An alternative to parsing?

[Slick7]

If raiders would leave without being able to parse, that right there tells me they aren't all that great of players to begin with. If you NEED a third party tool, then perhaps you need to get better at the game. A parser is a crutch used to counter their lack of skill.

Interesting point. How do you suggest getting better at the game without a parser? Copying the combat log into Excel and adding up stuff? It's not like a gazillion of guides including good and optimal rotations would be available at all without act...
