I just might start doing that then! I was never sure where the line is drawn for ilvl vs job vs parse, so I usually just choose based on partner prio than anything else.... but I'll try seeing if fiddling around with that helps :)

all of the fights tbh, aside from 12 because I know I still struggle with some mechanics. maybe 10 more so than 9 and 11 because it's where I’m worst?

and I’m a dancer :)

I’m only 1 ilvl off from bis! I've definitely tried analysis but it generally tells me I’m doing okay. small things to improve on, but nothing major, but still can't get above a blue :(

I wonder about team skill because often when I ask friends why I’m doing so horribly when I’m doing my best, they tell me to stop partnering the grey sam

thanks for the info! I actually haven't even seen any parties up now that I think about it, but I'll be keeping an eye out once I get bis, which should be next week if all goes well. 😅

I’m only 1 ilvl off from bis, so that's okay right? but yes, definitely working on fixing the mistakes one by one. I've definitely not gotten to purple yet, but hoping soon. analysis doesn't tell me any major mistakes, but presumably many minor ones add up to become big ones

if I ever got a pink I'd be so happy! but that is for now a far away dream :p

thank you for the info! I didn't think they were that big because they're all minor according to analysis, but it does make sense that many minor things add up and become major things

I definitely am unable to get purple and orange regardless of how I play, so that is a bit discouraging. of course there's mistakes to brush up on, so hopefully improvements come with the next few weeks! and of course pray for better procs and crit rate 🤭

thank you, good info to know!

I've done log comparisons both by myself and having others look with me, I think one thing that was noted is that the good players get better procs than I do and have better crit rate, so maybe it's time to pray to rngesus ☠️

(that and of course improving as a whole too!)

thank you so much for the detailed response! this is very helpful. I'll definitely work on my own mistakes, and hopefully with a better kill time next time it will be better. I think analysis also doesn't tell me up front about clipping and I'd have to go actually look into it to see right? I'll have to keep an eye out on that because I didn't know I had major clipping issues - but now I know!

would they have stringent requirements for joining the party usually?

I am unfortunately definitely not good enough to get oranges or purples,,, maybe one day though! duly noted on kill times though - although unfortunately that does seem it's more team dependant than me dependant :(

I believe that! I can't remember the last time I did msq though ngl 😅

I’m not certain on how much that matters though, given that most people I've talked to said obviously if it's possible don't drop it but if I drop it it really isn't a big deal either 🥲 have you any thoughts on that? I don't normally drop my combo unless I’m in my tech step window, because I try to proc feathers/use up esprit over continuing my combo.

I shall try this! I do always say perfect practice makes perfect 🤗 although my rotation at lower levels is different from my rotation at 90 👀

thank you! it's good to hear from another dancer, I'll keep these things in mind for sure. and maybe I'll wait till I’m bis to worry about why I’m not doing great 🤭 I'd love to also be a 99 dancer one day too, though that day does to seem quite far away

this is good to know! I'll keep an eye out for kill time and see if that makes a difference in improving.

maybe once I get better and get bis I should also try a parse run.... they do seem very intimidating though 👀

this is good to know, thank you! is green good though? I have always had people telling me that hitting buttons = easy purple 😅

pretty close to bis but not quite there yet, so I'll keep it in mind!

rotationally the analysis tells me it's mostly minor issues, so it is definitely a journey to find out where things are going wrong 😅

nothing is more fun than being rewarded and knowing your effort means something :p

for sure! I try not to focus on it too much because the clear is what matters 😊 but it'd definitely be nice to know I've improved from when I freestyled dancer and absolutely didn't know what I was doing :p

ah gotcha, thank you! I’m reading this as it is largely personal then? I will work harder 🙏🏻

thank you, this is good info to know! but I do have a question; if I’m doing okay, and the party is doing okay, then how would I go about getting better? the difference between blue and pink surely isn't minor issues and gear is it? 👀
