"The devs must be using dps meters since I can't do it without them" They said outright they did it without any third party tools. I know that you might think they used the wording "third party tools" to hide that they use "internal dps meter tools", but the point of that statement and test was to prove that it's possible for players to complete it with the tools they have access to by default. No player has access to any "internal dps meter tools", so for all intents and purposes in this context it is safe to assume that they didn't use their own official damage meters. I don't doubt that they have them, because they have to test the game balance, but I don't believe they were used when they were testing to see if the content could be cleared without third party addons. That would defeat the entire purpose of the test and statement that it can be cleared without third party addons.
