DRK DPS?

[Delorean]

Let's face it, most of the ex-DPS DRKs are probably gone right now. Most of the genuine concern I've seen is coming from career tanks who switched over. In fact, a lot of the people saying DRK is fine, I've noticed, comes from the same ex-DPS who don't really understand what it means to be a viable tank in higher end content.

it comes from people who have been slaying internet dragons long enough to know that there are bigger problems in your raid if you are going to blame your lack of success or increased difficulty (to the point that you will not even invite player of said class to a group) on a class that developers designed to be viable to play in their game content

ppl gave me shit about being a WAR in 2.0 but it was like WHERE IS YOUR PLD GOD NOW when im soloing the last 15% of Ifrit and eating mountain busters like a champ

never gave a fuck and main tanked all of first coil and all that i did of second coil

I did a new 2min35 parse and was at 740 dps stable while derping and not being able to chain two ogcd skills since muh european latency (145 ms ><)

That was with no food, no potions, no party buff, no party mumbers debuffing the dummy

ilv179

I was expecting more since I'm doing 700 dps more or less stable in some trials already o_O

You are only critting for 2.5k with full STR gear, a STR potion, a ilvl 190 weapon and a ninja debuff on Ravana EX in his vulnerable phase? Sorry I don't buy that.

Learn2read? I don't have a 190 weapon, no ninja debuffs, not doing ravana ex nor using str potions lol. I was just referencing my average day to day crits while doing random dungeons bra

And without all those conditions, Fel Cleave still hits harder than 2.5k lol. Especially since you have Maim + Storm's Path =)

I just recorded a 2645 Soul Eater crit on dummy lv50. (400 Potency)
I need to see how high can Carve and Spit can go.

The best C&S I've been able to crit on a training dummy with no other player buffs is around 3200. I was wearing all STR accs so my STR was at or close to 850. I have been learning Ravana as MT so I use Fending there, but I just got some nice i150 crafted accs that I'm going to try out in there tonight and see if I can crit something better on the vulnerable stage.

What is weird is that my crit can fluctuate between 5% (which is the minimum value) to 11%, at 500 Crit rating total. It's supposed to be about 8.5% crit chance, but what can you do on such a small sample since after 2min30 we get tp starved >_>

Also, the +% crit damage bonus seems weird. I seem to be getting +37 to +40% damage increase on crits (lowest should be 40%) whereas I'm supposed to expect +45 to +47% increases hum...

So far I managed to get between 731 to 752 stable dps over 2min30. It's definitely lower than before when chaining two empowered ogcd dark arts skills =/
I'm not even using Dark Passenger anymore since the HUUUUUUUUUGE MP cost is reallllly not worth it compared to usual Soul Eater. (+100 compared to +160 potency? For 884 MP? Yeah thanks but no thanks)

Highest Soul Eater crit was 2531 and Carve and Spit was disappoint at 2701 =/

EDIT: I'm at 865 STR, using the ilv180 weapon.

Can't wait to see in Ravana ex with all the +% damage increases tho.

Anyway, it's pretty fun to outdps some machinists and bards in random expert roulettes so I'll settle with that dps for now xD

752 seems a bit low to me with full STR accessories. IRC my WAR was around 750 over 3min with one VIT and four melded ilvl 110 accessories.

TP management needs to be touched either way. 2:30 is way too low.

Not really, DRK's damage potential really isn't particularly high. After 3 minutes, it's probably the lowest of the tanks.
