Would you like an in-game parser?

Those paint skills are wonderful !

I totally agree with what you explained here (in a beautiful way).
When ARR first released, I indeed remember dungeons were a lot more punishing, maybe this smoothed my transition to HM primals and Coil after (actually, this is probably the case) and that's a thing newer players lack now.

Also, I started to parse myself at this precise moment too, when I was running Amdapor Keep at the time, because the DPS checks made me want to improve and check if my rotation was correct, what I could optimize etc.

Maybe that's what the game really needs now : a smoother difficulty curve and the addition of a tool to improve on this content.
