    You do not need a parser to win. Parcer are good for a bit of theory crafting, but SE has made content on parsers strictly sub optimal or in other cases, detrimental.

    You know you're doing good, if you have done the content to the level of
    1: Your up time on bosses is high (if you're not hitting you're not doing good and death is obviously bad)
    2: Phases of burst are properly done. AKA add phases where people save alll their Buffs/CDs
    3: hitting the proper thing at the proper time. Randomly hitting stuff is bad

    Stuffing a parser doesn't make you any better at the content.

    Case in point is a blm who does bad on parser still pays his way in uses by simply being able to burst down adds fast with their flare and fire 3s.

    Or a smn that can do some nice damage simply wipes the pt from lack of burst timing skills.

    You need a job to perform xyz and abc. and you need people who can do certain things without messing up.

    parsing is way way below that. Even the almighty T8 where it's one big punchy dummy, is still in the end, not really parser super friendly. Most of that fight is not screwing up the mechanics and keeping up time on the bosses. aka optimization. (and it also doesn't take a parser to tell you 3 monks and a brd can rip it to shreds, since 2 of those mnk are not on dk duty, with inf tp).

    There are people that never parse a day in their life constantly hit the top scores by just doing things properly and their rotations well versed.

    You don't need to know a rotation is good with a parser, simply by using it often, and reading their skill description.
