How would an optional, official parser be toxic?

[JohnSpawnVFX]

If you are try to improve, a better tool is to record your fights and see where you are making mistakes. Analyzing a fight to understand where to stand, when to use CDs, how to change your rotation to fit the fight is more help than have a raw parser number. A parser gives you and number , but no supporting supporting data that can help you improve. You could the a fight with the same gear and use the same rotation but get two very different numbers. Why, may you got hit with RNG mechanics that jail you or the boss was position badly so you parsed low. Maybe you got party buff you didn't realized and parsed high. Parses can be helpful , but alone they are not great tool for improving on fights.

"That website where people upload parses to" lets you analyze all that information. Associating that to a recording of the actual fight would be icing on the cake (improving and acceleratign the analysis process)

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?

No feelings intended.


I've actually read about people using them as ast to know which of their randoms would make the most use out of their cards.


I think we should all have parsers, obfuscation of our performance isn't helpful in the long run.

I'm just too lazy to deal with setting it up myself.
