Hey guys, I'm about to start a warrior or monk and I had a few questions, mostly about damage for each class. I understand that warrior is very gear dependent but for posterity sake I need to know some info.
Why doesn't warrior damage ever catch up to a monk's at 60, in Kunark, or Velious?
I know warriors get triple attack at 60 which should be a huge boost in damage, so how come warriors doesn't eventually out do monks?
Also, how much damage do warriors do currently at end game (when well geared) compared to other classes?
Appreciate the info, thanks again.

Warriors are far inferior to monks in damage for two reasons: (1) people build warriors as tanks, not DPS, 99% of the time; (2) monks have a special attack which increases their DPS an enormous amount, making them easily outclass any other melee class other than rogues (who have a better special attack).
To do decent DPS as a warrior you have to be berserking, which isn't really an option if you're tanking. I've never seen a DPS parse with berserk warriors because I don't see berserk warriors in raids very often at all, but their DPS may well be decent. Someone else will have to weigh in.
