How would an optional, official parser be toxic?

This is a team based game if you failed to realize you striving to add 50 points to your dps amounts to nothing the boss still dies at roughly the same time. Rotations for the most part are static when they do change its because your entire team as tweaked them for a particular fight. At the end of the day if you can preform your rotation your damage is fine and you are a valuable member of your team.

There's more to simply "doing your rotation", as someone with higher ping, its difficult to weave abilities certain abilities, (for example on rdm, trying to use both contra sixte and fleche in the same gdc cool down) with a parse I can experiment to see and learn exactly the best time to to use my abilities. Also, perhaps I am running for too long after an aoe drops? If I actively reduce the amount of time, how much difference would it make?
Little things like that, which can add up.

All of which you don't need a parser for that as i do those things fine without one being a ps4 player you just need experience with the fight. and as for your first point
stop double weaving or play a class that has little to no need of it.

Yes...you do those things fine. But what works and seem intuitive to you, will not be easy to others. Nor will they know specifically how they are doing if they don't have the benefits of a parser (assuming that they care to know and want to improve). Experience is one thing yes - being able to do a rotation properly while executing mechanics is another thing entirely. The suggestion you've made about playing a class that doesn't need double weaving - how is that any help at all to someone who wants to improve at that job? Some jobs do have double weaving as part of their rotation.

Read. A. Guide. this is an mmo if you want to improve and you haven't joined the balance discord and looked at a guide you are doing it wrong. MMO's don't teach you how to play the game sadly. my comment of double weaving is just a statement of facts some classes relies on the ability to double weave. If you can't that hurts your ability to play the class right and no parser can help you improve you can decide not too and just do less damage.
