I just posted in this thread like a page ago why I'd want a parser - to better gague my performance so that I can optimize it, specifically on my DPS classes which are significantly more complicated than healers which are all I've played for a while.

Your statement there is a bold-faced lie.

As to using a training dummy or SSS that isn't the real fight! There is no way you can gain meaningful experience with an encounter without playing that encounter yourself, dummies are great for training muscle memory and testing specific things but that's basically all.

Also what's wrong with figuring out the weak link in a group? If one person isn't pulling their weight then maybe they need help. With a parser you would know, without one you're just gonna keep wiping.
