The Tank DPS Thread

[Stormx]

The results are in! Nothing surprising though.

Every parse was done with the same exact gear. Full Darklight + Fending accessories or, full Darklight + maim/strike accessories.

Heres the fun part.

Final analysis: +1 Means A LOT, drastic dps difference. Consider that when looking at the above results. A +1 Curtana vs a NO +1 Bravura hardly makes it a fair test, but it is all I had to work with. In my previous testing, I have seen anywhere between 30 to 50% DPS differences between the two classes with the same gear. War does MOAR dmg in any given scenario. DPS gear, sword oath vs defiance, aoe, any situation the results will be the same, WAR will win, there isn't much of an argument.

With that said, MRD is more than viable of performing up to level of main spec DPS classes. If any WARS out there have gotten lucky off of Twin yet, hit me up. I would love to get parses from you.
