What's the deal with mages?

According to https://wiki.project1999.com/Tranquil_Staff a 60 Monk with tripple attack and T-Staff is getting 130 DPS. It is possible you simply missed a lot of the Monk's messages due to being out of range. In raid parses I have seen Monks near 100 DPS, and that is on a Mob with much higher level/AC than a blue mob you find in Seb.

I actually have a level 60 monk with TStaff. Do you? I have parsed it with 100% haste and max str. I know what they are capable of. It’s very solid dps but not as high as my mage + pet and certainly not 130 sustained dps on any content that yields xp … including KC trash.

TStaff monk at 60 will beat out the water pet by itself. So will my 60 warrior with 42/43 Frostreaver. My 60 paladin will hang out in about the same dps range as the pet by itself with NToV Greatspear of Dawn. But when you add in the magician nukes (even ignoring the DS), the mage wins consistently every time over the course of a session.

Sorry. Your source is wrong.

If I’m close enough to log my pets melee dps, I’m close enough to log and parse any melee dps.
