ok i was told that this program would help me figure out my dps.. and it gave me a result i jsut dont quite get it lol but apparantly i am doin 52.6 dmg per second.. which seems kinda sad...this was taken froma log when i was 61st so maybe i got better when i dinged :P ... and is that maximum critical correct..? did i hit for 1137 dmg and miss it??

[unoshato]

after today in kael then fungus grove then seb and a dragon to cap it off here are todays results..once again question remains... is that actually good..?? or crappy.?

It depends what weapons you were using when you parsed your damage. I average about 54 dps with dual wield and 68 dps with 2hs. However, the damage parsers don't reflect weapon procs, so it's hard to pinpoint your exact dps. Since all your weapons have procs if I recall, you'd have to play with the numbers a bit.

As far as being good or not, I wouldn't be worried unless your dps drops below 50. If it does, you'll know that you've been nerfed again.

[unoshato]

axe none of my weapons proc..

i have a velium spiked mace but it only procs about one every 3 fights for me and that is with shaman dex buffs..

so i banked it in favor of

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=16475

for primary

and

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=10204

for secondary

neither of which proc but are the hardest hitting things i have for duel weild.


i'll have to get back with ya on the 2hb the delay on it is sooo slow (40) though that i hit once a millenia with the the so i am sure it cant be very good.....(edit) ok i take that back..i was using my 2hb on trak and by looking at that 30 seconds of life..

[Superfly]

My bad. I know little about monk weapons, except that they don't weigh anything.

The high delay thing usually gets balanced out by the higher damage. It all depends how much you miss I suppose. My 2hs has a delay of 44 I think, but I still manage to get 11 more dps than dual wielding.

Why am I awake. For that matter, why are you awake? And why can't bazaar not crash for just one night?

[unoshato]

ok dig this lol i used my 2hb on trak..

=) so here are those results..

[Lohagen Elamadri]

it's been a while since i've delved into dps data, but here's a great little logging that i found on rangers glade once, just to give a comparitive view of 'damage classes'

[please note, these were done by Locz, 'the ranger mathematician of the glade', champion!]
------------------------------------------------------------

I decided to post several high quality parses from fights since this has become such a contentious subject on this board and others. These parses are from various encounters within my guild over the past few months. I post a parse on my guildboards every month or so, and these are taken from there.

What's a high quality parse?
1) No MOB movement
2) all melees clustered close to me so I don't miss any action in my /log file.
3) Some of my parses were independently confirmed from a second player (a 65 BL). Results of my parse and his were identical. Some of the parses I had spell damage from players other than me reported to me afterwards, and I added this in.

My weapons? At the time of these parses I had a 12/18 main (after swapping a primal) and a 14/18 offhand. My AA's = about 130. Ambidex / CF3 / FoTA3 / Ferocity3 / GoTF3 / SCF3 / spell haste4 ring / have all my spells.

The players in these parses are in my guild. We all obtained our weapons and our gear together in raids, so while the weapons used here in these parses represent a huge variety, for the nearly all the gear had about the same difficulty of attainment. My guild raids NTOV / AoW / all SoL bosses (except emporer) / many PoP Tier2 / 3 bosses / but pre-VT. So you know our gear level.

Now you may say my 12/18 main + 14/18 offhand weapons suck, and well, at the time of these parses we had exactly ZERO good ranger weapons enter our guild in over 2 years of moderately heavy raiding. (I recently got a Tendonslicer, 15/20 piercer, and another ranger in our guild also just got a 14/18 mainhand weapon...but neither of these have been parsed in yet).

Many of our monks are relatively new guildmembers, so they still have weapons inferior to the longer term guildmates (good monk weapons seem to drop as rarely as good ranger weapons). You may notice this.

by the way, I do agree with Deirdre (Talyandrei) that monks should get buffed up in dps, at least at our level of play.

I don't see rangers as overpowered whatsoever compared to other classes. You will notice this in these parses.

Oh yea, I nuke at every opportunity once I feel that our main tank has secured strong aggro. Since our main tanks are good and hold aggro quite well, and I know what I am doing, I can do this without stealing aggro.

Thunderclap parsing!

I had to turn off attack several times, and jolt a few times too mid fight, because I got aggro.

My total damage was 3.6% kick, 20.2% nukes, 34.6% offhand, 41.6% mainhand.

Averaging four non-defensive 65 warriors, I get a warrior mean average dps = 80.4. I will normalize this to "1.0"

Endride Icestorm, again. This is a poor quality parse due to some MOB movement. Some people were out of range

The interesting thing about parsing is you see exactly who didn't listen to instructions to assist.

Endride Icestorm fight.

I did 19411 total damage (102.2 dps). My damage is broken down as follows:
kick 2.8 %
main hand 40.7%..(13/20 primal, swapped to a 12/18 weapon for about 75% of the fight)
off hand 36.1%..(14/18 )
non-melee 20.3%..(procs + nukes)

Two 65 warriors without defensive did 70.3 and 70.2 dps. I will normalize that as "1.00" for the following list:

The melee only dps ratios, compared to a "65 warrior" become:
Locz...................1.16
Locz(with spells+procs)..1.45
65 SK................0.45 (on the phone)
63 war...............0.79
65 rng...........0.65
65 mnk.................1.29

Obviously dps will change depending on which mob you're fighitng, but maybe this gives osme insight, at least to where you stand relative to other melee.
