That post is from the end of velious class discussions, right? That would seem to indicate that monks were barely outdamaging warriors at all. Look, I don't have legit data from 2000. All I'm saying is right now monks are outdamaging ragebringer rogues at L50 (yes every rogue on the server by now has a ragebringer) while warriors do half as much. I find it really hard to believe that's classic.
Another parse, this time from SolB: my dps is even worse here because most of the mobs were higher level bats and bugs and I spent a decent amount of time stunned. Also in this post Wonderr and I were mostly in the front while Trevelain is in the back. And somehow my guild has utterly failed to get my warrior twink a Jagged Blade of War. So I don't actually consider these numbers that outrageous.
Trevelain: 50 Half-elf Rogue with Ragebringer
--- DMG: 87021 (50.82%) @ 32 dps (30 sdps)
--- DMG to PC: 5465 @2dps
Sakuragi: 49 Iksar warrior, Sarnak Warhammer/Wurmslayer mostly
--- DMG: 42400 (24.76%) @ 14 dps (14 sdps)
--- DMG to PC: 32839 @11dps
Wonderr: 50 barb warrior, Zealot's Incarnadine Sword, no haste
--- DMG: 36273 (21.19%) @ 12 dps (12 sdps)
--- DMG to PC: 25177 @9dps
@treats: He had haste originally (was doing over 40 dps) then it dropped. That was where I began the parse. He was wearing the fungi tunic the whole time and I did not see a ton of annoying bard particle effects.
@travatron: If you people were actually reading what I was writing, you would know that I am aware that classic monks are somewhat overpowered. This is my twink, if he is a little underpowered for Naggy/Vox I don't really care. Besides, as you say classic is as classic does. What I am saying is that the current disparity is just so insane, any normal person would think it is unlikely to be classic. Now maybe it is, but if so I'd like to see how and why the devs decided to make it this way.
