This may have been asked and answered, idk.

But how exactly effective is using stone sea sky?

I was recently in a thordan clear/farm party on my alt on brd. She is i220 and melded but I was kicked for "sub par dps". Yet I was #4-5 on the hate list (I know that doesn't mean anything) and ahead of other dps and in SSS I can down the thordan dummy with nearly a full minute remaining. I feel I know my rotations quite well and I know the fights extremely well.

I am at taking down the dummies on other/newer content as well. So how effective is SSS really?

Or are people just getting that fickle?
