FFXIV-APP Per fight damageFollow

Hey, sorry having a problem understanding the app.

Right now the way It seems to work is, I attack an enemy it says say 400 DPS, I wait 20 seconds attack another enemy now it says 20 DPS because it treated it as tho I was in combat the entire time.

How can I make it reset after each encounter or if the only way is to tab out and reset is there something else I can do to make it work better?

Thanks in advance

Actually, on bosses everyone does enter the fight at the same time. As soon as the boss is pulled, the party is put into combat with it.

This is probably another disadvantage of having to use an outside program to do this rather than an addon. XIVApp is limited to what it can pull out of the combat log. Still, it should be possible to break multiple fights into segments and then parse each segment individually without having to reset everything in between fights.

You can change the reset criteria of the parser. In parser go to settings -> other.

Scroll down and look at "Story History Interval" and "Store History Event Trigger"

If you set it to seconds * 1000, (15000 is 15 seconds) and "Damage Only" It means that if no action is done for 15 seconds that causes damage it will reset the parser and store that parse in the drop down menu as a history item.

I really wish they would add the option in-game of at least being able to parse your own dps and accuracy. I personally don't care where I rank amongst the others, I know where my dps should be and I would like the option to hone it on my own time. I think that is plenty fair.

The crash test dummy in the front lawn of the fc house has so little hp that I cant measure my output effectively without a parse. The bar rolls over faster than I can count it, and without going back in to the battle log and doing manual long hand mathematics (which is just unreasonable and the log is too short), I'm pretty much in the dark.

I think the whole reason why they didn't include the ability to parse in-game was potential grieving against other players, but if you only had the option to parse yourself, you can only really grieve yourself... If you look in the pvp stats output screen, they already have the technology in place to record dps. Seems like a logical step to make it available on the game, because currently I am on ps4 and I have to take myself off of mute so my stupid plumble app on my cheap walmart samsung phone can chop up my voice while I'm asking my static for my numbers.

Let's expand that, actually. I'd like to see breakdowns of how each stat affects my character.

How much crit chance% is a point of crit worth? How much hit% is a point of accuracy worth? Ratings are meaningless without parsing.. but why is that step necessary?
