DPS why don't you know your rotations?

*snip* Then there is the other argument of "You don't pay my sub", but I actually think this argument is rarer than these forums may hint at. *snip*

True. I can honestly say I have never seen that argument used in an instance.

I believe a lot of players know their rotations, after all the game points outs our general rotations pretty well, but they get flustered in the heat of the moment. As a species, we don't multitask well.

Dodging AoEs, watching for mob & boss mechanics, following a priority list, all while spell effects and other things are going off on the monitor, threaten to overwhelm our senses. Mistakes crop in as we "tune out" whatever isn't immediately presented in front of us.

Many players can rise to the challenge while other players flounder a bit. I feel it's up to all of us to have a little patience and humor when confronted with another player who doesn't seem to "get it."

Ask nicely if they'd mind some help. At that point and onwards, the ball is in their court. If they don't reply or get snotty, oh well... it's on their own head when they get kicked for doing less damage than the healer.
