I'm wondering how one can measure improvement, or general shortcomings. I'd hate to put ppl in front of a raid dummy, because I don't think that's a good indicator on their raid performance.

Most of the failures aren't dps issues, generally. But failure to understand boss mechanics. I'd hate to use last tiers bosses as examples, unfortunately thats all I've got experience with atm.

Stackup, then spread out mechanics always seem have one or two members miles away. Chimmy is good example of this. And twin dragons. See so many ppl die to Valiona's breath attack because they'd positioned themselves away from the boss was confusing to me. The dispell point for blackout was her tail, so they'd be within spitting distance of the boss. And ppl standing in the middle of nowhere was a strange for chimmy's feud. Do they not see the rest of us stacking up. Mrrfll.

Another thing thats always is good is to see how ppl died. Bad RNG can kill players of good skill. Some deaths are partly faultless, being 0.5 secs slower then some ppl has gotten me killed before. Using twin dragons again, as a ranged dps we'd move clockwise around theralion whilst stacked up to avoid his fabulous flames. However I was a fraction slow one fabulous flames and a twilight meteor hit me. Sadly only on person was nearby for the damage and one tick from fabulous flames too many did me in.

Most hilarious deaths are mainly the spriests in the raid. Suiciding himself on chimmy was a /facepalm moment. He stated he was meaning to reapply SW:P in the middle of the fight (=S) and used the wrong ability. Which was just as confusing to all involved. Until we noted his Mind Spiking in mid fight... blagh.
