cripple of their tools right?

Now.. if you want to actually have a discussion instead of snarky responses.. I suggest you bring your attitude in check and start acting like an adult. Otherwise, all you will get in response back from people, is snarky childish responses in response to your snarky childish responses.

Its not a crutch, actually its far from it. It allows you to do thing faster than sitting there for hours paying constantly to respec. It also allows you to find out who is actually at fault when everything breaks down. It prevents the blame game in guilds and grps and lessens drama.

Those must have been some top raiding guilds you were in...

I apologize heat of the moment type deal. I have limited time to play, but when I play I want to know that the least amount of hiccups are going to disrupt that. That includes bad players who Quote " Just wanna have fun oh girls just wanna have fun"

So basically what you're saying is that you don't use them... You just rely on other people to use them for you. You're such an awesomely skilled player that you didn't even know what weapon you were using until someone else told you that your numbers were too low. How did they know that, I wonder..?

Maybe... Just maybe... THEY USED A METER!!!

i do, but it was not like everyone were using the tools, the population that uses parser's/addons for dps in rift is still really low

You want a damage meter? Hate to say this but, go back to WoW.

This is not the game your looking for :P
