An alternative to parsing?

[Saikoh]

Actually...parse data does show stuff like that on the main site where this information is uploaded. Its more than just raw damage - it does show things like timelines, events, every cast time, who died and to what, what killed whom, etc. There's a ridiculous amount of information that you find on it.

Showing what someone got hit by is not the same as showing who is attending to mechanics. This is an example of my point that some believe the parser is all, when it is just a measuring tool.
