Can warriors server as a dps member of a group?

Wizards are so bad.

Meanwhile, I'm sure people cry to get their chars into AoE groups.

Right tool for the job bros.

Up next, let's try parsing a rogue vs 4 mobs in burning woods or timorous deep or measure that xp per hour.

Now let's consider how much gear a wizard "needs" to be effective.

Can they? Yes.

Are they the best? No.

Magician and Necromancer are substantially better DPS than Warrior for 90% of the game. Warriors might start to catch up with itemization in Velious.

my level 41 warrior was the lowest character at a Chardok raid the other night. i parsed the logs afterwards, and he was in the middle of the DPS rankings.

That probably has more to do with you parsing above hybrids, certain pets, and semi-afk people than it does you doing exceptional dps.

definitely wasn't looking at pets

i was semi-afk too

the idea that warriors are crappy DPS is just a myth.

I believe the key is a high str.
