  1. People that need to be solo-carried by such builds won't complain about you playing them (because they likely run weird builds too). Its the people that do not need to get carried that complain. You can carry people with full glass dps builds, there is no need to go defensive in fractals anyways.
  2. Hmm seems odd to me, I've run several times with firebrand/rev or even engi healers and that without issues. The only case where I'd call out or kick someone for playing such a build, is if the role is already covered by other group members.
  3. I absolutely believe you, that you can solo fractal bosses on your Scourge - it currently is the easiest profession to solo bosses with. Now see my point of view:The thing comes down to fun, flow and that feeling of progression.I play this game since its release. That means five years of fractals. Oh right, I agree there was some downtime - lets say three and a half years of fractals.That is multiple THOUSANDS of fractals that I have played through in my GW2 Journey so far.During that time I have carried all kind of crazy people. And I even got carried by others on bad days - such is life. I have all the skins I want, and overall I have no real goals in this game anymore. Yes that's right - I don't farm fractals for gold - I do it because it is fun to me.At a point in all that time, I discovered that I have a lot of fun in optimizing my gameplay: Getting better at my rotations, using as few dodges as possible, tryharding as much as I can. Without DPS meters I would have left this game by now.Really, they allow me to observe my performance and provide me with the feeling of "progression", - even when no meaningful progression was made.A number on a screen.That feeling of "success" after you defeated a boss - that you killed 1000 times in before. All this works because of that state of flow, that I can get into, when everything aligns.Somehow it is easier to get into this "flow", when I have a team that tries as hard as it can - and I get bigger numbers, you know. And you know the best part of it?This is only possible because of four other likeminded people that want to be as efficient, as they can.It does not need to be the performance of a static. That is too much to ask for.But if I have 100% Quickness, 25might, good Alacrity and whatsoever, I can compare myself to my own numbers. So if I feel like it, I can put up an lfg with "99+100CM +T4, 200+kp, 1 druid 1 chrono 1 BS 1 exp DPS, f&p", and wait for 15 minutes for my lfg to fill.If I do get the right people - great! I can tryhard and see how much fun I have in doing so.If I do not feel like it, I might decide to join a random yolocomp, that is stuck at a boss and carry their asses to victory. Using a build that allows me to do so. I join two kind of teams in LFG: - a) the toxic elitist ones - and b) the ones that are stuck @Boss. I have had the chance to solo the last 30% of Arkk CM inb4, and it was one of the most entertaining things that I have done in this game so far.And guess what - it was for the 2nd kind (b). They were stuck @Boss in LFG for two hours, with the weirdest teamcomp I could imagine. I do not join a random pug to see what kind of a pug it is. I choose my pugs. And so do others.
