They have low skill caps.

DPS pretty easy

Rogue / Monk tier 1
Ranger / Warrior tier 2
SK / Pally tier 3

for melee dps

1.Can shadowknights put out respectable DPS?
2. final pet spell and high-level haste on it,
3. plus Clarity on you and all that shit
4. have any data or experience with it?
5. how does it stand in comparison?

1. Other than a Paladin, or Priest class, you will be the lowest DPS on the raid.
2. Your pet is level 37. Most Raid bosses are level 60+ and AOE
3. Clarity will help you with self sustain using Lifetaps.
4. Yes. Pal/SK lvl 60.
5. I'm not rolling a Pal/SK for once, and the reason is usefulness on raids.

In fact, if you aren't FD pulling, I'd say SK is the most useless class on a raid.

Regarding the Great Spear of the Dawn, there's no undead in Velious to use it on.

It’s all how you define dps. Farming, small groups killing blues, raid, etc. dpm (ie sustainable) or burst? The max pet is solid damage but you won’t have it out all the time and even if you could it’s not gonna help against 60+ velious raid targets.

A sky/pally is an amazing tank for most non-raid targets. On raids their dps sucks but their survivability is very high (eg: healing from AoE’s, rampages), especially with an epic. A rogue has to be watched and spot healed.

For most normal world content anyone who drools over dps should just roll a charm class, enchanters have the most options. A charmed frog in Seb puts out many times the dps of a epic rogue. A charmed pet with expensive weapons and armor out damages an entire group.
