And videos showing gameplay don’t actually provide DPS values so huge spikes might be misleading. These may not be perfect sources for what you desire but it’s untrue to claim there is no way to gauge performance. There are plenty of online sources to synthesize builds for other players to critique. But they are watching they have no idea what level of coordination and trust that actually takes and they want to go to PUG with that? If you are in that position you’re playing though, not watching, in GW2 that’s building your own builds, not watching videos, not being mesmerized by flukes or repeated runs that took hours and hours to get right for five minutes of amazing.

Because build value does fluctuate between encounters and even between solo and group play it’s really important that players don’t just sign up for what they see.īasically if you watch a professional sports player play you, the viewer at home, cannot actually conceive of how difficult it is to do the same thing if you, the viewer, are not in that position. That’s just how things go whether it’s PvP or WvWvW or PvE there are times when a build may just naturally do better in certain scenarios so the player thinks “this is awesome!” when in reality it is awesome some of the time against certain mechanics used by enemy X. Some builds are perfect counters to content. Skill doesn’t look so good when it took 168 real hours ( a week ) to actually shoot this because human error and someone dun goofed or even just a bad run of luck.Ģ. Everything going off perfectly looks natural with a skill level of godhood in a video that’s X minutes long and a world record. Second, video is the poorest source for most things partially because they can (and are) edited and partially because it’s almost impossible to chart behavior and damage because in real combat each match is different! Sometimes it won’t be you who gets one-shotted in that bad position and others it will, because remember that for world record runs it takes many, many tries even if you only see one video. You will think “I have done my best” and be satisfied but at times that satisfaction is false just like my buddy who thought he was awesome but was actually very behind. This tool already exist for a while and no toxicism caused, its mostly used for testing reasons for guilds.įirst, you can’t benchmark against yourself unless you believe there is something missing which naturally at some point you will not regardless of whether that is the best point or not. Also useful for new bosses, to find out better grp setup. And you can compare yourself with others, learn from them if they seems better. It can be very useful to check it out what you and your build (and rotation) are capable of. Thousands of players already using it, mostly for raids : build/grp setup testing. The algorithm (screenshoting your desktop and getting numbers from it, no file or memory access to gw2) used in it (should) not against ToS and also its opensource. There are many stats it can watch (combat time, activity, critchance, all dmg done, max dmg, avg dps, current dps, condi dps, have timeline graphs, and savable combatlog). One of them is capable for handling your group datas too (so it can be used upto 10 players, comparable datas eg. That solves the “claims are only claims” issue.Īs some of you mentioned before there are more 3rd party programs exist for measuring dps. Saying a DPS meter would be used to measure builds is fine, but I see no reason why you would need a group dps meter to do that, post your build, or make a video of it, with a personal DPS meter shown. Watching a video of someone doing something different =/= to a DPS meter. You do not need to know how everyone else is doing to improve your own personal performance. Personal performance is easily measured and marked without others being present.
Pretty easy, take note of what you are doing, make alterations and changes see how it compares, repeat and fine tune.
Those who profess that their builds are the best have no regulated way to measure them or competition from others. He revised.īy the way that is half the problem. Diablo comes to mind I had a friend who was content at GR38 and thought his build was awesome … until he saw a video of GR60+. You can’t possibly, for the most part, do better if you don’t know what is possible or where you stand. How do you benchmark your own performance if you cannot compare with others?
