It is assumed that after 70 levels of content and dungeons that a player understands how to avoid avoidable damage (not even accounting for any outside experience with Real Time RPG systems). Not optimize around it to minimize downtime, but at least avoid it. I should not have to state that "Don't !@#%ing die" is part of someone's 'role'. It's everyone's. It shouldn't need clarification, but here we are.

It is assumed that after 70 levels of content and dungeons that a player understands how to use all of their useful abilities. Not optimize them, but at least always be using something. I should not have to state that "Don't forget to use your !@#%ing DPS abilities too!" is part of someone's 'role'. It's everyone's. It shouldn't need clarification, but here we are.
