DPS Misconceptions

DPS of all classes who blatantly ignore fight mechanics

This why so many CT battles seem to fail.



It's also noticeable when a DPS is lacking or when someone (DPS or Healer) is under-geared.

I take it that you are either a tank, or you just ignored the fact that tanks too can be under-geared. Try running a Stone Vigil for example with a tank that has lvl 20 dps gear. Thats not only noticeable, it's also fairly impossible. With undet geared dps, it's noticeable cause it just takes a bit longer to kill everything.

I know that feeling, and appreciate that mind set. I regularly clear EX Primals and T5, but every now and then I will do something even I can admit was dumb... like die to landslides on Titan HM xD

This is the kind of thing I was referring to. DPS totally useless and expendable (why are they even in this game? no one knows). This person gets bonus points for thinking healers don't do much either.

Btw, this is what dumping on other classes actually looks like.
