Now do I expect that in PF? Absolutely not. Nevertheless, the higher your overall DPS is, the higher your chances are for salvaging a run even if people die. Should they know the mechanic? Yes. Unfortunately, we rarely have the luxury of consistency in PF. There's a reason people locked out jobs in the early weeks of prog. Dark Knight simply gave you more wiggle room due to its monstrously higher damage in comparison to Warrior and Paladin.

As for "gitting gud." My dude, I was on P8Sp2 week one. This isn't a question of "gitting gud" but wanting to play through the fights again without having i610 crafted gear. As for why? Well, because it's fun? I couldn't understand for the life of me why people spam dungeons 100 times with their FC mates. I find dungeons painfully boring. That's me though. If they're having fun, more power to them. I wish I could feel the same. Meanwhile, those same players may feel incredibly stressed in Savage whereas I love the challenge.

I also like helping groups get their first clears or reclears going. Not to mention Ultimate. And then of course there's a website many of us enjoy ranking on.

There's a lot of reasons to keep doing Savage if you're so inclined. I wouldn't keep my sub if I only cleared once or twice.
