Lets keep it civil and on topic please.

SE says we can't have battle parsers. That's a topic in itself to debate. Not really what I wanted this thread to discuss. I just want to work with what we already know we can't have and still try to get some raw numbers in some way.

Given we already know their stance on the subject. I started the thread with a simple idea to get some sort of tool that uses the dummies. I think this would only has positive impact in the game. This should in a small way please many and offend no one. If only the individuals in a dummy session can see the results, I don't see any reason for conflict.

Parsing dummy usage examples:

Know your potential DPS/HPS. Improve your potential. Test newly acquired gear's impact on potential. Test speed build vs crit build vs det build. Find out which of your several jobs has the highest potential. See people in the world training on dummies. Fun at Fc houses by letting parties hit the parsing dummies together. Dummy mode that randomly places aoe under the player striking to practice reaching potential while moving (only registering hits in the results not in damage). Idk, just some thoughts on it's use for some entertainment and function. I could go on.
