What class, build and setup does the most DPS in PVE now since the Nerfhold patch?

I'm just wondering if there is a class now (and build and setup - ie armor/skills) that stands out as having the BIS or much higher DPS than other classes in PVE or has Nerfhold neutered every class to essentially having the same range of DPS output as each other?
Obviously those without access to BIS trial gear and ability to lightweave and have perfect rotations will have lesser DPS than those who can so I guess I'm asking at the base level which, if any, class now has the best DPS output.

✭✭✭✭✭They’re all closer than they were before, but Stamina Necromancer appears to be a few thousand ahead of the others still, with a max around 93k. Most classes are in the 87-91k range. The ones I would avoid right now are Magicka Templar, Stamina Warden, and no-pet Magicka Sorcerer, which all struggle to hit 85k.Edited by WrathOfInnos on October 23, 2019 11:51PM2 -

Grandma✭✭✭✭✭stamsorc is really fun and easy; if you double bar the pet [which costs 0 resource to use except magicka to burst heal yourself if you need it] and the new bound armaments , that leaves you 6 slots. 1 for critical surge, 1 for trap, that's 4 dps skills. 1 is wrecking blow, your spam that's nice and easy to weave. 1 is executioner, which you only need in execute (around 32% iirc is when it becomes more cost-damage affective than WB). 1 skill is endless hail, with your vma bow, and then 1 is boundless storm, which times with it perfectly.
2 dots, 1 proc [reapply every 40 seconds, proc at 4 stacks], 1 spam, 1 execute to replace spam. super ez brainless mode, hits around 90k on the best of the best players. probably an easy 70-75k for most players.
magblade is super fun this patch imo. not as simple but still fun. you have your 3 reapplies- 40 second merciless resolve, channeled acceleration, and siphoning attacks. you have two aoes- elemental blockade/unstable [your preference], twisting path. then you have a single target dot, consuming trap for sustain or crippling for pure dps. then you just spam, you keep inner light on your front bar and shield [or flex] on your back bar, and then you just proc bow when you get it. when you get to 25% you start impaling execute. how to do execute:
reapply merciless just before execute, then don't reapply it until the target is dead [so you only get so many procs out of it]. keep up blockade and twisting path, then spam impale until bow proc and reapply siphoning and the two aoe dots. when resolve runs out, just keep up the 2 aoes and spam execute. I forget when its okay to reapply minor force- probably before 15% is fine but idk if it's worth the time unless you're parsing with trap then it doesn't matter.GH / 3/04/2021 / Elemental Catalyst Necromancer2
