Are we really getting a Dps parsing dummy?

I've literally never heard of anyone getting permabanned due to the use of a parser.

You can use the parser to literally see when monsters hit you and how much outgoing damage they can do to you and when they use their attacks.

Early WoW didn't have DD checks. Funny thing is that game took off like a rocket. WoW right now has DD checks and isn't doing all that well. Not that the correlation implies anything other than DD checks are irrelevant to the game being enjoyable.

Um, DPS checks in WoW have existed since Vanilla. Vaelestraz (albeit a light one), Patchwork in Vanilla Naxx... remember Brutalus in Sunwell with BC? That's still quite early.

In the highest upvoted comment it links to an interview where he states that publicy they have to state that it's not allowed, but as low as you remain hush hush about it, it's fine. That OP likely talked about it in the open, and probably was rude enough to get reported.

Yeah... exploiting the game is fine as long as you can get away with it. I see. That is standard attitude in MMOs these days. However I always report people who say or parse logs at all. :'3

Exploiting the game? The parser doesn't tell you when an attack is coming or how to avoid it, the game does that for the most part actually. All it does is track damage, healing, etc. =l

It also might assist your account to a permaban. :'3

Banned people do 0 dps.

Good for you if you believe in that fairytale where people get banned for using parsers. Let alone permabanned.

You probably also believe SE bans gil buyers..

Why would you hate being able to see if you are doing well or not in a fight. If you wishfully want to stay ignorant about how well you are doing in a fight then so be it but when you work with a group of people on end game raids like savage, you need to pull your weight.

Example, if you do okay dps and do your job just fine, but someone else same job does exceptional dps and does the job just fine, majority will take the one who can do the exceptional dps. because as long as you know how to pick up and learn mechanics for fights, you can always improve dps, but if you lack in both mechanics or dps, your going to be dropped for reasons.

Just like in real life jobs, if someone who works meh, okay, doing what they are supposed to do. The store isn't always clean but it looks okay, and then boss hires someone who does exceptional work, workplace always clean and does what they are supposed to without wasting time, who are they going to fire in this situation without exception?

To those complaining about an official DPS parser, use this as an opportunity to practice your rotation and optimize your DPS. This is a good thing for everyone.

That's what I thought. And I personally think is a great idea as it is a PERSONAL parsing not a raid one. It will definitely help improve personal performance. It's like I mentioned before, a bit of a training mode for a fight game where I try to Excel your combos by adding more and put them into practice on a real target.

Because you totally can't get that information from cast bars and flying text or anything...

You do realize the info is provided by the game, right?
Parsers just put the information in a more readable format.
