At 60 warriors aren't that far behind monks in dps in my experience. Sure you will have some insane parses from 60 monks who innerflame on 30 second fights and get lucky with the Bo Staff of Trorsmang while the warrior is defensive/evasive and in front of the mob, stuff like:
Phisting says, './G Phara Dar in 34s, 27k @800dps --- Fistosaurus 3k @115dps (11%) --- Baxter 3k @82dps (9.62%) --- Flipadelphia 2k @77dps (9.02%) --- Gabobrik 2k @98dps (9.02%) --- Internode 2k @75dps (8.51%) --- Phisting 2k @65dps (8.12%) --- Selkie 2k @72dps (7.12%) --- Biggslick 1k @46dps (5.37%) --- Lonegin 1k @48dps (4.91%) --- Kautin 1k @41dps (3.59%)'
(Fistosaurus and Phisting are monks with the Bo Staff, Baxter/Flip/Gab are rogues, and Biggslick is a tanking warrior while Lonegin is a dpsing alt with VP weapons).
But more typical is something like:
[Mon Feb 11 22:30:16 2013] Peate says, 'The Spiroc Lord in 46s, 32k @686dps --- A soul harvester 12k @276dps (37.6%) --- Azzudnue 6k @141dps (18.76%) --- Kloktor 3k @69dps (10.08%) --- Peate 2k @55dps (7.5%) --- Furiously 2k @49dps (6.45%) --- Sakuragi 2k @50dps (5.89%) --- Gabeker 2k @43dps (5.81%) --- Warboy 2k @38dps (5.29%) --- Xober 1k @16dps (1.98%) --- Kabeker 0k @5dps (0.62%)'
Azz is a rogue, Kloktor/Peate/Furiously are epic monks with the Stave of Shielding, and Sakuragi is a warrior with a Howling Cutlass and Veridix's Shortsword. I'm guessing I didn't disc that time; usually I'm more like 35 dps.
The big reason everyone thinks monks do so much more damage than warriors is at 50 the monk has something like 240 offense/weapon skill compared to the warrior's 200 and is wielding say 15/25+17/28 while the warrior is stuck with 9/20+14/28. Then at 60 their skillcaps are the same, the warrior gets triple attack, and both get their epics and suddenly the monk with 9/16+17/28 isn't crushing the warrior with 14/24+14/24 nearly as badly.
The exception to all this is the Wu's Fist of Mastery, that thing is just sick.
