DPS checks vs mechanics

[NaySilver]

DPS check is an artificial why to make all roles pull their equal share in the encounter. Healers and tank have a very visual indicator on whether they are good enough for the encounter, dps is less visible so SE added the "DPS Check". If tank can't meet the requirement, wipe. If healers can't keep up, wipe. If dps can't meet the requirement, just takes a very loooong time.

Mmmm no. Don't get me wrong, you're right, but not on FF XIV, since players react to dps check claiming more dps from tanks and healers. For this reason, right now dps checks on FFXIV are totally useless, just more work for healers and tanks.

SE can create a situation where the tanks and healers are seperated from the DPS, where the DPS then have to beat down objects/machinery in order to free the tanks and healers before they get KO'd.
