I took top to top 4 in multiple 24 man raids, despite being surrounded by players that generally had better gear and main stats where they should be (probably). We even wiped a couple of times. The difference between me and other players is the amount of apathy; I don't like playing subpar in any job I'm on. I might have awful gear, but my rotations will be ones that pump out the most amount of DPS i can with what I have. However, if someone had actually checked my gear, I guarantee you I'd have been kicked, regardless of how much I might have been "carrying."
I watch videos from my friend, with what i seen at this point, I would not be shocked if a ilevel 200 out damages a 270 person by a mile, it is ridiculous how people can spend all this time in gear but not know how to play? My friend said it can be so bad at times, she feels like just spaming straight shot would outpraze many people. In another video, my friend as healer, and another as tank, where pretty much spiting damage 25% between the 4. However more frequently then not, the healer was actually top DPS on trash while the tank was top for bosses (since the healer needed to actually heal for the bosses.
