Would you like an in-game parser?

Simply at least please add a DPS meter! ^^;

At first I was satisfied with a personal parser, but now I would really like a group parser.
My dungeon runs of yesterday made me want to have it even more.

Me and 2 friends did 60 roulette and got a new player.
It was her first time in the dungeon, so we pulled slowly and after the first few trash mobs I asked her if she would like advice on the dungeon, and if she would like advice on dragoon game-play (I'm not an expert in DPS so I was not going to explain her a whole rotation, but basic stuff that every dragoon should do)

Since she didn't answer, I told her to at least keep Heavy Thrust up, because it ups your damage. And to use the Pugilist and Maurauder Cross-Class skills instead of gatherers ones.

Her reaction was: Do you have an issue with me? Just heal and let's continue.
I explained her that I don't have an issue, but wanted to help her play better. To which she says that I shouldn't be so serious and that it's just a game. Ok this is true, but you don't play alone, you play with other people, so show respect. I also told her than that I didn't want to carry her if she didn't try at least.

We continue, she's still not using buffs (She only you the Full Thrust Combo), she asks for tips of the dungeon. I told her to use Heavy Thrust before we talk dungeon, since she's already dead weight. Her reply is that I don't know anything about dragoon and how it plays (I have it level 60, and it was my previous main before I went Scholar) and she will not take advice from a Mentor (I'm a mentor, so I know my reaction was maybe harsh and a mentor should not be harsh, but she really got on my nerfs) and that she would only believe she performed poorly if she saw it.

We kicked her from the group cuz she refused to even try. In this situation, a parser would have shown her that by using Heavy Thrust and buffs (and if possible DoT and Chaos Thrust Combo) her damage would go up.

Parser wont help with this at all. if the moron cannot see that the skill states it adds dmg for x amount of time or just flat out cant read the tool tips, then they should, honestly, not be playing any mmo. Not WoW, GW2, ESO, nothing.

this has nothing to do with proving dmg numbers and such, this is about a person who refuses to learn a rotation and simply READ your tool tips/action help/item help box. Like everybody does.

She said she would only believe it if she sees she performs poorly, which a parser can in fact show you

[Seraphix2407]

Ah this thread is alive again. Look at how many people fail dps check on niddhogg normal mode. They wont get clear unless being carried, if not. Good, should teach them a lesson to get better

Okay, easy as hell. Pop Heavey Thrust and hit a dummy and look at the numbers. Cant see them? Use chat like the rest of us do.

Because somebody is trolling your group by being vindictive ON PURPOSE, does not mean you need a parser to tell them that Heavy thrust gives a Damage boost.

If that was the case, a parser would be in game.

Yeah, a dummy will help me prove her she's wrong while we're in a dungeon

Yes, yes, all of my YES. I really want SE to add an in-game parser already so I can optimize how I play during encounters, learn from the results with data to back it up, and improve as a player. Not only on an individual level, a whole group can reap the benefits of a parser where players can help each other out and become better at the game. While there may be some players who abuse parsers as an object to inflate their egos and harass those they don't find to be playing to an extreme ideal, such incidents can be dealt with by reporting such offenders and potentially sending them to the GM's gaol. A parser is merely a tool, and in the right hands it can help a lot of players improve and assist one another.

And then you have the issue of people just flat out abusing the report system for parsers.

Gloating is NOT a bannable offense nor is it even frowned upon.

An ingame-parser would be really nice

I don't know, why people are afraid of it..
