Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't warriors the baseline for melee dps? Maybe things aren't balanced as I remember but if a warrior, sk, pal, monk, rogue, ranger and bard were all wielding the same damage/delay weapons(obviously taking in account pal/sk inability to dw and bard/rogue's inability to wield 2 handers) would the results end up something like this?

1. rogue (dual wield/backstab/double attack)
2. monk (dual wield/double attack/flying kick)
3. war (dual wield/double attack/kick or slam)
4. ranger (dual wield/double attack/kick)
5. pal/sk (double attack)
6. bard (dual wield)

With DOT's I'm pretty sure Bards would be higher, but if you're just talking about melee, this seems accurate... but are rangers really lower than warriors? What if you account for spells and other shit like that?
