That they do similar damage when the knight has a significantly better weapon illustrates the ranger's superior baseline. Be interesting to parse them with all other factors (buffs, weapons, et cetera) being identical so as to show how much class alone affects it.

I agree. In order make the test as accurate and precise as possible, it would be best to eliminate all the possible variables: level, haste, NPC level variance, spell casting, etc.; except for the Variable that you trying to test for, DPS. Ideally all the Classes would be the same level, same amount of haste, same strength, same weapon, same NPC. The only variable should be the class alone. That way you know for sure what each class is capable of.
