The problem with doing that, for me, is that I've been playing on 0 since forever. So test by playing will be inaccurate since I mentally compensate for it. I needed more technical method.
Since I set it to -3, my general hit error at the results screen has averaged 3ms earlier. I'm going to play some more before finalising, but at least when playing stream maps I am centering on the blue bar almost exactly now, since I listen to the music when streaming and not looking at approach circles. Used HD to make sure and I'm a lot more consistent on streams now. Always wondered why I lost my tempo on streams some times.
Edit:
Doing much better now in terms of consistency, although I'm still early a lot of the time. This beatmap is simple and has a really strong beat, but I still never SS anything on my first play. Tried playing it with HR but I found my reading letting me down as usual. Stuck on HD instead and SS'd it again on my first try... that's an accomplishment for me. Hit error rates still early though because I still read fade-in/out when playing HD. I'm also not that good at HD generally :/
The effects are quite amazing even with such small numbers so I'd recommend everyone find their offset xD
