    People who oppose a parser are just the same as people trying to police language because it can be "offensive and used to harass".
    I mean for real, guys, put your feet on the ground. Anything can be used to hurt anyone from chairs to powercables, napkins and oxygen (breathing kills you :c), a lala thrown at your head, a glock or a clock. What you want out is the, indeed, problematic people who use any tool to harass you.
    It's very interesting to see what number did you hit and why, watching a graph of your dmg, a log of your rotation, the damage you took, comparing variations on rotations to see which is most benefitial.

    Then again what it's not acceptable is a i205 pulling 400dps on Faust or someone not being able to kill Bismarck's carapace when you can do it half assed. Just, nope. If you want a carry, ask for it. Some will do it free, some will ask gil from you.

    I'm on ps4 and I want a goddamn parser. I want to know how do I do in every fight and what I could do better, and asking people to parse me gets annoying sometimes. I couldn't care less about ego stroking, I want to do better to clear stuff more efficiently and help people easier.

    Can SE add a parser that goes beyond simply displaying damage and healing. They have metrics for emnity as well, could we have a graph that shows emnity over time and how it compares to others? I tank a lot (or I will be once 4.0 hits most likely, even though I wanna raid as a healer). I want to see how I'm holding emnity over time compared to others, as well as my DPS compared to others.

    As far as the parser goes, it's needed. I point blank refuse to use a parser while it could get me banned for simply HAVING one (don't give me all the blah blah about they can't tell, they ban if they catch whiff of you using a parser, I'm not using one while that is the case, not risking it). But at the same time it means I haven't got a freaking clue how to improve (I haven't touched any content since 3.2 came out though, so I'm not sure how S3 stacks up for telling you though). Am I overhealing too much, am I able to do more DPS during healing downtime, or maybe I'm rocking up way too much emnity such that I'm sacrificing DPS in place of emnity.

    As I'm sure you are well aware, it takes more than one person to be able to kick a player from a duty, so in all those instances there were at least two people agreeing they'd be better off without you tanking.
