Low DPS makes dungeons longer, not harder per se.
Then ofc, longer fights = larger window for mobs hitting you, added to the defensive stat not being able to actually mitigate dmg effectively = risk. Which with some dodging and active defense, makes glass cannons the best route. Not arguing about this.
But DPS just makes things easier or faster.
The encouters where the only strategy is “DPS down that dude” and everything else don’t work could be counted on one hand probably.
I know that the “full zerk everywhere or gtfo” is trendy on forums right now, but not everybody needs/want/can play that way.
I personally did few runs with a zerk group organized (no, i’m not talking about cof). Didn’t have much issues for the running itself – but kitten , almost fell asleep when the runs were for 99% of encouters “come stack here – pull – Los – cleave s*it down – move to next pull”.
Never again.
Zerk is the most effective gear for most of pve content? Yes.
Is it the only and single option that the world should accept? No.
Which doesn’t mean ppl shold run bad builds, mind you.
But “not full zerk” =/= bad build. (unless you’re min/maxing the cr*p out of a build. then running everything else zerk would cripple it, yes. Though, return to point “not everyone enjoy that”)
Well, most of ppl around here seems to think this tho, so i guess there is not much point of discussion….
