    Agree :/
    While with your dummy and time left when killed, you know what dps you have in an ideal situation, it fails to give a precise idea about how you're performing in real duties.

    Still better than nothing, especially for console players

    If you can't beat a dummy without movement and mechanics, then you probably aren't doing the required DPS for the said content in the first place.

    This is off-topic.

    I can beat AS1 dummy with my bard, but the class is such a mess for me (might just be my hotbars but anyway.. ) that I can't even perform reasonably in dungeons. I fail to reaply dots, forget about procs, forget totally about the new skills, etc. As soon as I have sth other than my hotbars to focus on, I hust can't do it.

    ... but I can beat AS1 dummy, so I must be doing well even in dungeons, amirite ? >_>

    If you can beat the dummy your dps with your gear and rotation should be sufficient, yes. If you can't bring that same dps into te duty, how exactly would the parser help with that?

    If you say 'pls' because it's shorter than 'please', I say 'no' because it's shorter than 'yes'.

    Putting it shortly, a parser helps you optimize in a specific situation. Anyone thinking that their optimal CD usage on a dummy will help them perfom better on Ravana is delusional at best. My mnk dps went up by 400 on this fight the day I understood that.

    Ofc it won't help my bard though but it can still show that I improved, even if just a bit. Something a dummy can't say because I fail at keeping focus on multiple things, not at pushing buttons

    That's an issue you need to figure out yourself - Swapping hotbars, changing keybinds, UI adjustment, etc. Performance optimization.
