5 reasons why PS4 players need a parser in game

. And you don't need a parser just to know what to do.

No you don't. But to see how you perform you do. You see knowing rotation is 1 thing, doing them inside a fight is another. Just because it's A4 paper and ''makes sense to do certain skill here'' doesn't mean you perform good as you think. You see I'm on ps4 too and I thought I did well until someone told me I wasn't. When I started doing things different I was told I improved by 150-200 dps. However, this isn't something we can always do, you will always need to try the fight over time and have people willing to give you the information you want. Having the information you seek right there as you click on it is far more effective.

This will not only help you improve faster but also knowing what you can do easily while you progress new content. You know many people fail dps check on new content due to having no information of their dps. Some people think they doing well, until they find out later they didn't. Just because you do content, doesn't mean you doing the weight you should do- 75-85% effort. Like I've stated in previous parser threads, put the people that think they doing good but not really doing well, in the same group and it will ring another bell. I have screenshots of a9s enrage with echo and nearly full team of ilvl 270.

This is why Stone Sky Sea didn't work as a passive means of parsing. It just didn't properly reflect the real thing. Having that means to meter performance under actual battle situations does make a difference, and I certainly won't dispute that. The only thing I dispute is the ability to do so being unreachable without a parser.

After thinking on this a bit, I feel I may be a bit disconnected from the main concerns here because it's never been an issue for me personally. I'm showing my age a bit, but I'm from a time when games didn't have tutorials or in-depth add-ons; we just figured stuff out. Pure trial and error. Repetition. Owing to that, there's a LOT of behind the scenes things I grew accustomed to doing to effectively learn while minimizing mistakes or low performance. That definitely doesn't mean I've always done it right, but when I did it right, however fast or slow I became able to do so, I did so without parsing. It's nice to have, and I'd like to have it. But I don't NEED to have it. Though reflecting on this topic a bit, I can only speak for myself in that regard.
