As such, you've been arguing semantics for the past 12 pages with the other people. Parsing as a blanket statement, going through data and looking at damage and checking, is not cheating. Using a third-party program to do so, is. However, the community usually couldn't care less about that because the benefit of it (the parser) is high and fight club rules pretty much protect you from being banned.
