    It's nice and an advantage to have a group with such high DPS but what do you do with it if you cannot perform?

    Mechanics > Dps

    I'm more amused about PF with "Farm , NO BONUS" when their DPS and their performance are beyond poor. Just take Niddhog ex as an example. The amount of wipes at bombs and nails are something very common...

    People should be more focus on mechanics rather than asking for high DPS.

    Just throwing this out there.

    Those are not disjunkctive things. Especially in Zurvan, regarding soar skip, because there are no (real) mechanics up to this point.
    Point of this game is to do both: Do (and adjust) your rotation, while doing mechanics.

    Also I'm tired of this strawman. Usually a 2,5-3k parsing dps is capable of doing mechanics. What do you even make you think that those people who do a pretty good rotation are also those who fail to do the mechanics? Do you have a parser and recognize that it's always the highest parsing dps that does the mistake? I don't think so.

    Also, Mechanics in this game are (usually) easy and so is an average rotation. The only obstacle is to combine both, that is what you want to have in a farm group.
    Let's just look at Thordan Ex, a "mechanic heavy" fight. The fact that in the first phase you have to a) dodge an circle AoE (1-2s movement), b) dodge the spread AoE (1s movement), c) turn around once (2s), d) spread and then e) stack shouldn't lower your expected max dps by 30-50%. Period. Not in a farm group (nowadays you don't see all those anymore anyway. But back in the day you could aim for skipping the tankbuster).
    And that's Thordan.

    We're talking about Zurvan, there are only 2 AoEs and people still lose 50%+ of the expected dps. The only mechanics which have likely a big effect on dps are Broken Seal and Soar itself. The former is later in the fight, the latter is the thing you wanna skip. There is absolutly no excuse in not doing high dps other than "I can't" or "I don't want".
    First ones I suggest to do some more kill partys (1 kill is not enough to join a farm usually) and the other ones I'd blackilist.
