Alex Savage dps requirements?

[Garlyle]

I've heard of 6500 DPS being sufficient to clear... and 8000 DPS being insufficient. The trick, of course, is that this all fails to account for AoE damage sources going on, exact strategies, things like positioning of mobs for auto-AoE parts of the rotation (eg Elixir Drive), etc

Point is, the requirement on DPS is currently very high, and players are pretty much going to have to have some healer DPS added as well.

No idea about the whole thing at all, but ^this^ is something the devs have said themselves, if I remember correctly, in one of the live letters. That they'd actually be doing this and design the fight with healer DPS in mind. So I guess it's not surprising if it's indeed the case.

How are healers doing with dpsing without any accuracy? Or did the hardcore groups that already clear do melded acc acc to get around this?

Combust, Combust II, Bio and Bio II don't require accuracy.

I'm well aware...

Could it be that the 8000 enrage was on Faust, and the 6500 clear was on Oppressor? From what I've heard the Oppressor has an HP check on tanks so dps requirement wasn't as high as Faust.
