The other issue is that everyone needs to be using the same parser with the same settings or it all becomes pointless.
Yep. We have someone run the DPS parser in our DPS channel and another run the heal Parser in the heal channel and if they have their settings even slightly different on the delay of when combat starts and ends, they get different numbers.
No it was the "Swashbuckler A is trying to insert themselves down the throat of epic foe B so is not always showing the same damage to Mage C standing safely in the shadows"
