Just let the viewers of the logs/rankings themselves decide. For example, at this point it's expected that Unholy DKs get PI'ed on pull. Any reasonable and knowledgeable viewer of the log isn't going to discount the ones where that happens, because competing to be the best non-PI'ed Unholy DK is ridiculous.
PI should have been changed to a priest only self buff with DF. It should never have been able to be cast on others imo.
More buffs like PI please. It is the way forward with helping people with their dps logs obsession. No longer is it enough to defeat the boss in front of you, you have to defeat all the other DPS, in all the other raids, in all the other pulls that they have been present. It is crazy and madness.
just make pi priest only, but its blizzard lol
Personally I don't care about "rankings" that much as a way to toot my horn to others. I care about rankings to figure out if I'm doing the right thing, and comparing my profile to others who are doing better than me to figure out what I can change. So if I'm not receiving power infusion, when I use the comparison tool to look at other profiles (or even the regular non-comparison ilvl parse percentage), I don't want to compare myself against those who are getting power infusion. Because what I _really_ do care about is gauging my own performance and seeing what I can change, and "get some power infusion" is hardly something I can buy on the auction house.
PI should only show in the logs if the priest cast it on himself.
The fact is "performance minded players trying to compare their performance to others" is the largest problem this community has. useless parselords who can't see the forest thru the trees. And by the way, this does not mean top end players. I got the term "parselords" from liquid max. Because guess what, the pros don't think like that. They see the big picture.PI is fine. External buffs are fine. The pathetic compulsion some players have to size up their e-peen is the problem.
No idea why this is such a hard issue. There should have been a filter long ago and thats the end of it.
Just have separated rankings. No "exclusion filter" or whatever. You're still putting people with PI above people without in the overall.
ok anyways remove PI and replace it with a blood lust please/or cast only on myself, I want all the Haste.its turbo cringe how one group leader barred me from entering his keys bc I failed his "PI Quiz", like I am some PI-Hooker distributing free PIs in the back alley. I should be charging these MinMax DPS players to be honest.do I look like a PI hooker to you, blizzard? MY SPEC IS MORE THAN POWER INFUSION, its sad how I am let in bc I have that one ability like it means something.
So much weird hatred in these comments. Parsing is fun. Leaderboards are fun. It's fun to compare your damage to others. It's all just fun. Raids contain people that care about rankings metagame and people that don't, and PI disproportionately affects those that do, so the tension is understandable; adding a filter is a decent way to compare yourself to other players under similar circumstances.
just do separate logs like option to show your log % with everyone who had PI and such buffs, and normal one for players without such effect that would be default.for e.g if you never had parses without PI then your PI phase would be showed on default compared to EVERYONE who had PI on themselves. As long as you dont have normal parse to be set on default on your logs
This is so pathetic XD
Most players that play DPS are doing it to do the highest DPS. That is a big part of the fun of being a DPS. Parses are there to show how good you are compared to everyone else. This is normal and it is what makes most people feel good. This is present everywhere. In physical sports, in most video games. You have Steam with achievements and telling you how many did that achievement. Logically, the one that asks for it and proves that it makes good use of it will get PI everytime and on cd. I have never been a 100 parser. I have been a few times in the 90s but most of the times 60-80s parses. I am not a sore bitter loser , nor do I have something up my ass to spoil everyones enjoyment just because I do not enjoy something. @Kyraellina: Bloodlust is a group effect. PI is a buff for 2 persons, if talented, for the Priest and one other. PI excludes. in a group of 30, 22 other DPS and in one of 20, 13 or 14 (depending on the composition). THAT is the problem to these people. They are bitter thinking they can do better with PI and question the judgement of the priests picking their targets. Which goes back to what I said above.......bitter sore losers that they are willing to get rid of what you enjoy if they cant have it. They are that girlfriend that seeks to !@#$ up your life because you chose to break up with her or, commonly known, narcisists. It is me, me, me. In a place where we all pay, which is not an argument to be have since it is as good of an argument as saying no one pays, to suggest to remove the enjoyment of someone else just because you are envious it is absolutely asinine (not you, you as in general).
And with this magic trick I make unholy DKs disappear
