What would that tell you?

A massive amount of your personal dps at any given time is not down to you but down to the rest of your group.. in order to make any sense of your dps you need to understand where it came from and why it is what it is.

A parser that tells you nothing about the rest of the group is useless.

If you take trick attack for example. That one buff can have maybe a 2% increase on your dps.

Just having a bard in your party is an almost permanent 2% increase to crit rate. And that's before counting foe or battle voice.

The point is all those little things the rest of your group does can add up to be a very significant portion of your personal dps. And because of that a personal parser that removes any information about the rest of the party would be totally useless.

You could do a fight twice. First time you might get 5k fps.

Second time you might get 5.5k dps. That might suggest you played better. But the reality is you could have played worse just the 7 people you were grouped with the second time were better players in a better composition. That extra dps then is down to them and not down to you playing better..

So a personal parse wouldn't tell you anything useful at all. Knowing you did more or less dps than you did last time is absolutely useless if you can't account for why you did more. And to do that you need information about the rest of the party.
