    We already see this happening via watching the threat meter. I really doubt it'll make more groups fail. If anything, if in a first run someone is low and sees it, might motivate them to step up.

    If they can't hack it, well they don't deserve to be carried by people who don't know them. Of course friend/fc groups may choose to continue and carry the weakerembers anyway.

    Eh, I blow Quelling Strikes at the start of any trial fight and at any point where I have to attack a new threat target. While I usually don't need it, sometimes the tank just doesn't seem to ramp up fast enough and I end up with Garuda in my face a couple of spells into the pull. However, I usually glance at the threat meters when I get a short break in the fight (for example, at the first jump on EX) and realize that I'm down around 5th or 6th on the list, start wondering what I'm doing wrong, then abruptly realize "oh, right, Quelling Strikes".

    In short, threat meters are not necessarily a reliable indicator of DPS.
