DPS War - Yes/No

24 hits is a pretty crappy representation of damge done in a group. FAIL

That's kind of the point, I soloed a dark blue mob in CoM in 14 seconds. There would have been more hits... if I was doing less dps. If you were able to follow a simple conversation you would have realized that I was refuting Dravinger's claim that it's impossible to exceed 300 dps. A 50+ warrior with decent gear should be nearing or breaking 300 dps every time they hit Mighty Strike. The fact that Dravinger claims that a 60 rogue /discing duelist only does 200-300 dps just supports that warriors can easily hold their own when it comes to dps.

In any expansion other than Kunark I would agree it would be silly to proclaim yourself a dps war (well, it's still silly. just roll an ogre warrior to tank AND dps). Warriors arguably get the best set of discs, as well as access to all the best kunark weapons (most/all of which get nerfed/removed). There's 2 Kunark weapons that were just way too good: Blade of the Black Dragon Eye (could be substituted with the mace with the same ratio, just no dps proc) and Wurmslayer in the secondary. The latter option is only available to War/Rng. The former only to warriors. Hence, only warriors can wield what's one of the best weapon combos on the server right now.

If we're talking PoP or something, sure. A warrior isn't going to be able to touch a rogue/monk when it comes to dps. But.. this is Kunark, on P99, prior to AAs, epics, and other fancy things that helped rogues/monks out.

what an awful parse posting. I could post a 2 hit parse and show 1k dps

It's a 24 hit parse. I'm sorry that gyrating goos don't have more hp. If you can show 1k dps over a 14 second parse vs. a db mob as a war I'll give you 100k.

Yeah if that was a parse across the course of a single boss fight then that would be believable

Again, you're taking the wrong thing out of my post. Discs don't last the course of a single boss fight. Dravinger said level 60 Rogues hit 200-300 dps with Duelist. I'm showing that as a ~55 warrior I can exceed 300 dps with Mighty Strike. That was the only point. When I compile parses from 4/1 to 4/18 (last time I logged in) I'm at 91 dps. I'd go through the effort of posting a screenshot, but I'm sure people will make up excuses that I cherry picked fights, etc.

Not trying to pick fights, just saying people are underestimating how much DPS a warrior can put out right now. If you have doubts, download Gamparse and do your own studies instead of posting on a forum.

A disc burst means nothing. They're all talking about SUSTAINED DPS, not what you can do once every 30min-1hr.

Try parsing 20-30 fights, and show us the averages. Do another set of 20-30, with discs.



Edit: nobody cares about burst DPS from a class that can't do it at least every couple of minutes. See: Wizards.
