@Haileaus @One_Rogue @Celestalon We know what happens when DPS competes with survivability, DPS almost always wins.

@Fierydemise @One_Rogue @Celestalon True, but that's also an encounter design problem.

@Haileaus @One_Rogue @Celestalon No it isn't. Specialization is incredibly powerful tool. DPS specialize on DPS, healers heal.

@Fierydemise @Haileaus @Celestalon How about multiple routes to the same goal. Massive dps or some dps and enhanced interrupts for example.

@One_Rogue @Fierydemise @Haileaus @Celestalon Or have more mechanics in which DPS is directly enhanced by successful CC or damage avoidance?

@SvelteKumquat @One_Rogue @Haileaus @Celestalon This happens and in practice we specialize a couple people into those roles.

@SvelteKumquat @One_Rogue @Haileaus @Celestalon Need CC? Alright make a 2-3 person CC team and everyone else is full dps.

@Fierydemise @SvelteKumquat @Haileaus @Celestalon what if you didn't know what the boss was going to throw - if it was variable...
