Dps checks and parsers go hand in hand! Parsers tell you if the team is putting out enough damage to pass that wall. Anyone can push 1+2+3 but an optimized rotation flutters around like Muhammad Ali, 1+2+alt9+3+5+ctrl7+6+8+alt6+however else you want to put it. Back on point, parsers are meant to enhance gameplay like others have said in previous posts. The guy that does 1200 and wipes the party is like the guy who does 225 and also wipes the party. Thing is, 1200 is doing respectable dps that could potentially get the group past the dps check where as the 225 guy jumped into the party head down, butt up...and we all know how that ends lol. Someone's going to get screwed...and it's the seven others wondering who's Emu.
