If he's doing 'just enough' to ensure that the duty is completed then I don't really see the issue with it. Experts are only stressful when there's someone who can't stop micromanaging every little thing. I can't say I'd ever intentionally go out of my way to examine someone's gear in a dungeon run unless they were dying repeatedly.
Flame private third class. Awwwww yissssss.
Benefit of the doubt, maybe he just switched GC's.

Woe to the vanquished, mournful tear, glorious...Eternal King...Ah...Whom today we commemorate...I am the death of death.
He did about 400 DPS throughout the run. I didn't complain. I put him on my back and finished the dungeon. It was well worth the laugh and screenshot.If he's doing 'just enough' to ensure that the duty is completed then I don't really see the issue with it.

This attitude is likely why pugs still can't beat the DPS check on Bismarck.
The ilevel sync doesn't sync you up, only down. And weapon damage effects LB quite a lot. So by having an i110 equipped is a pretty staggering drop from i150.Actually I don't think that would be just the weapon (though it would be partly). There's an ilvl sync to 150 anyway. WHM have a pvp skill called attunement which greatly increases their evasion, and nullifies damage by 90% for ten seconds. They can't move of do anything during that 10 seconds, but they are pretty damn invincible while it's active.
And the WHM definitely wasn't using Attunement since they were moving around.
I'd love to insert a snarky remark about DRGs here, but I can't say anything. I was running around using a crafting chestpiece as a level 60 MCH for God only knows how long. I know for a fact that I glamoured that stupid thing, but something, somewhere went wrong.
When someone asked me if that was my normal gear, I proudly stated, "Yes, yes it is!"
That hindsight, though. >_>
Was doing A1 yesterday and wondering why a healer had almost 17k health had all Vit acc and assumed put all their extra points into Vit as well.
This is Fractal. As a second DPS, "just enough that the duty is completed" can honestly mean going AFK for the whole run because it can be completed with 1 DPS; that doesn't mean that it's ok for them to do that, or pull 400 DPS as a DRAGOON (the strongest single-target DPS job right now) at level 60. If a healer or tank performs their role equivalent of what the DRG was doing, it's most likely a wipe. It's only "ok" because the other DPS was picking up the slack.If he's doing 'just enough' to ensure that the duty is completed then I don't really see the issue with it.

This doesn't have to be "min-max srs business", but honestly the misconception that so many players have that performing your correct DPS rotation is min-maxing, is why DPS checks are some of the most frustrating things that this game has. When you play poorly and still complete the duty, it's only because someone else on the team had to carry the extra weight.
I once had a ninja with 2 VIT accessories. When I asked why, he said, "so I don't have to worry about moving out of aoe so I can keep my DPS up."
