Perhaps they'd think more of the group if they had abilities which required them to do so.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-25559597822013976552009-11-26T01:52:43.506-06:002009-11-26T01:52:43.506-06:00Good dps is already about damage.

Damage avoidance. <br /><br />If your good dps you'll not only be pewpewing the hardest, you'll also be the one causing the healers least trouble. <br /><br />And from what I've seen as a healer so far, a lot of dps players aren't ready to deal with more abilities, since that whole damage avoiding I just described is still quite hard apparently. <br /><br />Yes, apparently dpsers have tunnel visions too, just that if they do so not everybody falls over, and if the healer does so people start dying left and right.Sweetcherriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03904742253394231819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-56326810249609386432009-11-25T14:55:43.475-06:002009-11-25T14:55:43.475-06:00@Jeffo: You somehow timed your post for right as I...@Jeffo: You somehow timed your post for right as I was responding. GJ.<br /><br />You're right that it adds complexity, but it is complexity with benefits. To me, DKs are complex, but their abilities work together to create a very potent class, so the complexity is acceptable. Beacon of Light arguably adds complexity since it's another short-term buff to track, but the benefits far outweigh the hassle.<br /><br />I would hope that it doesn't end up all that much more complex than a tank or healer popping a cooldown for a hard phase except that it's a DPS instead.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-51362817178392234602009-11-25T14:51:50.431-06:002009-11-25T14:51:50.431-06:00I agree that DPS in general tend to be incapable o...I agree that DPS in general tend to be incapable of handling responsibility, but I believe that is more due to lack of experience. I remember a time when, despite the way we mocked hunters, somehow they managed to do a good enough job kiting Drak in UBRS. Mages sheeped, hunters trapped, it was really only warlocks who couldn't manage fear all that well, mostly because it's a tricky thing to control and impossible now that recklessness doesn't work anymore.<br /><br />It's time to raise a new generation of DPS who add more to the group than pretty numbers.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-85864141764188077802009-11-25T14:51:37.235-06:002009-11-25T14:51:37.235-06:00It's actually a pretty neat idea, but I think ...It's actually a pretty neat idea, but I think it also flies in the face of what Blizzard has been doing for some time now: it complicates the game. Blizz has been streamlining talents and abilities to make things easier for the players; this would seem to complicate things.<br /><br />DW, I think a lot of what you're seeing is something that has really risen since 'Wrath' hit. There's no longer a need for DPS to do anything BUT dish out pain and move out of the bad stuff. The people I've run with used to do more than that when they had to sheep/sap/shackle/trap. Give them the need to do something (whether it's CC or doing what Klep suggests in his post) other than that and I think *most* of them would be fine.jeffohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708074863929831135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-10087556695845610852009-11-25T10:11:59.600-06:002009-11-25T10:11:59.600-06:00I really like the idea.

But in my experience the only type of people who want responsibility in a dungeon or raid, either have a tank/healer main, or one alt that they want to change to their main. <br />Maybe thats just my experience :)Dwismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02332850111235993334noreply@blogger.com
