Why refusing customization is a fallacy

[Reynhart]

Dodging landslide was not a DPS check.
Killing both Caduceus at the same time was not a DPS check.
Placing Fireballs and Conflags was not a DPS check.
Placing Divebombs was not a DPS check.
Dodging Twisters was not a DPS check.
Killing adds far from bone dragon was not a DPS check.
Standing on platform to protect from Ancient Flare was not a DPS check.
Maneuveuring for Body Slam was not a DPS check.
Standing still for Blighted Bouquet was not a DPS check.
Dodging or being eaten by Rafflesia was not a DPS check.
Looking elsewhere for Cursed Voice and Petrifaction wasn't a DPS check.
Placing Homing missiles and Gaseous Bomb was not a DPS check.
Placing Meteors was not a DPS check.
Managing Fire-in, fire-out was not a DPS check.
Placing Divebombs (Again) was not a DPS check.
Grabing electric orbs was not a DPS check.
Tank swapping after Heat Lighting was not a DPS check.
Packing for Wild charge was not a DPS check.
Getting mini to enter Cerberus' belly was not a DPS check.

Damn, it's funny how many mechanics this game had where DPS don't need to be optimized...
And I'm sure the list goes on...

Caduceus' ever-building damage stacks on both snakes served as a DPS check and soft-enrage.
Conflags were a DPS check. You were putting fireballs in the conflag to increase the time allowed to meet said check.
Killing adds before they reach a death zone is a DPS check.
Rafflesia's honey bees were a DPS check.
Rafflesia's Slugs in the final phase were a DPS check.
Killing T7 Adds were a DPS check, (The final add buffs and heals the boss if you fail to kill it in time.)
T8 was literally a training dummy that shot lasers and missles.
Golems were a DPS check.
The Ghost was a DPS check.
T10 Add phase was a DPS Check.
T12 Birds was a DPS check.
T13 Zoo was a DPS check.
Savage Faust is a DPS check.
Phase 1 of Oppressor Savage is a DPS check.
Bismark: The Fight is a DPS check.
Ravana's butterflys are a DPS check.
Literally every single enrage timer serves as an overall DPS check.


Your ignorance as to what is a DPS check is astounding to say the least.

I think what he is meaning by DPS check is that it don't matter if you wear I90 or I300. If you can't play jump rope or rotate your skills right. You still suck and can wipe. Or you can be an i90 player and be better than an I300 player.

At last someone who understand, thank you very much.

You know, that's the reason why only Arcanist branches into 2 jobs, the development team realized it was a pain in the ass to balance both SCH and SMN because they shared most of their abilities.

Hmm, no it's because they needed a last minute healer

I swap around to whichever tank my group needs for best performance per fight in Savage? It's terrible, but oh well the price you pay for raiding in an unbalanced game.

You also play the jobs you like and not what the community say is "best"

And, just to be clear if I write "best" (with quotation mark) it's exactly because people CLAIMS that this is the "best", even though a lot of people beg to differ.

Because I clearly think this answer :

That's soooo stupid. It's not a choice then. It becomes mandatory to have this build or you're getting the boot.

took my "best" build litterally...

I'm not sure I like any of the tank jobs currently. Dark Knight has a lot of weird design choices that make me question how much thought was put into it, Paladin is still the typical sword and board 'tanky' tank (snooze mode), and Warrior getting a dps stance and encouraging role segregation for jobs is pretty up there on the 'meh' scale.

I do, however, like tanking so it's whatever I have to play to get the job done for best performance in group.
