Would you like an in-game parser?

[Krissey]

Just look at the old "PLD sucks" topic...PLD did enough to beat savage, yet people pushed it out because WAR or DRK did better.

No, it's not. But this community is way past such a trivial case. Even back in 2.0, people requested relics to invite you to Titan Hard mode. When the Novus was created, having anything besides full Det/Crit was considered garbage. And I remembered people posting that full Det/Crit and Det/Crit/Accu (to avoid rank IV materias) ended in less than 5% gap in DPS.

Basically all you're saying is we already have a fucking trashlord community. So what difference would a parser make? I mean, sounds like we've had this problem since 2.0 launched, maybe even 1.0. Maybe they came from WoW. Maybe they came from XI. But clearly they've literally always been here. So...your worst fears and nightmares have arrived without a parser?
