Please go DPS when you enter the duos!!!

    I can, and have, soloed both duos because people I get paired with abandon the instance when they see that I do them in healer role. I've had a LOT of DPS yell up a storm along the lines of "OMG WHY ARE YOU A HEALER" while I proceed to out-dps them by the end of the instance. There's no excuse for letting a healer out DPS you when you're in DPS role.

    If I out dps you as a healer and you're a dps... you suck, sorry, but it's the truth. This goes for alerts and raids too, and believe me I've out dpsed my fair share of "DPS" on raids and the like as well.

    It's people who dont know how to play the game and then b!tc# up a storm about the game being to hard rather than learning the game mechanics and how to be good that bring down the DCUO community as a whole.

    I am not trolling, just frustrated getting paired with a healer majority of the time. since my power is rage, last thing I want to see is a healer.

    And I'm glad that it's your opinion. In my opinion, please run any role except DPS. Let me do the Damage. :cool:

    If I run the T6 duos as the dps, i'll take any support role over another DPS any day. I can handle the burn fine on my own. Being able to have a support role in there means being able to get any associated feats with the duo in question in one shot, even if I have them already, I can help the other guy/gal get them. If I see another DPS in there, I switch armories to support role unless said DPS isn't using WM (they need to be, that's part of the intention with T6).

    You will be happy to know you never have to worry about me showing up in your duo as a healer or troll .. because I have a buddy I team with regularly and I never run duos with anyone else.

    now that we have that out of the way .. Seriously? Have you even teamed with Celestial Healer? Especially now that Armories make combat switches so easy. I have done both.. just run in heal mode from start to finish or run in DPS mode till we hit the final boss and then switch to help keep my friend alive while we both pound on the boss. Same thing goes for my Trolls and I have several of those.

    I NEVER switch my Quantum out of Troll mode and the stuns I have keep most mobs hanging helpless while we beat on them and my supercharger turns the damage a boss is doing back on him when we hit end battle. That doesn't even take into consideration the attacks I have that debuff so the mobs or boss take more damage or the fact that I keep a DPS in action by keeping the power up.

    Yeah its possible to burn through a duo with two DPS but its just as much fun and generally a lot less stressful doing it with a support character along to either keep you healed or keep your power level high. But hey you play anyway you like.

    im complaining about slow burn? I just want a more useful partner in a duo. and If you was smart enough to read the other posts, you would see that DPS IS NOT my main role, I just go dps in duo missions, in alerts/raids, im a tank. so save your respec token, thank you

    done it multiple times already, which is why it is my preference lol. all success
  11. Yolo New Player

    yes but even if it's not your main role rage hits so hard that ads should be melting in front of you. and yes you are complaining about slow burn. the title says go DPS. there's no other reason to have 2 dps except for faster burn. it's obvious you are not good at rage dps so as i said before i can donate a respec token to you. find another support power that you would actually be good dpsing with.

    obviously you missed the point, I DO NOT NEED A HEALER as a rage toon. I say go DPS cause imo it is more useful while running a duo. I even said I end up finishing the port of paradise duo by myself.
    Considering that you made a thread posting why you keep getting yelled at and cursed out in A&B and arguing with other people on how "your way is better" I see you have a history of missing the point :rolleyes:

    if you don't want to run with a healer then do it with a friend. also having a healer means you don't have to bother doing the rage crash thing either. i just don't understand how a rage dps would need to complain about any role he gets in a duo since for a rage dps it's basically a solo.

    Without a doubt, the most enjoyable runs for T6 duos are 1+1 (dps/support).

    Yes, 2 DPS can do it … but the luck on a draw of 2 DPS that *can* do it smoothly in a queued instance is much less.

    I'll take no wipes and + 3 minutes, thanks, Bob.

    Why not stay healer. I am out dpsing every dps I get paired with. I tell them I dont need them to do this duo I can solo it. They are just there to watch.
