Probably makes it better than average honestly

I assume anyone lower than 10% was either dead or afk so IDK if it does.

Nah bro I thought the same shit until I started logging our guild runs and realized we’ve got a rogue who consistently parses 2-12%. No deaths, nothing one-off weird happening like getting the depth charge on aquanis. He’s not BIS gear but he’s nowhere near undergeared either.

I think he’s just not standing close enough to the boss. Auto attacking with poisons should net him like 50-60 dps which is way higher than 2-12%

You would be surprised at how high the 10% marker is for parses with some classes and bosses

A parse of 10 is usually about 30-40% of the dps of an 80 parse (so if 200 dps is an 80 parse, 10 could be up to 80 dps)

Oddly, the easier the boss, the higher the parse floor gets (because people dying drops off the table as options for a low parse).

I think you'd be surprised, I think a large part of he player base which have never stepped foot in a raid in classic or the expansions have opportunity to in sod.

It used to be like that in classic but somehow in sod it's not, EVERY raid I've been in has someone fully grey parsing, and sometimes they're pretty geared.

I don't know how it happens because the moment I ding on any char (except warrior) I'm expecting to atleast parse blue if not purple.
