The Real Problem with Parsers

[RiceisNice]

Which you don't need in this case where someone is factually wearing the wrong stat. If "not wearing the right stat" (and apparently missing a ring) isn't enough to prove that someone's going to be underperforming, no amount of parser numbers will prove it to them because they simply won't care.

Which again, would not apply to situations where the person is willfully ignorant/bad. But even then you have the off chance that players do not know their primary stats (specifically monks and rogues due to the lack of clarification on early DoW body Pieces). And even outside of that, just rotational/gameplay in general. Thats why I even mentioned that this screenshot is a terrible example to prove either side on whether or not having a parser is good.

And this is an isolated argument. They said that they needed parsers to prove someone who's not wearing the right gear is going to be underperforming. That's just plain wrong. In no stretch of the imagination do you need numbers to prove that having the wrong gear on will cause someone to underperform. That's like saying that you need numbers to prove that someone wearing i90 gear is not going to hit as hard as someone wearing i190. It's just a terrible argument.

They're not debating Ilvls though, they're debating stats at the same ilvl (since AV syncs to 49). And it is an isolated scenario/argument, that's why it shouldn't apply to (not) having parsers in general.

And according to the legend of what colours are which, the Bard didn't say that Mind gives MP. It says Blue = PLD.

Which more likely than not, the three had queued together, so the odd one out would be SoL. The matter of fact is, their reasoning is still objectively wrong.
