Limitless Blue (Extreme) - Why do many people still fail DPS checks?

I don't get it.....they usually have better gear than the weapons it drops.

And why can't I set the Journal to not display it on my HUD all the time without abandoning it entirely?

Because many people are awful at their Jobs, and unfortunately SE is not working on anything such as a personal parser to check. If you call them out, you can get reported and temporarily banned apparently.

The same way a 60 bard can refuse to use WM and pull about 350 dps.

Probably to do with the fact they're not really tested by any of the MSQ hard enough. Some bits and pieces can come close (nidhogg.. i guess?) but are easily carried by others. DPS are usually the class picked by those wanting to avoid responsibility and around now's the time they have to wake up. This reminds me of conflagration fail in T5 w/ echo.

I'm more surprised by the fact that all the Bismark EX gear is generally useless. You'll probably have i180 weapons before you even try the fight. It's too bad they didn't make it drop i190 rings instead.

Now watch it happen in an upcoming patch like what they did with Ramuh EX. "Please look forward to it!"

It'll get nerfed to allow the people who have no idea how to play a dps job correctly win most likely. If you've ever run this fight or any expert dungeon as a parser you'll see some dps 300-400 lower than others. That is quite sad.

Have you done expert roulette yet?

I can't tell you how many black mages I met that refuse to use their tier IV spells. I cringe every time.
