Hi last night we had a few people thinking that aoe dps is better than actual boss dmg.

that is not true on either of the fights where adds were on. on Operator thogar the priority is Firemender = Man-at-Arms = Cannons(Range) > Crack shots > Operator > raiders and some people went out of the way to actually dps the raiders down as a priority last night.
we have some classes who actually gain single target damage from having the adds up for a bit longer than if they die instanly. on both beastlord and operator. Remember toping dps meter the most important thing its actually haveing the dps where it actually count and surviving.

If you look at the logs from last night some people are actually focusing on the lowest priority things a lot of the time.
the beasts on beast lord should be slowly cleaved down by the dmg from rogues, warriors, tanks and boomkins with the others using a small aoe ability but not going to focus on killing them until they become a problem also that doesnt mean that those classes should focus on aoeing just for the fun of it either. But please look up tacts a bit more than that you see OHH A AOE FIGHT LETS GO ALL OUT AOE!!! We actually missed a lot of boss dmg first tries where our top 2 dpsers on operator did very bad dps on priority targets.

Dps like that will most likly be a problem on blast furnace once we get there as we do actually have to know what we dps down there and not have people just do alot of aoe dmg that goes to waste most of the time so please read up on the tactics once again and ask yourself is it actually worth trying to get that dps increase from you while makeing the others in the raid suffer from it?
