An Alternative? to parsers..

I did, albeit with a upstart group, and were new to raiding in FFXIV myself. My group at the time didn't skip immediately but we did skip well before actually clearing A12S. You're severely overestimating the DPS check regarding Soar. Another factor to keep in mind is many PFs had five DPS and still couldn't skip. There is no excuses there.

Point being if you were clearing savage floors you were not 260 which was your argument. You're underestimating it with people being at the min ilvl for the fight of 250-260 skipping soar with 4 or 5 dps

... I said my ilvl was 260. You do realize that impacts your damage more than a hodgepodge of gear, yes? Five DPS will easily skip Soar at ilvl 260, provided those players are good. Skipping Soar at lower ilvls simply required higher input from the tank(s) and healer(s).
