This might be hard to believe, but before SSS was even a thing, and while the job was new, I effectively taught myself a proper MCH rotation. By the time solid rotation(s) began to pop up online, I saw it and said "Wow, this is almost exactly what I already do." And as I said before, I've been a console player since the start.

It might be tougher to learn the job/rotation well without a parser, but it's hardly impossible.

So did I but it wasn't as optimal. MCH have it easier than others though since our WF shows us a number at the end. It's not the rotation that's the biggest issue though. A stationary target is easy but in a raid knowing how I perform under stress is very useful.

Time, practice and repetition will accomplish the skill and consistency even without a parser. Don't get me wrong, it IS nice to know the numbers, but technical expertise produces high numbers, not the other way around.

It's also worth noting that - abusive or negative players aside - in a situation where everyone is performing well, even well enough to clear consistently, a parser can lead to debates or bragging over who's doing better than someone else, and if your team is capable of accomplishing what it wants to, does that really matter? No, but let's not act like we don't know human nature. . .
