    Can you imagine how bad players would react to it? They'd spam heals to get high HPS, purposely not DPSing or overhealing like mad. Even if the devs decided to make it EHPS instead of HPS, I still cringe thinking of how it'd be received by the basic player. Of course there's parsers out there already, but I doubt basic players use it.

    Now an in-game DPS parser is another story. I'll take that, although I doubt we'll ever get it.
    A good parser would be able to show overhealing, if it didn't some probably would try to inflate that number lol. But look at the bright side, a bunch of healers wanted to go full time rather than also DD :P

    Personally envisioning SE "making" a parser by allowing players to create addons, similar to how WoW has a parser - but not really made by Blizzard. I keep seeing parser as the lock and key to addons ;/. Although I don't think its impossible to do addons and avoid a parser, but to not be gimping the entire system I imagine they'd purposefully have to block specific things.
