So this game has dps checks but we can't talk about our dps in game?

All that matters to me is this.

Did we beat the boss or did we not beat the boss?

Beat the boss? Good.

We didn't beat the Boss? Let's figure out why so the next go at it is a success.

DPS meters are just pure toxicity and an excuse for certain players to treat other players like garbage. I know from WoW where DPS can widely change if you get unlucky. Such as Boss mechanics screwing you over, procs not going off, and ect.

We don't need that here in FF14.

Just curious how you plan on figuring out why if you don't have any idea from a DPS perspective of what the issue could be. I've done quite a few instances where I'm the tank (as PLD, the lowest DPS one by far) and I'm 2nd or 3rd on the DPS list. Does that mean I name or shame them? Nope, but it also is very telling when my dps is 1 or 2k above a DPS and they didn't die.

What if your group's dps is just too low to clear even when you dont get damage downs or deaths? How do you plan on figuring out why you didnt clear then?
