Absolutely. Chief among them were DPS unable or unwilling to perform a proper rotation, which is the bulk of their damage. For instance, I had a Monk in V2S do nothing except Dragon Kick, Twin Snakes and Rockbreaker. Not only does Monk have two combos it needs to cycle, but Rockbreaker is an AoE and V2S has no additional targets except the boss. His numbers were nearly 50% less than a comparably geared Monk. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to notice these things since most players typically aren't pay attention to the rotations and skill usage of others unless it directly relates to their damage.
