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

[Daralii]

Sadly that is partially true. They think they are doing awesome when there are other people playing the same job doing double the dps.

If my experiences in WoW taught me anything, it's that people will refuse to admit fault even if there's numerical proof of it.

Even money that their tanks weren't horrible, but they were getting blamed anyway.

That's just how shitty players roll. Blame everyone but yourself.

Which is why they always stay at that level also. Why they get stuck on content.

As a healer i learned how to technically solo heal most of the fight and solo both DKs & field generator. I do allllll of that ( even during weather phase ) so that dps can just do 2 things.
- pay attention to mechanics
- press buttons to execute decent dps.
But nope they usually fail one of those and often most will fail both during the weather phase.
Here i am dpsing, healing and doing the mechanics. But here u r struggling to do 1 thing?

"But its hard to pull out good dps while doing mechanics" sure thats true but honestly mechanics aren't really anything new. Its just DDR still lol.
Also im still am a firm believer in
"If they r new its understandable"
But if ur in a clear party pulling tht kind of dps then imo ur just bad wanting to get carried.

Because some people suck at their jobs.

I've only done bismarck ex once, I thought it was so boring so i never wanted to do it again.
But we had no problems at all, we wiped twice because it was my first time and I shouldn't have used bane just as bubbles popped and we got lightning weather. And the 2nd time shadowflare made us wipe because once again, the bubbles died (Dear SE please dont make fights where we cant kill stuff, Summoners get very sad when we manually have to dot everything :c)

But i didn't even notice where the dps checks were, we just killed stuff and killed the back thingy and done. It felt more like a guildhest than an ex primal

They'll badger their ls to carry them after chanting "if only i had a competent group" for weeks on end; followed by leading PF farms with onestrike rules. Which flop.
I'm more likely to assist people who show humility and say that they make mistakes and are honest on progression, people who rave on about how terrible how everyone not-them are completely kills my motivation. I'm not convinced.

Sad truth is that most of the people that play this game are absolutely awful at it.

you are always awfully playing because there is awlays someone playing better then you and always someone telling you how bad you are and how you little so know of your class, even if you think you are a Master at it.

Keep this in mind before going about pointing fingers, that is why there is a group to compensate the weakness of others, sometimes is your weakness that is compensated and sometimes you have to do that..

Just me though...I am always careful before pointing fingers at others and calling them bad.

Yesterday I joined a Ex Bismarck Party for newbies as WHM. During the first phase we wiped. I was told by someone that my DPS was higher than 2 of the other DPS, when we reached second phase we wiped because we didn't have enough DPS... Sometimes I don't know what are DPS classes doing. Our WAR was the second with highest DPS.

Dps is more skill based in this game than tanking/healing, something opposite of most other mmos. Getting 7-800 dps is the bare minimum a 175~ dps should be doing, and yet, most in bis or alex parse 4-500. This is just a lack of understanding how mmo dps rotations work. Most people don't spend their time outside of a game reading, researching, watching vids, theorycrafting, and most people also don't even know what a training dummy is for in game. It'd be great if they put in a required quest, a la wow proving grounds, where a dps must get ~600 on a dummy before they can queue for alex or ex, but 75% of the playerbase would quit. They are that bad.

[Sapphic]

And anyone with an ounce of sense will try to learn from them to self improve instead of ignoring them or outright insulting them which happens too much as so many bad players either don't care or their ego is so fragile/big they are blinded by it.

Just me though...I am always careful before pointing fingers at others and calling them bad.

Theres a difference in someone being just under and it being easily covered by the rest to get the clear. No-one is really complaining about that. It's when DPS is so low that content is impossible to clear and then the DPS have the audacity to turn around and blame everyone else, even when they were playing badly. AKA not able to meet DPS checks even when over geared and unable to handle mechanics, dodge any AE because they are tunnel visioned doing their one button mashing. Or the tank cant be bothered to pop a cooldown when a tank buster is coming with not enough HP to survive it without a cooldown that they either wasted on something trivial, or just dont care about using it then turning around and blaming the healer.

But honest question, why do you care when you obviously don't play the game. Your gear hasnt changed in at least a year and your last achievement was 04/02/2014 Character achievement "Leaving a Good Impression III" earned!
