    It's nice to have tools that allow you to figure out what the problems are so you can improve your teams chances of victory. If a DD is doing a lot lower dps than the others and your team is failing to burn Titan's heart, then you know who needs to improve or kick.

    This is a perfect example of how to NOT use a parser properly. Titans Heart.

    You are taking an overall parse of damage through an entire fight and using it to judge someone for damage on a single burn phase. Are you accounting for the rock jail? Are you considering that they may have been saving dps cooldowns for the heart phase? Or that their cooldowns might have not been available at the beginning of the fight due to when you wiped during the last attempt?

    Maybe for a T5 i understand. If its Primal fight even with a low dps it can be done. So many Ex fights in early days were won with like 5-6 players remaining.

    if the low dps is very obvious, then i agree kick is granted, by if someone need a parser to see the -5% difference, thats a waste.

    Again, it depends on the content, i don't think Primal or such lol like thornmarch should be even taken that serious as a hardcore dps check.

    Only fight i would consider looking up report is T5, but that is if we suck on dps check areas, T5 usually been on fails during phases like twister.

    I think people put too much into this DPS race where it is not required, for example, if a pt can kill a titan heart, that pt can kill titan. i don't care about dps after that(tho more dps is always better ofc), now its more about dodging mechanics.
