Is that abomination supposed to be a "greater than or equal to" sign? If so, do you really think Monks and Warriors have comparable dps?

Monks have high-damage kicks, but Warriors have Crits. Both have Double Attack and Dual Wield. I'd say it's pretty close.

It's more like, Monks have higher damage but the gap isn't really THAT large and you are going to see some warriors who are doing more damage at certain levels of progression.

Modern mathematics for you mate: superiorly different to the equal. Probably too much use of it that brought the exchange stock market where it is today [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That's more attributed to people buying stocks on credit and running up debt, painting the tape (advertising stocks to be more valuable/profitable than they actually are), and the knowledge that human beings panic and act recklessly when something goes wrong.

Bard dps is not greater than US debt.

Yes a warrior probably won't beat a monk DPS wise on average, but they can during some fights. At level 60.

Also in addition to crits (and crips if you're intentionally zerking) level 60 warriors have triple attack. Monks do not have triple attack. That's why monk weapons have better ratios than warrior ones. A warrior with a staff of battle will do more dps than a monk with a staff of battle.

If you factor in Bard haste and such, bards added dps to the group could be quite high. However, bard's do not get overhaste until Velious so right now the benefit is almost nil if there is a chanter/shaman

I thought Monks got triple attack at 60, also their attacks used the same damage table as a 60 warrior at 55, then a better damage table of their own at 60.
