I don’t mind doing nothing as a cleric, however why would you go out of your way to destroy allied skills? Seems inefficient to me. It’s not about being top dps, it’s about removing additional DPS on the boss for no reason.
Seeing comments about how people tty to prevent their allies to make more damage…man that is sad. Those are really just immature…
true competition should be everyone being able to use all their skill to the fullest.
But in the end, in a party, you win as such and teamwork should always be #1.
I dont get the point where people sabotage their party to get the top spot. Wouldnt it feel better if you let others deal the best dps they can do and you still get to be the top dps?
Edit: sounds famliar? Yeah, that’s not far from cheating if it isnt already

Im an archer and if for example I have a tank type party mate and they refused to take the aggro then I usually just afk. Being competitive is okay but its out of control now.
For example a swordsman who lures away the boss from fire pillar or pole of agony of wizards. A swordsman that lure away the boss from the statues of diev, and so on and so forth. If they do that to me then ill just simply eat popcorns for the whole dungeon period.
the one handling the game is bad and the community is bad. the only good thing this game has to offer is its unique ART. thats it. thats all this game can offer now. hahhaa. sad how this game is turning out to be
i really dont like this feature
they should change it that you can only see your own ranking
Or just remove it completely, the ability to see your own ranking doesn’t remove the fact that measuring Dps implies a certain mentality towards the behavior of the player. Tryhards would still tryhard, it might also affect a part of meritocracy and pleasure within the gameplay.
i like this feature, it helps people actually try, i used to stand super far and just use oob (which does terrible damage) but now i actually go in and cast possession more bcuz a chaplain doing more damage than me is embarrassing
I go in if theres no one whose way higher level than me. If theres the level penalty, i play it safe.
Not going to deny that but the cons tend to outweigh the pros most of the time, nothing great ever comes out of this mechanic, never has been in any games. You get people who actually try and have healthy competition, but the reality is, that’s not how a sizeable amount of people play.
You have lazy peens who will still be lazy and afk no matter what because they don’t give two hoots about being ‘top dee-pee-sss’. You also have ego centric players who make runs longer than necessary for everyone just to stroke their own e-peen (and in the case of most swordman builds, get lagged behind most mages and archers anyways). You also have meta cuckold skirt chasers who can’t ever play a class they like properly and proceed to ask every rank 1 in dungeon/mission what their builds are and try to replicate it so they can be ‘top dee-pee-sss’, and a whole host of weird arguments I’ve seen people get into just because some supposedly ‘non-dps’ build outdps-ed a ‘dps build’ when the whole shenanigan of ‘DPS’ is the haziest it can ever be in this game which has 80 jobs with tons of different combinations you can make.
I do the same things I did before the Damage Meters. If I get a pretty 1 over my head, great. And I do quite often. It’s a pretty sight, but means very little to me otherwise.
Edit: stuff
Before this patch on my 130 boss rush runs, everyone including sw classes walks lazily, now they actually dash through the boss and use stamina pills while they’re at it, lol

What’s really funny to me is getting rank 1 - 3 while playing my new Cryo1/Linker2/Chronomancer2, who has Con and a little bit of Spr, a Toy Hammer and an Arde Dagger. I do Quicken and just stab the boss…
i love this feature
people dies more often trying to get 1 lol
The “rankings”, are they just simply for DPS or cumulative of everything done during the fight which includes support?
I mean, so many support classes are getting high ranks (1? 2?) according to this thread…
Dps counter for boss, they’re not cumulative and that means those support classes outdps.
That just means that those supports are out-dpsing the dps lel.
There should be party DPS rankings, in which making it to the top 20 nets the party a bronze reward, but if yall get into the top 10 there’s silver reward, top 5 is gold reward, top 1 is platinum reward.
Do this for ET, Dungeons, etc and have ranked leader boards in game
im just happy that most random parties now all tries to kill the boss unlike before where there will always be a freeloader(s) that needs to be carried by the team and gains exp just by sitting / being afk for no reason at all.
