My napkin math is very similar to DSM’s estimate. I was assuming 2ppm and 10dps at best for melee damage.

11/34 .3235
16/22 .7272

Assume like 4-10dps from swing damage depending on the weapon.

Banish is 585. With a lot of DEX and, if approximating 2 procs per minute that’s 1170 / 60 (seconds) = 19.5 dps.

Expell is 273. Similar to above, 2 PPM is 546 damage / 60 (seconds) = 9.1 dps.

Outside farming greens at 60 or that narrow spectre killing range 40-51 would stick to low HP blues. I soloed my cleric in HK to mid 50’s then went to The Hole. Wearing down a 1500-2k HP mob with procs and melee is one thing but most blues past that are 4-8k. Its going to take minutes with a lot of self-healing. Its better to nuke and med back up. If I HAD to pick, I’d go with the Dawnfire and joust because I’d rather gamble on procs where you might luck out than rely on painful white damage that’s consistently a bit better.

Eventually gave up at like 57 and just grouped in Velks…the xp with a single enchanter in dogs/spiders flew.
