DPS check for turn 8?

As a war, I do believe you can push that damage. As a paladin, uh... show the me the way, master.

I do 230-250 DPS as WAR on the fight while also tanking the robots, it's just much easier to handle for the entire group if I blow up all the mines and the MT isn't trying to pick up the robots. Of course you need DPS who actually know what they are doing in order to 2 tank 4 dps so I suppose that's why most groups 1 tank, easier to place all the burden on the tank and healer while the DPS coast through being awful

Our group had 1917 DPS last kill (including LB2 and LB1) so I am pretty shocked when I see people can't even reach 1300-1400

Hmm,

Yeah I guess intercepting homing missiles, handling brainjack, proc'ing towers, (the designated homing missile person) being stacked at the right time for ballistic, splitting landmines properly without a 2nd tank all while maintaining maximum DPS is "coasting through being awful" and is TONS less than what a solo tank has to deal with in T8.


EHHHHRMAGHERD..... A DREAD?! ZOMG....CDs /doze

I MT as paladin. I have a hard time to reach these numbers. I roughly made it up to 150, but my average is 125/130ish. This is without potions or DPS-oriented food (I use the finger sammiches). As we do the solo tank strat, the extra DPS compensates that. Thankfully all the gear I have is shared with War. I'll try War tonight and check if there's any difference.

The numbers they posted where for OTing without tank stance in STR gear. Your numbers are fine for MTing.

The funny thing is that we don't 2 tank because it puts too much burden on the tanks and healers with our tower order, and like heck are we going to change our tower order after almost 3 months of downing it with a faster strat. With 2 tanks the healers had to heal the mt, OT and dps hitting the towers at the same time, and 2 tanks gives the dps a pass on the mines and gives the burden to the tanks.

We kill it in sub 8 minutes why on earth would we want to start 2 tanking? And on the bad dps comment, we hit 2,200+. Our monk alone has sustained 470+. In any case 5 dps requires at least between 300-350 dps, which is well above average for pugs.
