    WHM DPS

    With relic +1 and iLvL 76 gear mashing nothing but Stone II, I do 190-200 DPS over the course of about 2.5-3 minutes(at which point I am flat out of mana). This is supported by my average hit being 460/2.39s (about 192 dps). After tested it using both Aero I and Aero II, I found I actually Averaged about 181 DPS, meaning I lost some for attempting to use my dots. Now understandably if I have to move, the dots would be a better option, but for straight button mashing...

    Also I've been parsing random people for a while for things like, titan HM, Ultima HM, King moggle, regular instances, and I find that sadly, the average player on a DPS class can't even come up with that dps. Hell I went to titan HM as a DPS WHM per-arranged group and did 165 DPS up until after the heart phase, then switched to healer because the other healers died. For some things I would honestly like to try like 2 tanks, 4 WHM, 2 BRD with rotations on mana song for fun.

    That would be an interesting setup. Do you know if Medica II and Regen can Quad stack? I think M2 would eliminate the need to heal at all for 30s spans. 2 Whm and 2 Sch might be best for damage and heals. Sounds fun.

    Relic +1 means you are the best at the game and can pull top dps without pushing a button because you have a relic +1. At least that's the mentality of this game....

    Using Aero spells shouldn't be a loss in DPS, but they are very similar to Stone II. Remember parsers are still very much using guesswork when it comes to DoT damage:
    Aero: 200 potency
    Aero II: 210 potency
    Stone II: 170 potency

    They could do with a boost though, if only just on Aero II's duration.

    I love WP Speed Runs for dps. I always offend the dps classes because I usually am top dps because of holy with all the adds.

    Whm's can do pretty decent dmg but we're just not very mana efficient at it.
