Tools for devicing new Strats for raids

Since we are trying to device strategies for new Raiding instances would it be helpful to use some combat
statistics tools?

Before starting the raid we call all switch on our parsing tools and record the combat log. After the battle
one can collect the info and see analytically what happened during the combat. That way it will be easier to
come up with a strategy and avoid unnecessary whips. Or catch up something that was missed during the combat heat.

What do you think about Cstats as a parsing tool?

Is there any other tool better currently available?

I know we are a kin that doesn't need to device tactics, we just kill everything, but why not check
who is the weakest link...

Just kidding

Melee would appear useless in the raid if DPS parsers were used and ranged may be tempted to over dps to top the tables and grab aggro... It's nice to see your own dps to improve on your own skills but there are disadvantages to having everyone use them.

cstat does not show you all the combat, it only shows DPS and healing. it does not show u what u mezz,stun ,fear,root and how long it does not show you how many shots u missed or how many of ur skills are resisted etc
