It amazes me how people still misread that thread and what I said. It was indeed peak forumquest.

The funny part is the entire misunderstanding about Mage DPS stemmed from Troxx prodiving bad DPS data, showing a Mage doing 80 DPS in a group.

A Shaman can also output at least 80 DPS, as Troxx finally parsed at the end of the thread.

The entire thread spiraled out of control because Troxx didn't know how to use his parser. But it did go full circle, as Troxx finally parsed his Shaman's DPS. He showed his Shaman out DPSing his original incorrect Mage parse lol.

Not that’s it’s a rabbit hole worth exploring, but I’ve done 65 dps with a max level focused 60 water pet with two deadwood staves on Miragul. That same fight an 60 monk with a tranquil staff did 58dps. Nukes weren’t landing well but the DS was on the tank.

If you average the time to cast Paralyzing Earth then click the epic (2.5+9) snd the dot duration (90) it’s only 14 dps. Unless you have built a dot rot duo or trio stuff won’t last long enough for a dot to go full duration. It’s a good epic for solo kills and low dps duos but grouped up with a single melee and using a dog pet on geonids it’s a coin flip if the last big dot tick will land.

I wouldn’t let them bug you DSM. I got what you were saying [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. Free dps and multiple mob dotting works in some situations. I think a dot rot duo or trio would be fun. Shaman, bard, druid.

Indeed[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I agree with you that melee DPS has a leg up due to resists being a factor for spells. And you are correct that short kills don't play nice with splurt spells like Epic. It is also quite cool your water pet out DPS'ed a Monk!

A DoT group would be interesting. Might as well try out different group tactics on a server that has been going for so long. That is one way to keep things interesting.
