So this game has dps checks but we can't talk about our dps in game?

I assume OP is talking about savage/ex content? Because there's no need for parsers in normal content. I would even go as far as saying this thread (and the many other weekly threads about parsers) are evidence to why we DON'T need them. Look at the toxicity it brings just in discussions.

Think OP is talking about savage. Extremes have such a long enrage timer, if your seeing it multiple people mustve been fresh with a bunch of deaths or people afk mid run. Which doesnt require a parser to understand why you couldn't beat enrage.

P1S and P2S are similar in that regard having a low DPS check thus invalidating a parser. As long as your group is alive and is not taking multiple damage downs you should be able to clear without much need of a parser even with people who dont understand their class and people who play overally safe. It's only when you start getting into P3S + where the dps check becomes more demanding and the realization that not every clear party is capable of clearing the instance even with near "perfect play" (deathless no damage downs). Instances like this is why an ingame way to identify performance could be helpful, but given the state of the community the parser would the "source" of toxicity. Bad players will learn to blame the system for their inability to clear higher content. And any ingame criticism could be labeled as harassment depending on how the person perceives it.

and at the end of the day, nobody wins. Its better to keep parsing as an outside game thing where the option is there for those who reeeeally care about dps performance. I heard SE doesnt actively go around searching for people who have that add-on as long as you dont bring it up anyway. Its fine the way it is.
