    Actually, his question was how much, so yes he does. And your method can't give you anymore than a very rough idea, that is tainted depending on the quality of play from the rest of your team, as well as your own ability to read the instance. That is what has been shown.

    Although, almost everyone who is against parsers has said differently, and said all you need to do is read a thread (where , shock! horror! The rotations have been figured out using parsers!), and hit a dummy that doesn't currently do anything more than help with muscle memory.

    So to that stuff at the end of your post, people and the community have not been getting on fine without them. If you have ever read one of those how to threads on your class, you have benefitted from them. And given this thread and more to the point "The Issue Nobody Wants to Address" thread, and many others, a good chunk of people are not getting on fine at all.

    This may be the best point of all the arguments. You can be against parsers, OK. But if you've read any topic about your class (BiS, rotations, stat weights, etc), watched any video guide about your class or even about a particular instance, then you've been affected, if not utterly guided, by the help of parse data. This is a fact that can not be simply brushed under the rug and ignored in any argument against them.
