Built-in Parsers

[kikix12]

Just because it doesn't give you a nice flashy number doesn't mean it gives you nothing.

I said that it gives you nothing except...and then proceeded to say what it gives. Something that amounts to hardly anything.

It is a timer. Not a parser. You can heat water for your tea in a metal jug, and end up with boiling hot water, but that won't make the jug suddenly turn into a kettle. A parser is a parser, a timer is a timer. Then there's stopwatch which, too, can be used for the same thing, but it is still a stopwatch.

It tells you what you need to know, just not in a way you want to hear it.

It tells me that if I would get an invincibility buff that negates all mechanics, and would not need to care about the HP of my party members (if a healer), that I would deal enough damage to do my part before the boss enrages. Yay, how helpful...Sorry, but neither do I have invincibility buffs in content, nor can I ignore the HP of the other members as a healer, NOR am I immune to mechanics. If I manage to barely destroy the statue, I may or may not end up dealing enough damage on the boss depending on the other members of the party, cause it is 100% impossible to maintain the damage you do on the dummy in an actual fight. Well, in any content that you have those dummies for, that is.

Funny thing is you're both wrong and using a simple calculator you can figure out the big flashy number since SSS has preset HP values.

Those preset values are not visible in the game however, so I'm not wrong in saying that they are undefined. You can calculate them by adding your damage to the puppet, roughly, but hey.

The only difference between these dummies and the training dummies is that they serve as a timer, not a parser. That's what I was saying from the beginning. I've to see why this statement would be wrong, since you can use a calculator to get numbers when fighting anything and anything at all.
