I easily pull 5k on the test dummy and my wife 6k - using ultimate and going crazy we are both 12 to 15k
Together we have completed most of the normal dungeons - not managed to work out the one with the pirate that locks one of you down - we take our time and enjoy the scenery and read the lore books and chase down the butterflies.

My point? There needs to be room for non-competitive play also.
To pull more than 25k you need to be running best in class armour and weapons; farming the trials and dungeons to obtain "the piece".

For myself - this is a game, an escape from the grind of the real world. I have a full time job, I have a busy family life, when I come on-line I enjoy taking it a little easy.

5k - lol - running darkstrider and hundings on my stam build and law of julianos with shadow dancer on my magblade

Chasing down butterflies and farming will provide a steady income.

Don't farm stuff- BUY it.
Julianos + Willpower (or Hunding + Agility) still provide great DPS.

Julianos and Hunding are craftable (6 traits).
Agility and Willpower are buyable (make sure Willpower is Arcane, and Agility is Robust).

I guarantee every class can pass the 20k DPS mark with those gear combinations.

Most people fail to understand gear has little to do with endgame DPS.

I've had a guildie pull 11k DPS with full Legendary Vicious Ophidian and Twice Fanged Serpent on a stam NB.
No, the gear won't magically do DPS for you.

There was a time damage meters stuff didn'T exist, ah i miss Guild Wars at the time and Star Wars Galaxies, Vanilla WoW when MMOs came out

Before knowing their DPs on skeleton, people should start to learn standing out of red circles, mechanics, to res dead people.... how many times did i see in Trials or Vet Trials show off people going flashing they are actualy doing 30% on the boss or adds while others are resing deads or trying to save a wipe... sometimes DPS is not what matters. My dps is average, I do only 34-35k on magika warden self buffed, on stam sorc only 31-34k self buffed as well, but this darn DPS is so pointless when i'm one of the few resing deads, unpinning people, walking around trying to be helping, DPS doesn't matter at all. First goal of game as the word game brings up is, have fun.

As for PUGS, expect anything to come, specialy with teh crystals being implemented, you can often get PvP players queuing for pledge, which can not necessarly does well in PvE DD, i also did see some DPS with 30ks, wearing Eben, and queued as DPS, maybe in pvP world he does well, but in Pledge well, we were 3 friends, so guess what, we kicked him after a while in vCoS cuz it was nightmare and i was getting tired of pulling 75-80% dmg, but again, was a pug i don't expect always gettings Elites players, and when a DLC pop, i simply leave most of the time, cuz i don'T wanna waste time, exept vCoS which i know like the end of my pocket and can manage to deal with the issue ohers can cause. Bu again, if you want good DPS, one way to get tthis, queue with friends and people you know.

You can practically wear whatever rags of gear you like (granted it comes with the proper armor for its class, like light for magicka and medium for stamina) and get within a few thousand DPS of what you would get with BiS gear.

Mastery of rotation is 99% of dps
