this is still useless. Aslong as u can't reach a high log without a PI. It's all useless.
You just start doing this until the community itself stop caring about these types of parses and this "padding" just dies off.It's like when you remove certain bosses from the rankings because they're just damage padding festival, at one point people don't even care about logs on said bosses anymore.In the end, it's actually useful for anyone trying to improve, but had to go through pages of logs looking for one that suits their reality.
Vote yes so I can cast PI on my friends and ruin their rankings. >:)
Cant wait to see people bragging out their "Rank 1 no exterals" parse.
The best part about PI has been seeing all the parsebrains seethe about it honestly. PI itself is an enjoyable spell and it's nice that Blizzard hasn't caved in to the idiots and removed it because "but muh parse :( "
Incoming anti-PI meta and paying priests to ruin someone's parse with PI
You’re not using PI to bring the lowest player up to par anyway. You’re using it on the best player that gets the most benefit from the haste. So now by removing the parse from comparison you’re theoretically removing some of the top players from those groups which only leaves weaker dps to compare to. It’s a double edged sword.
Might as well as remove timewarp from mages who cast receive it twice during a boss fight. Oh heck, let's remove all buffs... or better yet, just stop logging all together.I provide PI to just about everyone during a mythic+. I watch the damage meters and apply it as often as I can. The objective is to complete a mythic+ on-time and to advance. If I was in a raid the same objective applies. How the group gets there is up to the group. Why punish players because they are using utilities provided to their characters? This community has gone off the deep-end... seriously!
I don't think it is fair to remove players who received PI from rankings. I like the cap of 5 PIs as it is. I agree that it would be nice to see rankings with externals vs without externals. It would be nice to see how people do without heroism also.
When will blizzard give in and give the people what they want?Give all classes meaningful and fun buffs to apply to others in combat. PI sticks out like a sore thumb because its equal parts exclusive and impactful. The only things that comes close is windfury totem and the blessed return of Paladin Seasonal Blessings imo. You have to actively manage it and it gives a sizable boon to melee DPS. For Paladins they have a fun mini game of placing the rotating buff on whichever party member can benefit from it the most. That's fun gameplay to me.People love being useful and love to benefit from strong effects! Give in and just make them a part of what makes playing your class fun, which PI would be if it wasn't the only game in town and so centralizing.
why do we have to do this every tier since PI came back? Just list PI logs on a different leaderboard and call it a day. If people are already voting to show a different filter for PI logs, just go all the way. This is way overcomplicating something. PI logs are fine with Priest, if youre not a priest and you get a PI, your log is an external log and you can no longer say you have a r1 parse over people who got no externals. I dont get why thats so hard and so undesired.
