If you're saying you'd rather have someome with slightly lower DPS but who is very proficent at mechanics over someome who has higher DPS but is eating avoidable damage everh chance they get I'm with you for 99% of content.


What you have to understand is that the enrage timer (in a fight that has enrage) is also a mechanic. Tbe DPS that Taika mentions did have one mechanical error - they weren't beating enrage.

Now since the group was strong they still cleared the fight but in the same train of thought a strong group could likely compensate for someone less well versed in mechanics (to an extent, I know O4S is very mechanic heavy) because a good group is a good group no matter the circumstances.

Just remember - it's all well and good to want to include everyone but in doing so you may find you're punishing yourself for no real benefit. If Taika's group had been comprised of 4 mechanically sound 3600 DPS players that run would have wiped to enrage every time. It's the other 7 people in the group who made that clear happen.
