It's official Parsers are illegal in FFXIV

[Gormogon]

its your method, its your theory,

I'm not the one defending parsers and number crunching so please do enlighten me. Show me the math and show me the numbers that prove that I am just speculating.

theorycrafters know this and strive seek answers, even if the differences are miniscule.

For the most part you answered your own question and proved why this parser thing is getting blown way out of proportion.

I've already said that it's a decent tool but it seems I have to continue pointing out the part where those obsessing and being overly reliant on it are not doing themselves and said tools a favor.

This isn't aimed at parser programs in general, but the differences aren't always miniscule. One instance where this is blatantly apparent is DRG optimal rotations, where one rotation can be worth hundreds of damage more than another dependent upon the point at which the enemy stops taking all damage (dies).
