DPS = damage per second, not damage at my own pace whenever I get around to it. If we don’t care how long it takes to kill stuff, why bring DPS at all?
There’s a reason all raid bosses have some sort of enrage timer (hard or soft): without timer, there is no sense of urgency. There’s no such thing as a slow-paced action movie.
What prompted this post? You asked a question and then kind of answered it. I’m not following the point.
I’ve been trying to explain that they just need to incentivize speed by implementing a form of cruel and unusual punishment to do so.

dungeon starts
Safety Dance begins to play at max volume and cannot be stopped until the key is finished
You race to see if you can finish the key before taking a hammer to your speakers.
So our reward for not dealing with dps is getting to rock out to safety dance?
Sounds like a good trade to me
More DPS = less time fighting.
Less time fighting = lesser probability of making mistakes and wiping.
To illustrate: You are more likely to make a wiping mistake on a 4 hours fight than on a 5 minutes fight.
For you they will open a window that plays Amy Schumer standup.
a belt is meant to hold your pants up, but the pants have little loops that are holding the belt up. What even is real anymore?!?
Wait she was a comedian?
I don’t know but she’s terrible so I took a stab at this working for you.
Players who object to timers, plus trending poll on replacing M+ timer with death counter.
Hmm, it would get old listening to her ranting about not showering or whatever else she talks about
I think with the proper algorithm we could find a way to make everyone hate it enough to want to go fast while only having a death limit.
He wanted the increased attention from making his own thread instead of posting this in one of the dozen other threads on the same exact topic. Narcissism.
Because sitting there hacking on the same mob for hours on end is boring? I hate timers but I still want to kill things as fast as I can.
I hoped to find others interested in engaging on this particular aspect of “what is the point of DPS in a game mode without timers?”
Felfaadaern is good people and I think just doesn’t want this terrible idea implemented into M+ so he is brainstorming on the worst possible outcomes of such a change.
And he’s mostly right. I just enjoy trawling him a bit.
If no timer, why bring a Healer/Tank?
We can just pull one mob at a time.
Well, sure, you can run without DPS, and it’ll just take you two hours to do what should take less than half an hour
