This is the dumbest take lol

Try doing Velks and Seb with low DPS and see how well your group does. Definitely going to be a highly efficient EXP group!

I have played on this server for years and have never seen a gear check outside of raid requirement gear, which isn't DPS related. If it mattered, a lot of people wouldn't be getting groups at all due to gear.

I have been in plenty of groups (including Velks) with bad DPS and we did fine. Most people on P99 are not Min/Maxing EXP groups precisely because DPS doesn't matter that much. Honestly most mobs in this game have pretty low HP.

Making charm break far less often, pretty much never breaking at all (before the duration ends on its own) when you're stacking the max resist debuff, is definitely a very helpful thing.

Your opinions in this thread have all been moronic. Very Ogre.

You seem to think Enchanters don't solo. Enchanters do not NEED the Malo line of spells for the most part to successfully charm. Enchanters can also give -MR gear to their pets. If an Enchanter wants a duo partner, they are going to pick other classes over a Mage, such as a Cleric. For the majority of encounters it really isn't necessary, and again Mages do not have a monopoly on resist debuffs. It isn't like every group is clamoring for a Shaman/Mage specifically because of Malo. In some cases it is required, but not for the majority of encounters.

Just because most people aren't ridiculously anal people who are going to do gear checks before letting you into a group doesn't mean that DPS doesn't matter.

It does, because if DPS was a huge deal then most groups wouldn't be able to clear content in a manner most people are comfortable with. Most people would be anal if you literally could not clear most content without a well formed group both in terms of gear and composition.

But on P99 most groups can be successful with most content, regardless of gear and composition. This is simply fact.

Imagine thinking that DPS doesn't matter because people aren't assholes who gatekeep people based on gear.

Your argument is also pointless because you're applying it to P99 as though it's an MMO with a full, healthy population. I.e., it's not like you always have 10 people sitting there clamoring to get into your group. You take who is available because otherwise you might not have anyone to fill that spot. Unless you're in KC it's not like you have a wealth of players to choose from. So your argument is pointless.
