Would you like an in-game parser?

[Reynhart]

Parsers gives cold numbers, people should be able to put them in context and most cant do that, which then leads to wrong assumptions and names calling where there is no need since they were doing fine if put into context.

Little story here. Back in 2.x, I build my own static to beat Coil. Once HW came and some people quit, I joined another static in my FC, and my leader is pretty much obsessed with DPS. He's the one who'd rather stop a try the earliest because of a DPS issue instead of progressing as much as possible while learning mechanics.

So, most of the time, the end briefing was "Please, check your rotation". But, he plays AST and BLM, and had absolutely no idea what could go wrong for a DRG (me) or a BRD (fellow DPS). So yeah, he had a parser, but it wasn't of any help whatsoever.

And if you removed dps checks you wouldnt remove parsers. Best mitigation is high dps.

If that was true, we wouldn't need tanks...Been there in FFXI, done that, didn't like it.
Besides, doing the most DPS can encourage people to stay in AoE and let the healer compensate. It's weird to consider this the "best mitigation"

A parser will never be not used by a team who is serious

So, no full PS3/4 team can be serious ?
