DPS obsession in farm groups

While I understand and tend to agree with your statement.

Zurvan

Dps allows you to skip one mechanic in that fight which is a mechanic you still need to do the second time around, no lb 2 will not save you if you have if people still don't know how to do the mechanic all lb 2 does is change the two hits in a single mechanic= instant death and makes it a 3 hit. skipping it is nice but changes nothing for the grand scheme of the fight.

Skipping it only allow people with a parser to not have a "pause" in th fight where their dps decrease. Poor them.

By skipping the first soar, you are actually skipping several mechanics on that fight. There is also a Demon Claw/Wave Cannon that will repeat if you take your time getting to 74%. Tank LB 2 can and does, on a regular basis, save parties who don't know how to position themselves during the final soar.

I agree knowing mechanic is more important. But the sad reality we have in Cross-Party finder says differently. If you have high enough DPS, mechanics can be ignored. This is why echo works.

Was farming Zurvan with 1 tank, 1 heal and 6 (decent) dps.

What is soar?
