High DPS: What's the point?

[Elazu]

Pretty much the worst feature of this game: Get punished for doing too good.

Scoring high DPS numbers because you got gear is not "doing too good." That is a completely wrong attitude or idea. Being able to control and manage your DPS and power well and responsibly is what separate good from bad. Good gear is just like a good race car, but at the end of the day it is driver skill that matter. Pedal to metal guarantees you go into wall at the first turn or fly over the cliff.

If you recall from Bleach:
"all captain-level Shinigami consciously keep their Zanpakutō in a manageable size, or else everyone would be swinging around swords the size of skyscrapers .... never to judge an opponent by the size of their Zanpakutō."

I am sorry but how can you defend sloppy mechanics because people out-geared something. Its awful work plain and simple and it does need to be sorted out.

I think they need to get rid of HP based mechanics (but leave phase changes to HP checkpoints) and make it so phase changes happen after a mechanic not during... This whole HP based mechanic is horrid.

cant agree more , its retarded

By the same token the roads are "awful work plain and simple" because I can't go 100mph on average even if the basic Toyota Corolla can. I think peopel are being unfair.

Are you all cats or something. I like cats and all, but give you more yarn and you strangle yourself... Seriously?

But I get it, the elitist want to be able to wag their skyscraper sized e-peens all over the place all the time, so they can dictate to everyone else that they must do their super optimized correct rotations all the time. How about ease up on the throttle, take it slower big guy? Learn some self control.

I'm sure there are other instances to but I'm not thinking of them at the moment.

Probably the biggest example... CT Bone Dragon.

Has absolutely nothing to do with being an elitist, and absolutely everything to do with being able to put to use the gear you've collected over days/weeks/months. Your shtick is tiring. Not everything has to do with "e-peens" God forbid people play a game that heavily involves collecting gear to increase their capabilities and crazy as it may seem, have a desire to put that gear to use.

I mean basically it makes fights less enjoyable when you play to your full potential while geared up with the things you have slaved to get. Like, I really enjoy Leviathan EX. But if people play their jobs max potential with gear, it will push through phases and mash things together ruining the experience. I shouldnt have to play like I'm a noob just so the fight "works" right....its dumb.

DPS management is the latest mechanic to get a spotlight. Otherwise, higher dps - faster clears.
