    No...? N-no? Are you aware the Elusive Jump, Smokescreen, Shadewalker, Shroud of Saints, and Quelling Strikes are ALL skills that play around with your enmity bar. Using an enmity bar to gauge peoples' performances is very misleading for these reasons.

    False. Meeting the recommended ilv requirement for a fight is enough to clear it as long as you know how to play your job.

    So, using my previous example here, if three DPS players are doing more than 1k DPS on Faust, but the fourth is doing half of that, and the DPS check is not being met, it's obviously the tanks' and healers' faults. Sure. Ok.

    You have not provided a single accurate explanation to back up your claim other than by showing how grossly misinformed you are.

    Battles like Faust have no mechanics. Try again.

    So instead of looking at numbers and seeing who that someone is, you'll just bash your head against the fight 6 more times and keep dying at the same spot due to a failed DPS check, and say "oh, someone isn't putting up the numbers they should, but it's better not to know who it is, even if we have the possibility to do so". Great idea. That does not sound frustrating at all.

    That comment is so general, vague, and unsupported that I'm not even going to bother thinking of a way to reply to it.
