Once you crack into velious raid weaponry, you have to consider monk specific weapons. Having those class specific weapons with superior class specific ratios is why, relative to the content being compared, monks maintain superior damage output compared to other non-rogue melee.
My paladin has 34% haste and a velious 2hander. I frequently out dps melee I group with at 47 and hang pretty close to a decently geared rogue I duo with. This doesn’t mean paladins are great dps (lol, they are not) ... it just means my gear is better. My friend is about to finish his rogue epic. When he does, he will leave me in the dust (as he should). Comparably geared and hasted melee beat me hands down by a wide margin every time (as they should)
NToV weapon ratios are shockingly similar with some exceptions. If a monk and ranger have similar ratios equipped, their damage will be a lot more closer. If the monk has his or her velious monk weapons ... well they’re just flat out better in melee dps. The ranger only hopes close the gap by using other abilities. In the case of some of those abilities (spells) the ability to do so is pretty weak. For other abilities like a trueshot burn? Well that’s a potent ability. Under disc it should come as no surprise that rangers can land high on the charts. That ability has a long cooldown.
Rangers? Great class. Super fun. Solid dps ... but not top notch sustained compared with others. What they lack in raw sustained dps they more than make up for with their broad tool kit and spell book.
