Every class can dps. Few can heal and fewer can give alacrity or quickness.Those boons and stacking modifiers are the reasons why top players can do 10 times the damage of a casual. Maybe some players dont understand why squad leaders are searching for firebrands, an alac ren or chronos. Yea, and new players care about top players or the overused casual term, these classes are helpful but not necessary if are learning. Anyways, keeping your minds in meta gaming of some few players is very healthy for the game, good Job!
