Is a Parser ever comming?

I could also be a external factor. As a healer, I'm not sure I really enjoy a DPS that is strictly sticking to his cycle and eating all the AOE so he could be the king of the ring.

You do 0 DPS while dead. Unless the boss requires extremely strict dps requirements, any DPS sitting in aoes to pad meters would probably stop getting healed, die, then removed from the party afterwards.

Let's stop trying to stick our heads in the sand and ignore potential constructive uses of parsers because stupid people exist. We wouldn't get anywhere as a civilization if we stopped doing something because stupid people exist.

Someone didn't read my giant post about how parsers also show incoming damage. If 1 DD has way more incoming damage than another, ask them what they think they're doing. Or just, y'know, stop healing him until he gets the point. >_>

Takes BRD for example, you may be parsed at 250 DPS in T5, but if you didnt do your CD correctly, you still can not break out people in conflag. This is a scenario I have seen in last night's T5 progression party. His overall DPS is up to par, but he did grief mistake when handling conflag, because he would always dot conflag with venom and frostbite before his other CDs.

Did parser reflects everything in this scenario? I seriously doubt that. Parser is only abe to give you a general idea of where you are at, but it can not reflect all the details.

Parsers have an option to show outgoing damage done by target, or incoming damage done by player. So, yes, if you know where to look, the parser did probably include this info.
