Why are low standards for dps acceptable?

[Andrea]

For the sake of this argument Hot Shot is exactly like Enochian. Both give a 5% boost to damage. The OPs complaint was they were not using Enochian, nevermind the level 60 rotation right now.

Ok lets see if I can explain this.

Hotshot doesn't lock behind it 90% of MCH rotation behind it. Enochain does. If you arent at all even popping enochian then you obviously aren't doing 90% of your rotation.

A MCH that forgets to do hotshot now and again can indeed be top dps in a run like you said, and can indeed do pretty good dps even with forgetting it.

A BLM cannot do either of those things without using Enochain.

We can argue all day but they aren't even in the same league. A MCH who forgets hot shot but does everything else is trying. A BLM that doesn't use enochain is not.
