The only DoT I've seen overestimated in parser is Fracture, since the parser can't differentiate between a WAR's Fracture and a cross-class Fracture. Both run for 30 seconds.

Nevertheless, all direct damage data is copy-pasted from FFXIV's chat log and all DoT data is a product of the author. I think relying on the parser's DPS feedback is unwise until we can extract DoT damage directly from the game.

We know for a fact DoTs receive all the benefits of STR, WDMG, DET, crit and damage multipliers. It's completely nonsensical for MNK DoTs to inflict less DPS than other skills, unless it's due to:
1) Player error - attempting to overwrite a waning DoT with a weaker form of that DoT (no effect)
2) Parser error - the parser does not correctly process the DPS rating of DoTs, even if the values are overestimated compared to in-game values - and again, I want to underscore the parser doesn't know when you use BfB/GL3/Internal Release on your DoTs, but it does know when you use them for direct damage WS.

I know this won't stop some people from barging into the forums with their big, smug grins saying "HAY SMN IZ BEST DPSESES MUNKZ R U EVEN TYRING?" or dickbutts on DF saying "I AM PARSING THIS AND THE PARSER IS THE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY ON EVERYTHING" but every little bit helps, I suppose.
