I've seen plenty of people nailed at melee range, because it's often random what attack he uses and the safe spot may actually put you in a worse position, like back against a wall. Rath can go and do multiple rushes, or he can easy mode fireball people multiple times. His randomness catches people off guard.

And yes, mistakes one-shot you. His rush does more damage the closer you are, and some virtually one-shot you do to stunlock and follow-up poison tics. Garula's tankbuster oneshots melee, and even nails unprepared tanks, while the healer is trying to deal with damage on two players. And there are plenty of subtler mistakes a dps can make, like just being out of aoe range forcing healers to use another cure, or getting into the fact that healers can no longer save people in the second half. Your video only shows that s long as dps doesn't make any real mistakes, it's an easy fight.
