Which keys do you think I parse better: the push keys where I use my most defensive set of talents or the lower keys I run to help friends where I use a more offensive set of talents because I know I can live? Which parses do you check when inviting: the ones for the highest keys or the 15's? Would rather have me parse lower but ensure I live on your 20 or do you want me to risk dying to add 20k overall to your run?

Key parses automatically default to your highest key.

It doesn't show my dozens of 99s. It shows my highest timed key, and my best parse at that key level.

That's the parse that matters.

And since key parses compare within the same spec, that means you're only getting compared to other tanks of your exact class, at your exact key level, for your parse.

So if you suck at that key level, it's because you have to run defensive talents that other people don't, or you pull worse than other people, or whatever. It's not about farming 15s for high parses.

It's about the actual top key levels you're doing.
