You don't need a parser to determine the order to do things, it just makes your life about 1000 times easier to have one. Most people who care about improving their dps will either download a parser or if on ps3/4 ask someone that they know parses. Sadly people who care about doing well seem to be in the minority.
Sorry that wasn't my point! I absolutely agree a parser is the only way to really improve to some perfect level or whatever if they want to be the absolute best. What my point was is that it's not necessary to use one at all to be a good healer. So if someone is asking for advice on here, I don't think posting statistics helps all that much. My point is that the game isn't designed around people using parsers to improve, it's the total opposite. So just trying to say for any new player that you don't ever have to worry about being THAT extreme to play. I've done all content except savage (only because I have a life and am not going to commit to a weekly schedule to play video games), and I've had no problems and never used a parser once. Just talking about a parser in game can get you banned.
