I'd expect (I hope) new PotD at 150++ floor will require some serious compositions to tackle it through especially when rankings are at stake.
    true that, but have you tried 3 dps dungeons before? As far as the players skill making their dps terrible, how do you suggest that the devs could attempt to fix that issue its sort of something they cant fix, but is an issue that can cause content like story nidhogg completely unclearable even. Which can be a serious issue. if not addressed or fixed, which to me is probably why theyre doing this as their way of addressing the issue

    All of the guides on how to do huge damage are all made by the community. Openers are more or less the same with some variance on the fights, then the rest comes with properly managing your combos, dots, damage modifier and so on. It's safe to say that these players don't bother looking for those guides because they have no need to, or perhaps they just don't care at all. This IMO creates the illusion of "as long as I clear, my DPS is good enough", then comes the harder contents where they are struggling to clear and THEN this leads to another few problems like "my DPS was fine in that previous run (when in reality the person in question might have been carried in DPS), these other DPS are just doing very low DPS" or "I am doing low DPS and I need to improve". Now, stop for a moment here. Majority of the players do not know the real metric of their own DPS nor the standard of what they should aim for. This is for sure on SE, how do you improve players' skills to DPS better? There are multiple of ways to help players realize they are doing suboptimal DPS. The obvious one is to put a parser into the game so everyone has access to the information. But this has been a very controversial topic ever since ages ago and it remains that way, people even take it too personal and DPS players tend to be the offenders so far. SE probably can't put a gate to lock players out too just because they are incompetent to dish out standard DPS to clear like any Story mode which most players would be playing heavily.

    For example:
    1. DRK's whole DPS plan is on the Delirium when you wanna save mana, use mana for CnS and Souleater (DADP on mobs), have Blood Weapon up as much to be able to spam more DASE.
    2. PLD's DPS = Goring Blade dot up all time, Royal Authority spam, shield proc for Shield Swipe, SwO up for as much as possible, maximize FoF on best 13 GCDs.
    3. WAR's = Fell Cleaves, Maim and Storm's Eye up, Overpower/Decimate on mobs, Berserk appropriately for the best 9 GCDs.

    Each and one of the DPS plans for everyone is based on their own priority system, DPS roles have their own priorities and even healers have them too.

    SE needs to take a real stance (for the worse or better) to lessen the skillgap between top players and your averagejoes.
