Best DPS class in the game?

[Marcusow86]

So no one voted for Summoner as one of the higher end dps-er? No?

Oh ok, i guess i should just go around the corner and jump my arse off the river for choosing to be a summoner.

Well summoner dps is nice but takes time to get going, as for the egi's the lvl 50 ability was a bit of a letdown (5min cd for 500-600 damage with both pet damage buffs up?). Although i do love Fester its a solid hit with full dots on only problem is u need charges for it but if it didn't have charges I'd say it was to strong then.

summoner has issues

1) no on demand burst. ther is no logical reason for ruin to even be 80 potency when archers get two dots of greater potency than ours AND have several 150-190 nukes - two of them off the gcd - at the same time

2) debuff limit - in large fates and eventually 24 man raiding since every class has 2-4 debuffs they apply our dots will be knocked off. this means no full power festers. this means we aren't going to be doing our full dps

3) overplayed - everyone and their mother is playing the class vs. the others. i see this more at 40+ than i did 1-30
