That, or by failing your role as a tank/healer/dps or failing the boss's specific mechanics, but if that happens then it's very easy to notice that you screwed up, so you know what you did wrong and how to improve on it.
In PSO2 there is no easy way. Also let's say I want to try out different rotations - PA combinations, or if you're a hero, whether it's better to switch weapons around or to stick to one, etc. Theorycrafting can only get you so far, but how can you judge what works better in practice? You need to parse. Sticking to one thing and not going past it because "that works good enough for me" is how we get so many rising slash holders.
