Alex said:I'm kind of at an impasse here it feels like, our little 10 man guild was doing really nicely but the further we get, the more our DPS start to hold us back. Of all the easy fights, we struggled on Heroic Magmaw tonight, two of our DPS roughly 10,000 and double the percentage above the rest.
It's sadly not some abnormality either, it's like that on every fight, the same two people just *TOWER* above the rest and it's making everything so much harder. What really makes it mind boggling is that the two good DPS are a Death Knight and a Warrior (which creates extra issues since one or even both of them have to tank at times) and all of the mediocrity is from our ranged pures. Even on shit like Atramedes the two melee come out ahead by a large chunk, what the hell...?
I'm just fed up with dragging along a couple of "Tee hee, I got hit by every hazard and did 30-40% less damage than a melee on a boss that has an aerial phase, but I should get carried because I'm nice" kind of people. I'm a lax person, really, I never wanna be too hardcore but come on. The fun of being a DPS is to be competitive and being extremely competitive while obeying all the boss mechanics is what kills shit.
I'm still amazed we even managed the mediocre 8/13H we got this tier with the shitty DPS we have.
That basically described what happened to me last year around early March or so when my 10 man group was stuck on Sindragosa. Prior to that we more or less steamrolled everything in one go but some of us started to notice certain people were consistently fucking up or underperforming. When we reached Sindragosa the ones who were doing the bare minimum and being carried were exposed. Simple shit went right over their heads and they refused to listen to advice so we replaced them, which led to one of the most hilarious and sad breakdowns I've ever experienced on vent.
