I can beat most rogues on parse by popping Precision disc, 100% haste with Silver Whip of Rage / Dagarn's Tail combo. No primal.

If I were zerking I would beat everyone except enc charm pet.

Except most fights, I can't do this, gotta keep defensive available for a tank switch.

60 warrior.

funniest thing ive read all... Ever

You asked for raid stuff, but here's a response based on general groups I've experienced while leveling (I don't have a 60).

Similar to the raid responses I reckon.

Charming Enchanters in first.
Rogues and twinked monks behind that.
Good Mages, and then
Melee twinks.

That's basically why I didn't mention them.

Wizard is my second favorite class I reckon, maybe most favorite.

But I haven't see many leveling.

Beastlord, pet + meek melee damage.
+ DPS buffs on 2 rogues

Interesting to see some people dismiss Rangers, and others rep them.

It really depends on how long the fight is.

BFG + Trueshot + Good arrows should get you near the top on some fights that don't last long.

Lots of talking in this thread. The answer to your question - Rogue. They top every single fight in the game, period. Charmed pets are extremely situational and very dangerous / annoying. Enchanters can out damage Rogues on AoW, sure...if they're not dead. And what happens if they die? Their pet starts attacking Clerics. Super useful.

Rogue is the answer.

The actual answer is who cares? Everyone is massively over geared. If you care about parses go play wow or something.

Rangers can be very high on parses where the can stand outside debilitating AOEs or there is wonky hitbox stuff/unstable mob positioning going on as well. I've seen a ranger parse at 6.8k damage in a sky queen bee fight where the next three were all rogues at 1.8 to 1.6k respectively. We had an early death touch and a bad pickup post DT, which resulted in a lot of movement and difficult to follow positioning as she buzzed around and killed her way through eight to ten people before the cheal chain stabilized on a tank that could handle her. All that movement combined with her floaty hit box messed with melee dps considerably, but was completely irrelevant to arrows.

You can also stand outside of dragon breath weapons and AOE fear with a ranger as long as you've got and exquisite velium bow or better. Depending on what that dragon is, that can matter a ton for DPS purposes.
