The parser isn't even the only issue, while I'm sure some do, I can't imagine most PlayStation users will play on keyboard and mouse, and a controller setup will not work with card with how often you will have to swap targets. I don't think the class buffing other classes to reach maximum potential is a bad thing, it's what makes AST, well, AST, but you shouldn't have to know another class' rotation so you can do it. Why should I,someone who has 0 interest in dragoon, who hasn't even unlocked it because I genuinely have no interest in melee classes, now have to go out and learn their rotation just so I can know when to buff them so my card isn't useless? Why should I have to track that down for him and 3 other people so my main mechanic isn't useless? AST should have to buff others in parties to be at it's most optimal, it always has, but it shouldn't need to know every rotation in the game, and it CERTAINLY shouldn't NEED to be on keyboard and mouse.
