The Real Problem with Parsers

[Arkenne]

I wont say the parse number is much of a viability, but once the fight ends I tend to look at those odd numbers with more detail...
Like opening their skill usage... I've seen horrible things...

NINs using no DoTs in Alex runs...
BRDs using Windbite 134 times while Heavy Shot was used once in an A3 run...
MNKs hitting no positionals...

Yes the parser number might be too big a thing to look at, but if you take some time to analize their fight... some things really get... well you might get eye cancer if you are lucky.


I've also been on the other side of the coin tho, people judging others for the wipe based on parsing numbers... like this one WAR which after wipe was all "oh WAR parsing higher than the DPS how sad" in an A2 run where he didn't notice that the DPS were dying at mobs he was supposed to be tanking and one of those dead-and-res DPSes jumped on the gobbie so of course their DPS was going to drop...
