    So. Up until now I've been against parsers. My argument has been completely wrong. COMPLETELY WRONG!

    There is nothing wrong with a parser. It's a glorified calculator that retrieves data from the battle log that is already there. It simplifies it and puts it into a read out that people can understand.

    The problem lies with the person who uses it, not the tool itself.

    A parser is like a hammer.
    Both are tools. - A hammer is used to build. A parser is used to read out numbers.
    Both have constructive uses. - A hammer can help build a home. A parser can help improve where a player is weak in their rotation.
    Both can cause harm. - A hammer can be used to bludgeon someone to death. A parser can be used to call out weak chains in parties in a malicious manner.

    Both are tools, it depends on the wielder of these tools to determine their overall effect and outcome.
