This isn't simply telling you what your debuff is; It's reading both the placement of the lasers AND your debuff, and then telling you where to pilot your character.



Here it is reading two peoples debuffs and making a decisions about Nisi.



Here it is instantly reading the coordinates where un-targetable actors spawn, then telling you exactly where and when to stand on a plugin-compatible marker set. It even used to be able to place the markers for you dynamically in combat, before the new marker system was rolled out .

In P3S it can call the plumes 4-5 seconds before they appear on screen, due to it using the same code as Cruise Chasers Optical Sight.

In the EW final trial it can instantly determine where the safespot from the large aoes are by reading actor coordinates as they spawn.

Again, the source-code for this plugin is public and I have read large portions of it. I could pull out examples all day where it's applying logic in lieu of the player, sometimes by reading tells that aren't even visible to the player yet. Just because it doesn't support a few fights well, doesn't mean it can't offer blatant shortcuts in others. And it does all of this instantly, and without making mistakes.
Then as someone who would never use it to that kind of level, that's a bit much and definitely cheating, it could be because I never have it switched on in 99% of content and if I start seeing it doing stuff like that in Panda Savage, it's getting uninstalled and to heck with the fact that I probably won't be able to see in P3S (hopefully SE has finally done something about the orange vomit soon anyway)

I will admit my experience with it, is limited at best, could be as you put it, there's not a lot of support in current content so it's only displaying bare minimum information, but should it get that way? Uninstalled, because that's just straight telling you how to play the game.
