Raid geared monks can parse 90+ DPS on raid targets. Raid geared rogues can parse over 100 DPS on raid targets. These numbers are going to be higher on blues. Your Monk parse in Sebilis is simply wrong.

Look man, the cool thing about data is that it is just that … data. It happened. You can argue with numbers all you want, but it happened.
As pointed out repeatedly, that was a compilation of fights and the one area gamparse struggles with. The monk was quite a lot higher than 48 dps. The important take away was that this tunare fisted with 15/20 monk was only 20% higher dps than the water pet. For this particular camp the monk geared thusly was 40% lower dps than the mage and pet together before factoring in DS. Remember that crypt cycles take 7-10 fewer minutes to clear than repops happen. This camp undeniably favored the mage due to the automatic built in Med breaks. Had we been in a theoretical scenario where pulls and fighting never stopped it would have been much much (much) closer. You’ve run the math on this. Without non combat time to catch up on mana the mage will eventually have to drop to actual sustained dps. Conjuration spec nuke at 3.33 mana to damage efficiency this works out to 16.65 spell dps as the max theoretical with c2 but probably closer to 13 dps factoring in med tick misses, resists, and mana needed to rehaste pet and update DD. That’s less than burnt wood staff clicky.
Under that theoretical situation where there is no between fight downtime, the monk would have been either slightly ahead or about dead even factoring in everything.
This is why I will continue to assert that yes, mages are a top tier dps class. If a garbage geared mage with an unfocused pet can keep up with a velious raid geared monk under cherry picked situations that play to the mages weaknesses, that’s stellar.

You can post logs of your monk and your mage if you are so confident. It is strange you are so relucant to post something that is easy for you to acquire.

Probably because my last reply was from bed and I’m now at work. I’ll be home in 10 hours and can put up some monk parses.
My TStaff monk fully group buffed (ench haste and sham str stack to 255 but nothing fancy like avatar or Ranger buffs) will reliably put out 90-110 dps on lower level xp trash. This is better than the mage pet by itself but below the mage’s sustained dps and less than half what my mage can burn when stuff needs to die quickly in an emergency. Scars of Sigil in first gem slot with a GCD clicky is a 450 point nuke every 2-2.1 seconds. That’s a lot of burn potential.
In higher group areas still consistently over 80 on the low end. 29/30 2hb with a dd proc is really comparable to velious raid 1handers for a monk and not surpassed until you compare it to raid monk 2handers. 2 handers are really just the way to go after the dmg bonus changes.
