Would you like an in-game parser?

[Dement]

But I will turn your question back to you: Why should someone like me be forced to play under the shadow of a parser when you guys who want parsers can join groups of your own like minded individuals who want to use parsers to improve and play optimally?

As a PS4 player, I would like the opportunity to improve and play optimally without constantly having to badger someone else about how I am doing as I have no real way of knowing the answer to that myself. At a very very minimum a parser needs to be added to training dummies. Yes, I know that I can do the SSS dummies and calculate my DPS afterwards but that doesn't really allow me to make tweaks and see my performance as it happens. Thus I can't really tell did my DPS drop when I did the 10th GCD, the 20th GCD or the 60th GCD?

Additionally, in most endgame fights, everyone is forced to play under the shadow of a parser whether it is visible or not. Like it or not, DPS checks are a very real thing and the game is parsing to see if you meet the check or not. At the moment, though, we do not have the means of knowing where problems exist, should we fail the check, without the use of third party tools.
