Don't agree? How funny. Prove me wrong.

How do sorcs reach 15k single target dps easily? I can get up to 13k single target dps but its not very easy. I assume you're talking about dps on trails bosses etc.

Uhh, no. An "average" sorc is probably putting out anywhere from 7-10k dps.

I think you don't know what the word average means.

I would like to see all the videos of AT LEAST 5 min fights 'sustaining that 15-18k dps' ...by any class really

Concentrating on dps is totally stupid ...it doesn't count your total damage done ...and only this matters

If you will do 30% of total damage done on trial boss in 12-man group then YOU'RE THE BOSS!

Until then stick to your dummy dps meters and keep thinking it's really something

The person with the highest dps at the end of the bossfight obviously has the highest total damage done. I'm not sure how you're claiming that these are two seperate things.

Sure...

You just simply DON'T GET IT

Don't do much whole fight
Execute last 30 seconds

EDIT: Actually in FTC your dps and total damage are coupled. If you take the dps from your meter and multiply it by the amount of seconds tracked, it will result in your total damage done. So there goes your argument.

Have you seen any one here saying ANYTHING about damage done?
NO

They're all excited just about the dps numbers without even going deeper into this.
THAT'S MY POINT

If you're among minority that can actually use brain and cares about actual JOB DONE as damage dealer you should get it already

FTC even shares your total damage done. I'll laugh in the face of the nightblades with those incredible bursts of the last 5 seconds of a boss.

He's trying to say that Dragonknights are an executer class and all they do is wait for the HP to drop below certain number to start executing and boast about their dps. And he's voting the typical burst damage + execute class.

I won't vote. It's the player, not the character.

Are you talking Stamina Sorcs there? A highly optimized magicka sorc will peak at 15k

Yea, an average Sorc is going to be pulling 7-10k depending on the situation. It's very hard to get above 10k or sustain that for a long time (usually you need to have a long boss execute phase to boost the DPS). Spamming overload for an entire fight is not an accurate measure of DPS at all. Also, you need to rely on other group members to do things to boost your numbers up such as keeping ele drain on boss at all times (because max DPS builds have 0 sustain and there is usually not enough room on the skillbar to run it), damage buffing, boss debuffing, and Atro synergy.

Magicka nb barely over 12k dps..... my crippling grazp hits for 11k, funnel hits for 7k, and im not even that geared. This guys crazy.

It's been DK since the game debuted.

Usually by a tremendous amount.

PVE that is, guess is it's mainly due to having the only good dots and being able to focus entirely on fire damage.

24k dps on WGT 1st boss no overload used.
Havent seen DK after IC patch or any1 using the BiS gear that came with IC since crap RNG drop rates

PinoZino · September 2015

It's a myth that there's something 'best'. There's no 'best'.

You know why? Because everybody plays different, is used to a specific setup and likes it. It depends also about the usual mob you're fighting and if you're into PvP or not.

You can calculate the ideal build, which would be great for some people, but not for all.

Noob Guide

Suppose there are 2 builds: fisherman and bear hunter.
When you do the calculations fisherman is the best shot.

Does it mean that we all should take fisherman?

Yes, only when you play like a fisherman. If you still play like a bear hunter, the fisherman isn't the best build for you.

Running valkyn(which is trash), martial, Torugs (only v16 staff), and willpower(all arcane) I am pulling 25k+ on the adjustors as a Dk. Once I get full Bis I'm expecting closet to 30k. Was doing 23k with all v12 and 14 gear.

Pl0x listen as an experienced PvEr

1. Dragonknight
2. Sorc
3. Templar
4. Nightblade

That said sorc can beat a DK is certain situations but DK is more practical

NativeJoe · September 2015

My 2 Cents.
( you may disagree with me because you've reached a certain CP amount that makes these builds shine, or might be sporting a niche build, but this is just an... on the average experience for me)

Burst and burn:
1. nightblade
2. sorc
3. templar
4. dragonknight

Sustained:
1.templar
2. Sorc
3. Dragonknight
4. Nightblade

Ability to survive and actually do damage in a fight:
1.Sorc
2.Templar
3.Dragonknight
4. Nightblade (why must u guys fall to sleep in red circles, get maimed by boss attacks, and dodge roll off ledges into lava?)

Utility and usefulness when the fight gets tough:
1. Sorc
2. Templar
3. Dragonknight
4. nightblade

Best tanks:
1.Dragonknight
2.Nightblade
3.Templar
4. Sorc (against magical based bosses they can often be the best tank choice but the majority of bosses stab you in the face)

Okey.... I'm going to assume the reason that DKs are winning this poll is because everyone that has voted DK don't even play as a DK they are most likly, sorcs or NBs in disguise, desperately hoping DKs get another nerf.

I'm honestly shocked that DKs are ahead for " highest DPS overall" have you lost your minds?

Seriously what the hell, the answer is clearly NB, highest Damage per sec their is no question that the NB dominates all else in pvp.

It's DK then templar. Sorcs are last. But they have perhaps the highest burst and this made PvPers vote "Sorc" on this poll.

Oh man. If deltia is doing it then it's got to be the best. Remember how well that laceration build did with those perfectly setup bars? That 15k bloodspawn he did was soon good.

Pro-tip: Always check the date of the post you're responding to.

At this moment, there's no challenge when we're comparing current numbers to outdated quasi-beta 1.6 patch with 70 CP total and even without Spell Precision passive. It's a different meta-game now and basically 12k on Magicka NB is Funnel Health and staff-weaving alone.

In 2.1.7, we could talk about 25k single-target as a challenging peak.

The amount of Stam Sorcs i see in grinding areas is ridiculous, and then they realise their dps still sucks and deltia has betrayed them lul

Seriously? People are saying DKs are the top DPS in the game? Look like some NBs are trying to get the heat of nerf gun barrel off them and back to DKs.

NBs are not only the top DPS but best class now deal with it. It's you NBs turn with the nerf gun.
