    What should be my DPS as a DRK?

    Hey all I'm aprox hitting 800 DPS on my DRK during things like A1S. Is this good for DRK to be hitting? If no and your getting higher numbers what is your set up?

    I'm iLV191
    WPN: 200
    Head: 190
    Body: 200
    Glove: 190
    Waist: 190
    Legs: 200
    Feet: 190

    Acs all are 2x190, 2x180 slaying amd 1 190 Fending Ring. When I start off I pop a STR potion, Scrouge, BW, then do my SE+ DA combo with of course CaS, Plunge and SE each between each combo.

    You're doing fine. I'm assuming you are talking about faust. I'm doing a little over 1k at about the same ilvl but i have some pentamelded slaying pieces. Just make sure you have around 16k hp for the mitigated tank buster + proceeding and following attacks comfortably and to give your healer a little bit of leeway with the preys during oppressor.

    Are your healers DPSing as well? My group got annoyed with me when I swapped some fending accessories for slaying the other day.

    I might be wrong cause I'm not home atm but I feel like the i200 pants are a dps loss compared to the i190 pants, i chose to opt for the i200 gloves and i200 slaying neck.

    I can post numbers when I get home

    800 on Faust, or a clear for AS1? If actual Opp fight on a clear, 800 is very good for a Drk.

    Look at the leaderboard that's been posted.


    If Faust, I have no idea.

    Yes they are indeed. As for the swapping out some Fending gear for slaying I'd say if you got 16K HP already why have more HP? Might as well put it in STR with slaying. I'm presuming you main WAR? If anything you Having more STR on a WAR is better then over stacking on VIT.

    Lol that might have been a old force of habbit of mine I really should break out of, I normally go for chest and legs 1st then other items later but yeah next item I'm going to get I'm gonna look more at the stats.

    A1S isn't a particularly good measure of DPS.
    - Is your group killing it fast enough to avoid a jump? (0 dmg for whatever time drops it hugely)
    - Are you MT or OT before the split?
    - Are you counting Faust or not?
    - Are your healers letting you drop out of tank stance? .. How often?
    All of these things change the number considerably.

    If you want a good measure, try a dummy or just Faust. Even A2S is a little better because there's really no downtime.
