What's your take on parser ppl?

There are ways to show proof of how good you are thanks to a DPS website to check if that player is good at their class or not.

There are class guides I find that are very well written but when I check their names they aren't top on the DPS charts compared to other people I've never heard of. But I'm not sure if they were actually trying either?

I've heard people who parses do whatever it takes to make their DPS look good and even go as far as doing illegal activities to get their numbers up.

So I guess the main question is, should the dps ranking website should be used to judge someone's skill level and knowledge of their class at their finest, or no?

    What about theorycrafters ? The guide you're talking about most probably, was written by one of core theorycrafters currently - and it's all backed up by math and so.

    Is calculating a perfect way to play inferior to executing it or no ? The fact that you know perfect rotation (and can prove it's the best) doesn't mean you can necessarily execute it - a lot of factors can stop you (high ping, [filtered] pc, [filtered] reflexes / muscle memory ...)

    So yeah, the question is, what is a "good player" ?

    To me a good player is someone with fast reaction and good decision making i'd say, and that usually translates to high DPS and low damage taken when you're trying your best.

    These top parses are completely misleading because they are too planned and not good representative of the player skill. I know some players on my servers that have good parse scores but die alot in RKEM and facetank every hit to increase their e-peen dps.

    Either way you need high and enough amount of party dps to sync enrage for certain skills like warriors deadly gamble. You need to tell people to slow down or stop dps'ing and let the score carried parser get perfect condition to keep his average dps high.
    These people also have unethical paid script with inhuman features that boost their dps even further which is insane combined with low ping.

    Don't take these top parse serious as they are riddled with cheaters. Hard to define a player skill these days with all these QoL h4x like rkem callout tool and such.
