I have played on this server for years and have never seen a gear check outside of raid requirement gear, which isn't DPS related. If it mattered, a lot of people wouldn't be getting groups at all due to gear.

I have been in plenty of groups (including Velks) with bad DPS and we did fine. Most people on P99 are not Min/Maxing EXP groups precisely because DPS doesn't matter that much. Honestly most mobs in this game have pretty low HP.



You seem to think Enchanters don't solo. Enchanters do not NEED the Malo line of spells for the most part to successfully charm. Enchanters can also give -MR gear to their pets. If an Enchanter wants a duo partner, they are going to pick other classes over a Mage, such as a Cleric. For the majority of encounters it really isn't necessary, and again Mages do not have a monopoly on resist debuffs. It isn't like every group is clamoring for a Shaman/Mage specifically because of Malo. In some cases it is required, but not for the majority of encounters.

Just because most people aren't ridiculously anal people who are going to do gear checks before letting you into a group doesn't mean that DPS doesn't matter.
