Parsers and Problems

You can use it for more than just knowing the dps check on the hard enrage.

I reacted to the mechanic is X way, and got Y. Then I tried it in Z way and got Y+1. There are also non-enrage dps checks, like add phases or the split hands in as3. Parsers also give info to healers and tanks, like how much a tether in as3 can hit for.

Sure, not a need. It's a want. But so what? You don't need a lot of things in game. I don't see people popping into Hildibrand threads and talking about how we shouldn't have it because it's not technically necessary.
