The "To DPS" vs "Not DPS" Debate

[SeraviEdalborez]

With that being said, this is not to say healer DPS isn't contributing to a clear, but allows the party to clear content faster. HOWEVER, when a healer (or to a degree, even a Tank) is outright blamed for causing a wipe when the DPS can't clear the content in a DPS check and are of appropaite level, then the fault is not the healers, but of the DPS instead.

I don't disagree, but I also wonder what you believe is appropriate ilvl for something like T8.

I don't disagree, but I also wonder what you believe is appropriate ilvl for something like T8.

If I were to use the original coil as the basis:

T1 = i70
T2 = i73
T4 = i77
T5 = i82

And then assume you could do T6 at i90, my guess would be T8 is tuned to i97. Given I believe the first T8 clear was downed within the 2nd week of patch launch (1st week also only being half a week), this means that at most the average ilvl of a group would probably be around 92-94. This is why I respect the end game hardcore community because they know how to get the maximum output possible to achieve content below the recommended gearing. And yes, in this case, you WILL need your healers DPSing at every opprotunity to clear it since you'll need every single possible ounce of efficiency of your group to clear that~ (but the players who are doing this understand this already)
