It would be better if they added the rotations to the game and a way to practice it kinda like fighting games do.
A person in need of a link to the balance discord or a job-guide shouldnt be in content were their performance actually matters, aka Savage, Ultimate or Ex-Primals, in the first place. But currently those people have no way of telling them wether or not they're actually good (enough) on their job. An official parser, showing them their numbers after a dungeon-run for example together with a number they should be aiming for (because numbers without context wont matter here), can tell a person that they need to look up about their class, before they even get into content where it matters that they know what they're doing.

One problem this game has is the lack of actual feedback, aswell as the jump in difficulty from dungeons and normal modes to Savage raids and Extremes.
By at least seeing their numbers and some sort of estimate on how good those numbers are, people who actually care, but just dont know better, can improve before they burden anyone with them needing a carry.
People who dont want to improve deserve that kick - they dont deserve harrassment or insults, but they dont deserve being carried and getting their clear on the back of 7 other people either.
No one in a clear-party should need an explantion on how their job works - they're here to learn the fight, not their rotation. Right now there isnt really anything thats telling you wether you have that down or not though - Stone, Sky, Sea is an option, but you have to go out of your way for that. Getting a message off "You achieved 30% of the damage the job you're playing on was expected to deal in this content" at the end of an encounter seems more effective to me to be honest.

Jerks will be jerks with or without a parser - and wether they're pulling good numbers or basically nothing.
