DPS Enmity controls

[Aana]

This game is a lot more pleasant when you are willing to just take the occasional hit to your personal performance for the group.

In my static, if people arent using their tools, we remind them too because we are aiming for optimal play to survive savage tier content.

In PUGs, you almost always over gear the crap out of whatever you are doing. Dungeons, 24 mans, EX primals, lower tier savage fights (especially this late in the season). What does that matter? It means we have excess capacity in all areas, damage, defense, healing. So I can still win almost any PUG activity completely in defiance for example. So why should I be a stick in the mud and yell at some random guy ive never seen before to ride the line on hate when i can just use 1 more enmity combo or use a smidge of tank stance?

Peoples priorities are often backwards. In progression and cutting edge content you MUST ride or die. Max damage, razor thin margin for error. But in PUGs on most content you are well over the DPS requirements. So the priority should be safely and reliably executing mechanics and surviving. So suck it up cupcake. Use an extra enmity combo. Spend some time in tank stance to OVER mitigate and OVER enmity up. DPS miss that GCD drop that puddle/aoe a little further away to give AMPLE space to be safe. Dont whine at your healers when you died to point blank Head On to get 1 more GCD and werent mega shielded on train. Just walk the F back for 2 sec.

Ideally, everyone does their part properly and you dont need all the safety nets, but guess what, its a PUG. You dont know what youre getting so do YOUR part to make sure the run goes smoothly and play it conservatively. You will win more fights. Screw your parse. You are in a PUG clear party to win the fight, not epeen inflate. Go join a speedrun PF if that's your priority.
