WAR DPS WiTH 150 PENTA SLAYING GEAR 800DPS

There aren't fights that bottom you out of TP yet.

Worth mentioning that ACT currently doesn't parse DRK correctly so any numbers you see are higher than what they appear to be.

What are parsers not picking up, exactly?

[Ipkonfig]

Scourge, it counts 6 ticks not the full 10, it also doesn't allow Scourge to crit. Also doesn't pick up Salted Earth at all.

Good catch, though ACT seems to be picking up Salted Earth correctly. Adjusting for the missing Scourge tics brings that DRK test up to ~913 DPS. Also, I ran another DRK test and got ~885 DPS after adjustment.

While hardly rigorous, I did 3 quick tests. 35/35 STR; Hive weapon; Gordian head, legs, feet, and ring; Asuran for the rest (all slaying). No food, party, or potion.

PLD: ~830; 7% crit; bottomed out of TP at ~2:40
DRK: ~890; 11% crit; pre-cast Dark Arts; bottomed out of TP at ~2:10; EDIT: Adjusting for missing Scourge tics brings the total to ~913. Ran a second test of ~885 after adjustment.
WAR: ~960; 19% crit; pre-cast Infuriate > Vengeance; limitless TP; ended test at ~4:45

DRK and WAR tests were slightly above average, based on my experience. EDIT: The DRK test, in particular, had 3 out of 9 DA Souleaters crit.

Were they all str spec with the same accessories or no?

All of the fights with the exception of T2 in Alex give enough breathing room for the other tanks to regen TP naturally - phase changes in A1, form changes in A3, and AOE damage/ball pickup and Quarantine in A4.

However, on the same token, it does reinforce how good WAR offtank DPS and longevity is compared to the other two tanks, especially in longer fights where this luxury doesn't exist. On top of that, WAR CDs are short enough to be able to burst when they need to.

This isn't a knock on WAR by any means, just an observation. Hopefully the devs will add something similar to paladin and dark knight in the future to balance the playing field.

The downtime makes WAR even better. 50% of their DPS comes from Zerk+FC burst. If they time their burst correctly the fight downtime will align with their CD refresh. DRK has burst potential but nothing like WARs and PLDs burst is mediocre at best.


Those test are missing slaying debuff for DRK and PLD right?

I was parsing 830-845 on a dummy on PLD but with no slashing debuff.

Yes.

35/35 STR. Asuran neck, ear, wrist, ring of Slaying, and Gordian ring of Slaying.
No food, no potion, no party.

Yes.

Those numbers sound right for PLD.
