Please stop telling people nonsense because you can't admit to being wrong.

The thing that changes is the duration of the fight, NOT the DPS of the mob.

The DPS that the MOB is able to perform CAN ABSOLUTELY be affected by variables introduced by other players doing things such as Stunning, Fearing, Mezzing, Kiting or Slowing the mob etc., and I am not sure why you are acting like you are not aware of that simple fact. Again, we are NOT comparing "class capabilities in a vacuum" nor assuming "perfect" play (which would only be possible by automated play/scripting, which is against the rules), nor pretending that the players in the hypothetical group are letting their groupmate solo a mob simply so that it can be argued "the DPS is the same group or solo!"

But also, that is simply NOT the ONLY thing that changes when comparing Solo vs Group environment hehe. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] The simple fact of the matter is in a group environment, variables introduced by each player affect the DPS a given PLAYER in the group will be performing / will be able to perform on a given MOB, because - UNLIKE in SOLO situations - what other players are doing "changes the DPS equation" (to use your own words).

Again, simply for the sake of civil discussion I must ask you (DSM):

If DPS captured/performed by a solo player will be the same as DPS captured/performed by a player in a group who is actively grouped with 3 others (not solo), please elaborate why you mentioned (and what you meant when you mentioned) "variables out of your control" and "once you add in outside variables, that changes the DPS equation" in regards to DPS performance while grouped in the below - direct - Quotes?

in a group setting, there are too many variables out of your control that can skew the data

Once you add in outside variables, that changes the DPS equation NOT because of what the class can do, but because of what other players are doing.
