How would an optional, official parser be toxic?

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.

Why is this the immediate fallback? As if I haven't been on the balance discord for months, or that I haven't spent literal days going over the guide posted on TMP for my job and even longer practicing to the point that I no longer need to look at my hotbar? For me, it's not enough... I need to be able to track what I'm doing actively. My numbers vary between 3.9k and 5.8k. Huge variance there and I'm not sure where I need tweaking. A guide helps me optimize, yes, but it can't tell me what I'm doing to cause such a huge variance. And pugs are so random with whether they upload or not that I feel that I'm not playing good.

4 digit number tells you nothing. your huge variance is prob due to aoe and multiple mob summoners do better when they are multiple targets to hit.
