My guess is you play a DPS class, with high burst damage potential. Am i right?

If you played a Mystic, Priest, or a Lancer - you would understand. I don't expect you to get it.

Avoidance is more important than dps. Answer this genious.

How is a DPS meter going to show an accurate number of a Sorcs DPS, when the Sorc draws aggro 12-15 times, and the Archer draws aggro 5 times during 1 boss fight.

So the Sorc was on the move avoidng damage 3x more often than the archer - and the Archer posts a better DPS parse.

I would rather DPS be a touch less worried about doing as much damage as possible, and be more concerned with their positiong and movement.

Every time I am chain healing warriors and slayers that can't gtfo out of the way of attacks, I end up kiting bosses and healing. because the "DPS" is more concerned with his parse or inflictin damage than he is of avoiding attacks.

Sometimes - if i find myself chain healing a dps that can't avoid attacks, I just let them die. It is easier to heal 3 good players, than it is to heal 3 good and 1 bad. It puts the good players at risk when my focus is on keeping a baddie alive.

Your DPS meter will not prove a damn thing about who is good or who is bad.

Everyone knows the first 2 minutes into a boss fight, of who is good and who sucks. You can tell by who is getting pounded by attacks.

THE POST TO SINK THIS TOPIC TO BELOW GROUND LEVEL, WHERE IT BELONGS:

knoxxer on 05/07/2012, 02:51 PM
I actually believe that the damage taken by the DPS class is more important than the damage they are doing (so long as it is decent). Staying out of harm is key to keeping the healer from gaining too much agro.

You can take your time to kill the boss if your DPS is low but if your healer is forced to heal everyone than things are going to get ugly.



Sorry, OP, you tried. Knoxxer, the LEAD PRODUCER for NA-Tera, is AGAINST DPS Meters. There will be no DPS meters on NA-Tera.

YOU LOST.

lol at the dps meter the crit gap in this game is so messed up dps meter would be useless. I crit between 8k to 65k right now on instance boss? how can a dps meter be usefull In this game. In WoW ( hate to bring that game up on forum ) u can stand still tab target and just smash so good rotation is important in wow. In tera Trying to have decent dps and staying alive( for melee ) is the number one priority. skill is every thing and if people dont know yet skill dont measure in number.

so tired of seeing all these threads full of whining carebears trying to convince EME not to have BGs. they have been out in ktera for ages, and are coming here very soon. they are a way for real pvp players to compete, and get pvp gear. if you dont like this, go play on a pve server, cuz those of us who are here for competitive pvp are looking forward to this, and theres no amount of crying you can do thats going to change this

also, ktera has dps meters, and one is already being redone for NA version. the only reason i have heard that people dont like them is that they dont want to get called out for being a bad player. well too bad, if you are trash, expect to get kicked from the group.

so get over it and stop making threads about it

thanks


I would rather have people in my group who know how to dodge/block then who know how to hit something. less death means no wipe. DPS meters are for elitists and try hards.
