Why the nerf to p8s?

[Jeeqbit]

I generally don't think DPS checks need to be harsh to make a fight harder, I think failing the mechs and making the fight in general be hard would help move people away from a DPS obsessed meta

Had to stop at that bit. This is an MMO. People will never move away from being obsessed with DPS. People are obsessed with DPS even in normal content without an enrage. It's not like people tell healers to DPS in dungeons because of the off chance they'll become a world first racer whose DPS is required in the first week. They do it just because they are obsessed with DPS for the sake of it.
