i play EQ .... most groups want a setup in there like... healer, slower, tank ... DPS. DPS. DPS. so dpsing makes up 50% of the casual group in EQ, save kite groups where the whole entire group is DPS.

DPS is by FAR important in casual groups and raids..... im sure any veteran of any game has seen a raid wipe with mobs at 0% hp up to 5% hp....
only difference in a DPS and a tank is that tanks are more glorified for their achievements... kinda like defensive players on a football team... when they are at their finest, you don't hear about them.... its only when they screw up and make huge mistakes that they become noticeable... but quite obviously, they are a very important part of the overrall football team.. i mean, really, when was the last time you read about a defensive players excellent sack in the paper....

you didn't. you read about that scrawny kid who jumped a billion feet into the air and caught the ball, and then had his feet taken out from under him when he was comming back to earth =p

dps is not useless god sir knight, you should be shot in your toe o.o
