    #1 - Under geared, yes, I can understand.

    #3 would indicate that yes, dps parsers would reflect this information
    Yes, you can beat savage content without it, however, if Squeenix wants to steer clear from this as an issue for a whole, then either adding a parser to the game or eliminating the death time, would be the best solution for the content. Otherwise, this conversation will still be a continued issue for the ages, and has not changed since 2.0 endgame content.

    I will also add that you're right, you don't need one. And can be done without one. For faster clearing on the content though, yes, advocating for an ingame parser, is what I would be doing. Or eliminating the death timer as a whole if that is the case.

    Enrage timers exist so you cant outsustain a boss to beat it. You have a time frame you need to beat the boss in. If you reach enrage, it means one of those 3 factors are in play. And as for steering clear, it does not appear they have to, as they themselves have not added it to the game. They must either see the negatives of parsers being more prevalent than the positives, or that the issue is not that big for them to add it in in the first place.

    Again, its a QoL that people want one. Not a necessity. And that QoL is not one SE wants to hand over readily for some reason. This could very well be SE telling the player base parsers arent necessary to beat content, but people are to reliant on them possibly as a crutch? I dont know, speculating there.
