It will be spikey as hell due to the delay too.

Its funny though, Snails beats me on DPS sometimes if I'm really unlucky with backstabs and he gets a lucky streak with Avatar+Tunare sword. Doesn't happen that often but its kind of a funny WTF moment when the Pally starts pulling 90 DPS for a bit cause all the hits land. As a dual wielding Rogue, if I roll 10 misses in a row I stop doing damage for like 4 seconds and recoup it with a lucky backstab roll or a lucky streak of hits. A pally swinging one of these that hits the same unlucky patch does 0 damage for like 15 seconds.

I was kind of curious so I went poking through my last sky raid logs, and he was doing between 20 and 97 dps. There were two kills where both of us were on it for the whole time and he beat me out.

From the parses I was looking at I think the average comes out closer to ~65-70 than the ~35-40 number Pint suggested.

40 DPS on a knight was pretty average back during Kunark. I expect it ought to average higher now with the various class and mechanic revamps we've had since then. Could be that's a worst case scenario against a particularly high-AC target?

Pint is very much accurate from the tank side. The hybrids tank lower-end raids perfectly well--which has major ramifications on "recycle" servers (they're the best tanks pre-expansion)--but they aren't well-suited to the needs of Velious end-game. Even if you can make them work for Velious boss tanking, there's little reason to do so except to say you did. Fair's fair, let warriors have their moment of joy.
