This game needs better DPS feedback

[KarstenS]

You know, people not caring or knowing about their DPS can also become problematic to other players. Most recently, in a situation like A8 when it was still relatively new.

Its not a "past" issue.

It is still there.

Got a group this weekend with very bad overall DPS.

One of them did less than 400 DPS. The next one was around 550 DPS and the last was a little bit lower than 600 DPS.

I dealt around 1200 DPS, but that was not enough to catch up and bring this fight to an end. Between 55-60% the enrage did finish us.

I do not play DD as my main job and I'm not focussing to get the playstyle close to its maximum. I do not use food or pots for this job. I have not the best gear or am close to BiS. It should be an easy thing to beat my damage numbers.

So yes:

people not caring or knowing about their DPS [...] become problematic to other players

My condolences. It always makes me wonder what people do to get that low, though perhaps the answer lies in them not doing much. ~_~
