So, can we just ban damage meters already.

Oh for Pete's sake, not this stuff again.

You.
Do.
Not.
Need.
Parsers.
To.
Better.
Yourself.

Very true it is more about the attitude but parsers are very useful in determining when a slight change might be a dps gain or a dps loss because the alternative is not great especially from a time perspective.

For eff's sake. Do a little math. This. Ain't. Rocket. Science.

Love to see you do the math for your dps in a 8 man encounter from start to finish, parsers are just a number tool, very useful and easy to read compared to the long very boring alternative.

It's VERY easy to create a solid rotation.

Step 1. Look at the potency of abilities.
Step 2. Look at cooldowns.
Step 3. Put cooldowns in order to take advantage of the global cooldown to maximize up time.

Base rotation sure, any nuiances in the rotation, any change from the norm because of a fight's design, you do anything different you not going to know if what you did was a boon or a bane without the numbers to help and i would highly highly doubt anyone nowadays would be bothered to sit and read an instance's battle log and do that math.

Parsers are not evil, do not spread hate, do not criticize people, so stop(general people against them) trying to make it into a boogyman it can never be, your beef is people and that is where the energy should go to getting rid of those who feel the need to openly insult(Big insults not stuff like you need to get better etc) other players.
