Does it really not set off any red flags in your head that this entire thread nobody agrees with you and almost everyone can't stop saying how dumb you're acting? I kinda wish I had that much confidence in myself. If 15 people were calling me a retard and nobody was on my side I'd probably give up.
No red flags are set off when the people who are posting have accumulated 700+ posts that are just insults and memes. I am not sure how that doesn't qualify as dumb. If you had confidence in your point of view, you wouldn't need to resort to that. You clearly lack the confidence to provide evidence or simply move on. The math is really simple, and nobody has been able to provide alternate calculations that weren't wrong.

What you don't understand is once you are in a group setting, there are too many variables out of your control that can skew the data (which is a favored phrase around here). If your Enchanters suck and your Mage pet keeps dying, your Mage's DPS will suffer. That doesn't mean Mage DPS is actually that low. You just had bad luck with a group. Getting good group data that everybody can agree upon is tough. I can guarantee you even if I did provide what you are asking for, you would just say it isn't good enough. That is currently what you do with everything I provide anyway.

The videos I presented are the best way to parse DPS. A Mage could copy what I did in my videos and we would be able to see the cleanest data we can get, which would provide the DPS of the class, NOT the player. Again, it's too difficult to try and reproduce identical variables across two different groups to get clean data. Otherwise the excuse could always be "my DPS was low because of my group", and you wouldn't be able to disprove that theory.
