parse
What does parse mean?
A ranked measurement of how you performed in a fight, pulled from combat logs and graded as a percentile. A grey parse is rough; a gold or pink parse means you're elite.
"Pulled a 99 parse on that boss, best dummy DPS I've ever hit."
Origin
From combat-logging tools like FFLogs/Warcraft Logs that 'parse' your performance into a colour-coded percentile.
Frequently asked questions

Logs colour-code by percentile: grey is bottom-tier, then green, blue, purple, orange, and pink/gold at the very top. The colour tells everyone at a glance how you ranked.
