    Who's asking for perfection? Expecting perfection for Expert Roulette, or anything outside of Savage for that matter, is completely unrealistic.

    We're asking for PASSABLE knowledge of your class and the proper rotations, not spamming your weakest move or using a GCD once every 5 seconds. I don't expect savage raiders in my Expert Roulette, I expect people to not use their single target rotation on large dungeon pulls. I expect people to know that standing in AoEs is bad 99% of the time. I expect people to press a DPS cooldown at least once a dungeon. I expect people to know the most essential mechanics of a boss fight that can cause wipes or deaths. I expect people to use current level gear (AF3 + level 67-70 Accessories) and not level 50 or 60 equipment.

    I'll do an example for RDM, a Job many consider the easiest DPS to play:

    Passable RDM:
    • Tries to avoid wasting GCDs by casting spells as often as possible, mechanics permitting.
    • Tries to avoid hardcasting VerThunder or VerAero.
    • Tries to avoid using Dualcast on Jolt I/II, Impact, and VerFire/VerStone.
    • Uses Scatter for big pulls.
    • Only uses Melee combo when it is Enchanted.

    Underperforming RDM:
    • Has frequent downtime between GCDs.
    • Hardcasts VerThunder or VerAero often.
    • Uses Dualcast on Jolt I/II, Impact, and VerFire/VerStone often.
    • Uses Scatter for single target or not used for big pulls.
    • Often uses Melee Combo without the White and Black Mana needed for the Enchanted version.
    • Uses Tether /s
