Why do so many people FAIL at dps.

[Kaurie]

Parsers, especially ACT, is actually sensitive to latency. High levels of latency/lost packets can actually increase ur perceived DPS because the length of time elapsed has been shortened. Thats why a running average with multiple people is more accurate.

There can be other differences as well, such as different encounter cut off times, simulating DoT crits (or not), version of plugin etc.
