	The top 10ish dps specs look fairly balanced with about a 2k-ish difference in dps. I don't think there are enough samples across ALL raid bosses to say one class is clearly better than all in a spec. Some bosses just flat out favor some class/specs over others. It's also pretty hard to put a number on utility that any given spec provides for the raid at certain times. It's sad to see the dps disparity between specs after the top 10. Seeing a 10k dps difference with some specs on the pure dps classes is unacceptable and shows how little endgame testing was done on the matter. -----signature----- "A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer."

IMHO the ONLY spec that should rightfully be at the bottom of that list is sub rogue - that spec is built around short fights right out of stealth, and versatility - no way to make it a good raid dps spec. PERHAPS arms wars and frost mages should also be low as they are traditionally pvp-only specs. But arcane mages? Marks hunters? What a joke. -----signature----- Explorer / Soloer+Small groups / Some PvP MMOin' since UO beta, still waiting for UO 2.0 done right

You'd think they could have generated a QA build of the server to simulate end-game damage on bosses. Done right, it could be reusable code that they could just run over the weekend and get stats for everything with every major tweak. Sure, it wouldn't cover every possible rotation but it wouldn't take much doing to parse logs and fairly closely simulate what people are doing in-game. -----signature----- WoW and DAoC - Too many alts to count Charter Member - Altaholics Anonymous

Here is the order from top to lowest dps: DK unholy Hunter survival Warlock destruction Mage fire Warlock affliction Rogue assassination Deathknight frost Priest shadow Shaman enhancement Druid balance Warlock demonology Druid feral Warrior fury Shaman elemental Rogue combat Paladin retribution Mage frost Warrior arms Mage arcane Hunter beastmastery Hunter marksmanship Rogue subtlety Are you using the same link that Kewk posted originally? When I click that I get a list like this "Adjusted total" (apparently sorted on "median" rather than average DPS - not sure why): Rogue - Assassination 20436 Hunter - Survival 20135 Warlock - Destruction 19718 Death Knight - Unholy 19655 Priest - Shadow 18888 Warlock - Affliction 18785 Shaman - Enhancement 18767 Warrior - Fury 17505 18551 Druid - Feral Cat 17729 Mage - Fire 17425 Druid - Balance 17423 Paladin - Retribution 17091 Death Knight - Frost 16822 Shaman - Elemental 16627 Mage - Frost 16078 Rogue - Combat 16071 Warlock - Demonology 15383 Warrior - Arms 14372 Mage - Arcane 11263 Hunter - Beast Mastery 11143 Rogue - Subtlety 10419 Hunter - Marksmanship 10199 -----signature----- If ignorance were painful, half the posters here would be on morphine drips.
