Which melee dps has highest dps

[l---------------l]

Master melee here.

I can tell you which require more skills in my opinion and, at least with me, which deal more damage.

My monk is the one that deals more damage of my melee, but, of course, It's the one that has its BiS completed after all.... NIN and DRG come afterwards and are kind of the same DPS each other.
So, if they would be equally geared, I think my melees would be like ;> MNK > DRG > NIN (Very very close to DRG).

To be honest, though, I rarely see NIN doing high decent DPS... Mine must be an extraordinary case, already less gear than our raid NIN and much more DEEPS, so at the end, it's up to how you use it. Also, take in mind that. MNK can deal more DPS if there's another MNK in the group doing dragon kick (Not likely, nobody likes to be dragon kick doggy). It's the same with NIN, only that, they can also have it with just having a wAR in party, decent WAR HAVE to maim, and most of them like to storm's eye for more dps. And trust me, the combat style of a NIN that has not to use dancing edge is... awesome.


Now, in skill matter; NIN (without dancing edge style) = melee easy / NIN & MNK ( Melee normal) / DRG = (Melee hard)





PS: You already have a DRG, some of its accesories can be shared for MNK and even BiS.

Were you accounting for the current CT clipping issue? We're losing 3 (?) ticks every CT. So, clipping about 105 potency on every use.

I don't think it really matters for this comparison because it's up continuously vs dropping off entirely for 2 or 3 gcds. I can't claim 235 potency is exact because doing this simply means not separating into 100ths of seconds and trying to line up the timing and potency perfectly, I'm pretty sure Thendiel has already done this somewhere in the drg thread.
