Mages aren't the big DPS caster, mod rods only hit for 275 or so (I'm a monk, IDK the numbers) Starshot does a pretty good amount of damage to Kolevii every raid though, maybe I'm wrong.
I'd be kinda interested to see what some of the best geared rogues parse at, in a plane of hate raid.
Also, kinda sad to say there's a short ending to melee scaling in classic. At 150 or so str w/ a bard in group, or 188 (not really feasible w/o the best gear), you're done as a monk. Sure you could up your dex for a mild increase, but you'd be better going for hp/ac.
Spose rogues have it a little better, or at least different. 188 str is easy for ya'll, from what I hear, and it's just about the weaps.
Neither of us get an upgrade from cloak of flames or bassoon hastes or anything in a raid, if it's anything like live. Sorry to kill whoever's dreams
