    From min/maxing perspective yes you do.

    This just makes me feel that he wants to pull his own weight and doesn't want to hold his team back.

    This brings an interesting question. How would be players going if there was no parser at all? I would imagine significant decrease of overall dps.

    Edit:

    I have to expand my thought a little bit more. If there were no parsers, it would lead to less dps. If there was less dps, there would be more failed dps checks. If there were more failed dps checks, there would be more failed runs. If there would be more failed runs, there would be more frustrated players. How would that affect toxic behaviour and harassment?

    It seems parser actually decreases toxicity. Mindblowing.
