When you can't win with facts and logic, you make up lies. Your typical posting pattern unfortunately. You can watch my channel and see that I can solo harder content than KC. Penish is simply lying, and you bought into it because you prefer to troll people instead of have an adult conversation. Penish has yet to post the video, because he knows he didn't catch me do anything. He jumped the gun because he was too eager to troll me, and lost his chance. As I said before, be careful when playing with Penish in the future, he will troll you in game and waste your time.

"Group LF DPS, Shaman preferred."

These words have never been typed in the history of EverQuest. I wonder why?

Every class can put out dps. Some do it well. Some do it badly. Shamans can put out some dps. They can do it better than a few classes hands down. But they have to work really hard and focus exclusively on it to come anywhere close to a scrub, fairly poorly geared melee several levels below them.

Great class.

“Meh” dps in a group.

Decent damage contribution in a duo or trio of the content easily allows, but still lower than any comparably geared melee by a college mile or necro/mage pet (excluding the pet owners contributions).

I agree that DPS oriented classes do more DPS than a Shaman. That doesn't mean a Shaman's DPS is bad, or that their utility doesn't make up for their lower DPS.

Again, if you want to claim that Shamans objectively have low DPS on average, you need to bring some data. Otherwise you are just guessing.

Luckily you brought it for us, doing about 5 dps over 3 hours in an HS group. Saved us having to prove what we already knew.

You keep forgetting the purpose of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jG1Aat1XdbI was not to show the max DPS a Shaman can do in a group. It was to disprove the idea that a Shaman's group DPS can never be the same as a Shaman's solo DPS. That is why I was using Ice Strike, to show the 1:1 comparison to this solo video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XwiGKTuu2E . You can indeed use a solo video to show how a class can perform DPS-wise in a group. Honestly this is such a simple concept that I shouldn't have needed to do it in the first place.

The HS group was a pickup group of two sub 60 characters who had never done HS west before. I myself was rusty at doing it. Of course the video isn't going to show what a group of 60s who know the zone like the back of their hand can do. Why would you think that lol? You just keep making yourself look foolish with these silly attempts at trolling.

Ahh that’s right, you tried to “gotcha” us with that poor attempt at that to be able to say solo super slow/controlled root rotting = fast kill group scenario.

Nobody bought it.

The burden of proof is on you DSM. It is unfortunate you never did what was asked of you in this thread.

https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=406923

You never joined a fast paced group (or hell even normal group) to log your dps over any extended period of time across multiple fights while competing for damage done with others. You just gave us napkin math and videos of you soloing low level seb trash as “surrogate proof”.

The established “truth” is known. Shamans aren’t gonna be good dps in a group over extended periods of time.

If you want to challenge that truth - you gotta provide that *factual evidence* you like to demand from others. Go join a group (big or small). Parse your damage and your pets damage over time. Do your damndest to do your best. Parse the other dps in the group too. Show us how it goes after a few dozen fights.

And we need 3 hours of logs, don’t give us parses. Parses are not accurate.
