    kinda funny ppl worry about damage per second then over all damage or death of a monster. Think ppl starting to take mmo to seriously if your not having fun. Anyway. Ya this game wasn't set up to be constently attack stuff with the 1 key. People did that on their own. Due to it being the only way to get sp. Which is no longer the case.

    Honestly, I've been trying to restrain myself from saying this, but stop posting since you clearly have no actual grasp on the game as you do not play it.
    Damage per second ties in directly to the overall damage and death of the monster. If you're dealing less damage, it dies slower. You deal more, it dies faster. If you and the group as a whole aren't doing a decent or better amount of damage, good luck killing off a mob in a timely manner.

    And that is different any other game? I'm not one to really care about dps so much as i attack something and make it dead. I had this mindset in every mmo I played.

    You guys are really getting silly with the "you don't play" When this is no different then any other mmo. I tend to not take a game to seriously. As long as the monster/creature is dead and I'm alive i typically don't care. This was the same for every game I've played. Only thing I did was find ways to kill a monster faster.

    You seem to misunderstand what DPS actually is...DPS, damage per second, will kill the mob faster. "Only thing I did was find ways to kill a monster faster." The higher your DPS, the faster the mob dies. If your DPS is low, the mob will die slowly. If your DPS is high, the mob will die faster.

    As far as the comments about you not playing...they actually have a point. You have a small grasp on semi-basic concepts from the crap that you read on the forums, but you really have no experience with the game. Take for example...you were going to have an operation on your heart. Who would you want to operate on you? Your choices are as follows: 1) A licensed brain surgeon with credentials through the roof or 2) A high school dropout that wants to operate on you because he saw it on a show once.

    In this case, you are #2.

    So, you were looking for ways to do more damage in a smaller timeframe, aka increasing your DPS? You just contradicted yourself.
    Anyways, back on topic.
    Chances are if you're hating the BR system, you aren't in a group capable of stacking and executing in a quick manner, or you didn't take the time to learn it. Hell, I learned it in less than a minute. What's so damn hard and complicated about stacking Light/Heavy attacks, then WS/Magic etc? Nothing. You just want something to complain about.

    no not really. I just try to kill a mob faster with use of abilities. I don't go in and put to much thought into how much dmg per second i'm doing. Aka I don;t take a game to seriously.

    And Yes I know what dps is. And no I'm not misunderstanding it. Its my opinion. One i'll have playing this game or ffxi or any other mmo. I tend to not put to much though and just try different timing of skills.

    Trying to kill a mob faster is still trying to increase DPS. Regardless of what you want to call it, that's what it is. You clearly do misunderstand the concept. Stop. Posting. Hell, I'll even go as far as saying get out of my state.

    dps = dmg per second. First seen for me in ffxi. This was more for the DD classes to increase their attack power and speed of which they use to do the most damage per second. This mindset also lead to "over powered" players and mild "elitism" as jobs that had no real way to maximise their dps were benched. AkA the loldrg and lolpup days. More so wuth Lol pup since they used the manuvers which "decreased" their dps.
    Thats what I learned in ffxi.

    DCUO dps is pretty much considered the DD role since all you did was damage a mob. While the main roles were Tank healer Controler.
    the dps role is not considered a role once you unlock 1 of the main 3.

    WoW pretty much the same as ffxi but actually had a stat showing your basic dps.

    I tbink people just don;t like my opinon and vs letting me have it pull the "you don't play" card as to think im going to think differently if I play.
    Just because I'm not of the same opinion as you that I don;t understand something. I could care less about a persons dps. As long as we have fun thats all I care about.
