What you Need:
Star Parse
Also recommended: An account at Parsely for uploading and storing combat logs.
Rules During Parse:
Basically, you are allowed to use any ordinary abilities at your disposal that could be done before or during a boss fight without any previous encounters. Examples would be:
If you do not have the Ship Dummy, or debuffs, a DMG member will gladly take you onto their ships to do a parse.
How to Submit a Parse to Us:
You can either take a screenshot of the Star Parse combat overview screen (shown below), or upload to parsely and provide a link to the parse. Parses can be uploaded directly to parsely from Star Parse and are handy to have around for more detailed analysis. Just right click on the combat log of interest and choose "Upload selected combat". You will need a parsely account to do this.
Video Example
This video demonstrates parsing using the rules listed above, including an example of permissible out of combat stack building for shadows. I'm also using the live overlay from Star Parse just as a matter of habit, but it is not necessary nor would it be the acceptable screenshot output for submitting a parse. You should use the full overview screen from Star Parse as shown above.

- Ship Operations Dummy (available as a legacy unlock)
- Training Dummy Advanced Health Modulator - sets the dummy's health to 1.5 million
- Training Dummy Armor Reduction Module - applies all class debuffs to the dummy
Rules During Parse:
Basically, you are allowed to use any ordinary abilities at your disposal that could be done before or during a boss fight without any previous encounters. Examples would be:
- Stim
- All Class Buffs (it's okay to have someone buff you with any that are missing from your legacy)
- Adrenal off cooldown.
- Raid Buff that you execute yourself.
- Pre-execution of out of combat abilities for building stacks (commando supercharged cell from self-heal, sentinel centering stacks from introspection with contemplation utility, etc.)
- Once combat begins, DPS until dummy is killed.
If you do not have the Ship Dummy, or debuffs, a DMG member will gladly take you onto their ships to do a parse.
