ATron52 Said: "Your math makes absolutely no sense. 5 DPS doing 15% less that what they *could* be doing is /gasp a 15% DPS decrease for the raid. Actually a bit less since tanks deal decent damage and healers can too on occasion.
Raid
Tank - 125k
Tank - 70k
"Suboptimal" DPS 1 - 144.5k instead of 170k.
"Suboptimal" DPS 2 - 140.25k instead of 165k
"Suboptimal" DPS 3 - 153k instead of 180k
"Suboptimal" DPS 4 - 127.5k instead of 150k
"Suboptimal" DPS 5 - 123.25k instead of 145k.
Heal 1 - 40k
Heal 2 - 10k
Heal 3 - 5k
Raid DPS of 938.5k instead of 1060k - an 11.5% decrease. So yes, the "wild" 25-50% figure thrown out is a complete fabrication. One which I have no clue why you're clinging to it so adamantly."

I am no rocket scientist but I know that 5 dps x 10% = 50%
I think I'm done here, the posts are getting more and more skewed by personal bias as they go. Someone correct my math for me if I somehow forgot my times tables from 3rd grade, we wouldnt want to make wild claims!"
ATron52 Said: "By that logic, if you have 5 people doing 20% less DPS then the raid is doing 100% less. Meaning they aren't attacking at all. Please learn to use math before defending that claim. Look to my previous post and you can see that 5 DPS doing 15% less is less than a 15% DPS decrease in the overall raid. It's not hard. It's basic percentages."
