That's an aggressively careless interpretation of Troxx's claims. Let me remind you:

Troxx's claim isn't 80 dps; his claims are that he did about 172% of the dps of the well geared sk (about 165% of the dps of the Tunare wielding monk), and that he eyeballed the average (each single fight gives him the real dps number; only the combined fights degrade to relative dps) to be about 90-110 dps.

We can do a sanity check on these relative values by assuming the real dps of one of the characters and calculating what that would imply the real dps of the others to be. If we assume 90 dps for Troxx it puts the sk at 52 dps and the monk at 55. If we assume 110 dps for Troxx it puts the sk at 64 dps the monk at 67. If we assume 60 melee dps for the sk (plausible to me based on parses I've done in seb), it would put Troxx at ~103 dps.

It's not a careless interpretation at all. His data shows 80 DPS. He says it is undervalued by 30%, but there is no proof of that. I don't have the data his parser is using to get those values, so he could be wrong. He also hasn't provided his mana usage data, so his personal DPS via nukes could be lower.

His 72-175 DPS claim (which wasn't the screenshot he posted) means very little, because we don't know how he hit 175 DPS. My Shaman can easily hit 175 DPS too, but it wouldn't be sustainable. I doubt his 175 DPS is from anything other than an unsustainable Nuke chain. But if he provides logs, I could easily be proven wrong.

I posted the exact logs of my fight, so you can calculate it yourself if you don't believe it.

Anybody with a 60 Mage can hop on the game and do this:

Fight a single mob with pet only. Fight a single mob with pet and nukes. Report mana and spell usage. Report what mob you fought. All you need to do is divide max HP by how many seconds it took to kill the mob. For example, when I was duoing with a Rogue in Sebilis, he could kill a Froglok Dar Knight in 45 seconds. That mob has 6000 HP, so 6000/45 = 133 DPS.

Post the logs in a similar manner to how I posted mine, and we can get a Mage's average DPS. It's really not hard, but no one is willing to do it.
