How would an optional, official parser be toxic?

A DPS meter wouldn’t make sense in a video game, but I agree with having one somewhere personally.

Back in 2.0 I didn’t know if I was doing well on a savage boss until someone told me I was number 3. Also during a S hunt someone asked if they were number one and the person said no, Stating that I was number one.

It’s a big confidence booster. People telling you your numbers helps you improve so I agree with it. The down side of it was someone telling me my numbers were too low and so I was booted. I’m glad they told me that because I worked on improving myself. If they never told me I would of continued to be even suckeier.

Ya'll heard of parsing in Pagos, now get ready for some next level parsing of less than high end content.

Next up, parsing leveling roulette.

Oh, when they manage to add Roulettes to the Duty Recorder function, I so will make use of it in Expert. For evaluation reasons, of course.

Pretty sure people already do that...

If I can get a WHM in Aetherochemical Research Facility that doesn't use Holy during large pulls, you won't be able to explain to DPS why AOE abilities on a million mobs is a good thing.

Pretty sure people already do that...

And the absurdity of it makes my toes curl.

You say that like it's a bad thing...

The hope is that one learns their job, minus the 70 ability's integration into their rotation and priorities, by the time they hit 70. Why should a learning tool be excluded, then, from the vast majority of that learning process.

Because it makes no sense to exclude people in match-made leveling roulettes? True, true, it doesn't. Hmm. One might even figure that's... not a parser's use except in such tightly tuned fights as where developing poor (enrage-insufficient) in-context muscle memory would cause further stress for the party later on or when trialing members for explicitly exclusive statics?

If a dps meter wouldn't make any sense in a video game, where would it make sense then?
