Built-in Parsers

[Taika]

Imho as long as we find it acceptable to rank all jobs based purely on damage they do, we as a community do not deserve an official parse.

How else would you rank players than DPS and HPS in this game and why? Damage mitigation is not very relevant and there's no support to speak of. Of course you must understand that higher rankings require great party performance (you can't rank high on SMN if you need to be raising your team mates), and that the highest of the high ranks are likely to be fed all the buffs and the setups have been built around them. But when you read a parse number in the first place, you can't only look at that one number, but you need to see everything else that happened as well (how much damage was taken by each party member, were there deaths, what was the group DPS (how fast did the boss die), what buffs were received by whom etc.
