Fun before 1.7 - Guess the DPS rankings! {PVE}

[Redcruxs]

Step right up! Step right up! taking bets on the new pecking order!

currently in 1.6:

<----clerics-----rogues-----warriors------------mages---->

clerics were buffed by a few hundred dps
rogues were buffed by a few hundred dps? (not quite sure on this one)
warriors were buffed a bit also (again not quite sure on this one)
mages got a few hundred dps nerf

my best guess at 1.7 dps ranking:

<----clerics---warriors/mages--rogues---->

i think overall the spread will be a lot closer than before

just a note: i'm talking HK gear but not necessarily BiS, single target damage, no inflated sicaron parses. think like on a fight like inquisitor

[Hunt55511]

<---Warriors/Clerics--------Mages----Rogues--->

Is my guess.

...Sigh.

inquisitor? Rogue won't beat **** there, does not deal with short duration target swaps well at all.
now murdantix, maybe.

We're talking pure ST damage, for example what you would do on a dummy.

[DiabolicWeapon]

It will be mages/rogues at the top then clerics/warriors at the bottom.

he said fight like inquis which has target swap
murdantix is close to dummy numbers though, only a second of disconnect every knockback

[Kaybriar]

If I had to guess, it will be wars > clerics > mages => rogues at top gear levels for ST.

Though cleric's dps is higher, it still is lower than mages or rogues by 200 dps? Many find that clerics's shaman dps isn't feasible at all (maybe on Sicaron). Brutalise stacks require to be up or you lose 300-400 dps.

[batou079]

Mage, clerics, rogues, warriors.

is my guess. with rogues and warriors coming VERY close for 3rd.

You need to keep in mind, the following are happening in 1.7 as of last PTS notes:
Mages are getting a decent nerf.
Rogues are getting a hefty buff.
Clerics are getting a hefty buff.
Warriors are receiving a 10-12% DPS nerf.

mages get nerfed
rogues get bug fixed
clerics get buffed
warriors get bug fixed

ftfy

[Redcruxs]

i can't imagine warriors being below clerics, but maybe I'm considering fights with AoE+single target damage...

Link to said buffs for rogues? All I see for pure ST is a fix to Expose Weakness that is good for a little bit of DPS in the one build we run with it.

The EW fix is an enormous DPS buff for rogues, don't underestimate it.
