As such, DPS more rewards your party for placing its skilled players in that role -- or, more rewards players for becoming skilled in that role (as compared to tanks or healers).
In a good group, dps do 12% (brd-dnc)-15% of the damage, tanks do 10%-12% of the damage, I dont feel more useful parsing 99 on drg rather than on gnb ?
And even the high end optimization is not that hard on most dps classes, i'll argue that the 6-2 drk rotation is harder than at least half of the dps classes ?

I dont understand ?
