I was wondering, why does people count dps instead of total potency?

As I said, it is not only useful for this, but also to know if you did well as your own class.

If you do 738000 potency in 3 min with your samurai with 4100dps because you're ilvl 300, and another one does that same potency of 738000 with his samurai with 4400dps because he is ilvl314, it will mean you still played well, just need better gears, so you don't need to wait to have an optimal equipment to train your rotation for exemple.

I am surprised to see how much I've tried to use a maximum of information in very few text to be understood, and I find myself just repeating things again and again. Maybe I was not clear enough, and I'm sorry for this, if there are that many people who didn't understand me, then I guess it's my fault in the end. But I'm still wondering if people actually read what I wrote.
