Let's Get Real About 3rd Party Tools

DPS meters are largely irrelevant.

People have told me my numbers for things and I shrug it off. It changes from one duty to the next. They said so many times when the stat squish was incoming that people shouldn't worry about the numbers. It all works out to the same thing.

All that matters is everyone hitting their respective rotation properly. The only time I ever found it useful to compare numbers was when I was working on BLU as DPS. Beyond that, it's all about having the right gear, food and adjusting rotation to fit the fight. Any enrage I have seen go off happened because there were too many KOs. KOs cut your stats and therefore your dmg output. It's that simple. There is no one out there that can actually prove that DPS meters are a necessity. Every time these encounters are made, they are completed at least once without them.

Basically this. As long as you know what you're doing and can stay alive, you'll clear the fight as whatever job you are. The real issue here is the inconsistent way that the ToS is being enforced along with sectors of the playerbase using this as an excuse to witch-hunt people.
