First I wanna say I personally would never kick a dps for poor damage...but if they did do that maybe it would do you good to look up some info on your level 60 job. There are a plethora of helpful job guides out there just using google or even the dps section of this forum, I have used them myself & they make a huge difference. And always make sure to upgrade your weapon first as it will have the largest impact on your damage. And as a dps remember damage is your most important responsibly in group content.

I really don't wanna say this because I know it's a touchy subject & a lot of people are gonna get on me but would it be okay if you had a tank that didn't hold hate & got everyone killed, or a healer that didn't heal & got everyone killed? Just because a person chooses to play dps doesn't excuse them of their responsibilities. You can't just use the "I'm new" excuse forever. And in some instances, there are dps checks, where low dps will wipe the group. You did Sohr, so you're actually close to one of those instances now against a certain dragon...


Anyway that mentor was still in the wrong. They're supposed to mentor aka help. Not whine & kick the new people they're supposed to help. Sigh...

There's a pretty big difference between kicking someone after a few pulls on the same boss because they're such a detriment to the group that you will not be able to succeed with them in your party and kicking people who are a slight inconvenience or maybe just need an extra pull to get things down, especially if they're new to the dungeon or especially to the game. Especially in low level dungeons, they are tuned very loosely so that virtually any group will succeed, though it's possible a wipe may occur if someone really screws up. In such instances, patience with newer players to allow them to practice and gentle encouragement are probably much more helpful in the long run than kicking them for slightly inconveniencing the group, though I know it may be hard for many people to realize that because they'll never see the direct payoff of such an investment, though they still benefit from it, whether they realize it or not.
