Ramuh Rant

[SarcasmMisser]

Seriously tho, that last point is the make-or-break point of most Ramuh fights. If your healers and the tanks are not DPSing the adds your chance of clearing becomes nearly zil. Too often I see the current MT stick on Ramuh instead of attacking an add behind them, or a healer complaining why the DPS slacking when all they did was cure. Healers that can actually DPS amongst all that chaos are few and far inbetween :/

This is honestly the best point, you should know that on paper the DPS check isn't very high, only 1000 pdps is needed. But it is a disturbing norm that tanks and healers believe they should strictly stick to their job only and it is a huge handicap when they don't contribute. Tanks do not need full fending accessories for most of the stuff in this game, and they need it for virtually nothing if they have a i90 melded set, but it depresses me to hear tanks actually get abused in groups for daring to wear DPS accessories.

An exceptional tanking combo can carry at least a 3rd of that check alone, and healers don't have DPS skills for nothing, too many people underestimate the help that good tank and healer DPS has and this fight certainly punishes them for neglecting it.

To sum up: 1000dps is hard? No way. Hard when you factor in downtime and average output of most DD? It's getting close. Take out good tank and healer DPS? The straw just broke the camel's back.
