DPS obsession in farm groups

[BorisDaBlade]

Everyone acts like Zurvan's soar is the first mechanic SE ever allowed to be skipped with high dps. You can skip like 3 mechs in the first phase alone in Sophia with high dps.

Imho, the reason skipping soar is so important is because people just CAN NOT do the mechanic properly. And most parties cheese the second soar with a tank LB. The git gud should be about the mechanic and not the initial burst dps. Especially in PF or RF.

Save your "Skip soar or disband!" For your static

This remembers me the parties sitting minutes waiting ADS enrage because they miserably fail dealing with Allagan Rot. And call themselves raiders. So funny.

Some people can't do Mechanics to save their lives. Some can't do DPS to save their lives. The people who get matched with you in PUGs can't do either. :P

Snip.

While I agree with some players the motive behind wanting to skip Soar is because they can't do the mechanic, the prevailing reason is that not skipping Soar is a huge visual indication of bad performing DPS, since the requirement to skip it isn't that high. The issue is, the type of people who got away with not bothering to learn their openers (or their Job) properly in previous trials are now put on the spot because a good opener is practically the difference between seeing Soar and avoiding it entirely. Even worse is when you have 5-6 DPS and you still see it, so you're basically putting the burden on the single Tank and Healers, with no benefit of getting a faster clear (i.e. the intent behind having extra DPS to begin with) anyway.
