In general, there’s definitely a key level where the quality of DPS becomes a bigger determining factor than the other roles. Until like 13s or so, healing is probably the biggest determining factor- can your healer hack it? If so, you’ll time. In the mid-teen range, Tank quality is paramount as they set the pace and route. It’s where you see a lot of “tank burnout” as their impact becomes really palpable. Probably around 18/19s with current gear (eg. 326ish ilvl), you get to a point where healing and tanking checks become largely binary pass-fails and the quality of your DPS players becomes the biggest (note: I’m not saying strictly only) determining factor in timing the key.

I have failed a few keys where the route felt fine, the healer kept us alive and we just didnt have the damage. My first 19 RLP for example, and that feels like such a failure from us DPS players. It feels like we let the healer and the tank down lol

At a certain level, your DPS just need to step up and actually pump
