That's you, though. You're already on the forums. I already look up guides on every single class I play so I at least have a general idea that I'm doing the right rotation. Not that I really need to for the most part since most of the time it's less looking rotations up and more confirming that my rotation is fine.


But what we'd do is irrelevant, isn't it? We're not the kind of person that needs to use a parser to know how to do your basic rotation, which are the people that a majority of pro-parsers want to get better, isn't that right? If someone's pulling 700 in an Expert Roulette, that's not optimal, but it's completely acceptable for the content. You don't need 1,000 DPS to clear it. But those aren't the ones that are the real "problems", are they?

The value of a parser is only as much as the person seeing the numbers puts on it. I'm still not saying that some people can't and won't use it to improve, just that those that will see they're doing better than the majority but less than a minority aren't necessarily going to feel a need to improve if they're not failing content.

I mean really, your trolling is failing hard here.
Since you're just making things up that I didn't say anywhere in what you quoted, it's safer to say you're the one trolling.

That being said, considering how long people have been arguing against me, if I were trolling, that'd be an astounding success.

So you're kind of wrong either way.
