I think a group parser could help people, while leveling and learning their class, test and see how doing certain changes to their rotation would improve their DPS.
How is a group parser going to help someone leveling? That's the most dumb thing i've ever read so far in this thread.

People don't learn their class looking at numbers, people learn their class by reading the skill tooltips, and from there use their logic, that's how i've learned and most people learned.

What basically you're saying is that everyone was bad before parsers were made available, please.

Not to mention there's plenty of guides, being them video or written, no Parser is going to make someone better than reading/watching a guide (exception for people who already know their Job for the most part and want to test openers).

Yes this is why people want a group parser, so they can shit on bad players and get away with it for the sake of epeen, when they're not that good themselves.

What would happen if someone was doing bad DPS:

- Get shit on
- Get kicked

But wait, there's a group parser, so why aren't they good already? Wasn't it meant to help bad players become better to begin with?

The only time i felt the need to read a guide for Ninja was during 3.2 when i couldn't beat the A8S dummy, was failing at 3%, which is what full party buff is and would be met while inside A8S, but i still wanted to get it down since it's possible, so i went to read guides and found out that the Opener was somewhat wrong.

Then i proceed to test the new opener, still wasn't enough, so i proceed to reddit and people told me my crit was too low, end of story.

I didn't use a parser to learn my Job, i'm not special, why would other people need a parser to learn their Job?
