    I hope you realize MNK 2.0 is nothing like 1.0. Not even a little bit.

    They lower your DPS by at least 50 damage. Try test them yourself, and no its not broken parsers.
    There is no parser that can accurately measure DoTs unless you have a self-made parser than contains everyone's unique stat data in order to run a simulation every time "X uses DoT" is in the chat log.

    Even then, it wouldn't be accurate because the crits and damage+% effects would be different in each environment.

    It's not that parsers are "broken," it's that parsers can't collect DoT data without depending on the author's own, predictive formula independent from the game. We pretty much have to wait for in-game apps to extract DoT ticks reliably.

    Here's a simple test: go to a training dummy and apply Touch of Death. Manually record the ticks on paper or in a calculator. Add up the DoT damage and compare it to the parser. If these numbers don't match, there you go. If these numbers do match, run the test again--you will find it was a coincidence.

    Parsers over estimate the damage of the DoTs actually. Try it yourself. Parses do an estimation of the DoT to be accurate as possible, and they over estimate the damage. So you do less DPS with over estimated DoTs compared to not using any DoTs at all.
