Which Title will Let Others Know I'm a Decent DPS?

At CP 470 magplar, I've managed to squeeze out minimum, sustained 24k+ DPS on the skeleton. I've also come to realize that CP 600+ means nothing and I apparently out DPS the vast majority of CP 600+ who queue as dps'ers along with me in a dungeon.

My question is - what indicators will let you know that someone is a decent DPS? It's not CP. Could it be titles? Which title will make you go "Ok, this guy isn't a bow spammer", or "Ok, this guy knows his rotations"?

Since I use the group finder exclusively, I've never done trials or DSA...

Is there a title for a certain DPS level on the skeleton? I don't think so ...!

    Flawless Conquer is a pretty good indication of someone that knows their stuff. Stormproof too to a lesser extent.

    Honestly actions speak louder than words, so just dps, avoid red and do your job well.

    Not really. The closest I can get to is Divayth Fyr's Coadjutor, but you're way too far off for that. The Flawless Conquerer perhaps, but at your level it's not going to be pretty. I guess you can settle for Stormproof, but no one takes that seriously any more. Perhaps any of the Craglorn trials titles (Mageslayer, Shehai Shatterer, Ophidian Overlord), but there's something about it I don't like that I can't put my finger on.

    This is hard, because at 24k dps you're really nothing special, and getting any of those titles I've listed is going to require you to actually start doing trials, if I assume you haven't already.

    Oh, I got it! The perfect title!

    What if I'm paired with a CP 600+ DD, but who does terrible DPS (<12k)? Then the group thinks "Damage is low. It must be the CP470. Kick!"

    Need a way for them to know it's not me...!

    Even on the internet, clear communication is important; it can be the difference between "helping your Uncle Jack off a horse" and "helping your uncle jack off a horse"; the difference between "knowing your s***" and "knowing you're s***".

    Post your parses, check Combat Metrics for the % of boss's health you dealt.

    Unless you're on console, in which case, you're bummed.

    There are no titles that assure you that the said player is any good...I know some players who have Stormproof and Flawless, whose partners or spouses have done vMA for them...and I've actually seen a Former Empress die 5 times in a row to a Public Dungeon boss...

    Most of the competent players that I know don't even use titles...

    I run Paragon so people can see the massive size of my epeen that I am good at killing things without dying.

    Also I like the way it sounds.

    Change your character name to decent dps, I am a better dps then you, fantastic dps. Any of those names should let them know that they suck and you are the cat's meow. :*

    If your group mates kick you because you're "only" 470 CP, chances are you do more dps than them. Titles can be bought (you mentioned being console? PS4 has screenshare and others can flawless your toon). Skins mean little (y'all remember when scaling the hist dungeons to v1 or even 45 was a thing?), so the only real indicator of talent is showing off.

    Smack those dungeon mobs around. If you don't die and the enemies die quick, no one will worry about it. The dps pulling 10k in vet dungeon will be easy to spot, he'll spend half the fight on the floor. :)

    Nothing really. You can be carried through any content besides maelstrom. Best bet is to take advantage of event. Get CP up.
