I was wondering, why does people count dps instead of total potency?

Inuk9, I didn't say the opposite. But if you read this part of the forum, people talk about balance of classes by comparing those "rng" numbers. It just feels wrong to just take those random numbers and talk about balance. Which is why talking about "Total DPS / Toal PPS (potency per second) / Attack stats / Crit stats / number of crits" would feel more interesting. And RNG doesn't really show if you're playing well or not, which is frustrating if you just don't know if people are better than you or not.

Adriosh : thanks a lot, I'm relieved to know some program are made for this (and even more theory crafters use those numbers ^^) (are we not allowed to mention this program? I mean SE said we can use parsers, they just ban those who use them to trash talk people they play with).
