Parse topping classes?

[Sonark]

Let's go with raid scene, cause seems like group would be hugely gear dependent for everyone but Necromancers.

And what kind of numbers do they get?

[Champion_Standing]

Wizards, druids and paladins.

[aaezil]

Charmed pets best sustained dps assuming little/no breaks
Rogues 2nd sustained dps

Wizards best burst dps (important for some fights)

Honarable mention to rangers during the duration of their trueshot disc (and warriors for the duration of precision disc)

[Sahazar]

Vastly underestimating damage shields on the MT vs unslowable targets in this thread.

[elwing]

Definitely true... Saw some interesting parse from MT with a full stack of ds beating even the charmed pets...

[Daloon]

Charm is currently used for a small number of fights (mostly Kael) equating to a tiny fraction of the raid scene. But yes, Druids/Chanters can parse #1 when used.

Rogues are still the #1 DPS for almost every fight, unless a raid geared warrior pops an offensive disc. Then come monks, followed by the rest of the melee. Very geared monks will often beat lesser/moderate geared rogues.

If you're new, keep in mind that some classes like Mages and Necros often do 0 DPS, as their roles in a raid aren't to DPS. Pets aren't even allowed for most of ToV.

As a fully ntov geared Ranger i top parses right under Rogues with just auto attack on a large amount of the time. As a side note, Warriors with precision and gharns monks discing beat me.

Misleading information. Your worst rogue is still probably 30% more damage than you.

As a general rule and with skill, gear, and buffs being equal rangers will parse below monks and warriors (from behind and using dps weapons especially if using precision disc) and well below rogues. There are always exceptions to include but not limited to BFG and trueshot use. Rangers are a fine class but inevitably in these types of threads one or more ranger barges in with the message that rangers are super duperly awesome at << insert whatever here >>.

Parse topping classes:
-charm pets buffed if available
-rogues
-warrior tanking IF they have stacked damage shield and the mob quads/flurries unslowed
-wizards on older content with lower hp mobs. 32k dragons go down faster than Thai hooker. Velious bosses have much more hp and the fights can last long enough to run a body out of mana.

Depending on what your raid looks like, wizards can also sometimes top on things where they have bane nukes. We've had a wizard top DPS slightly edging out an enchanter pet with 18k damage in a...130ish second? vindi fight. Bane nukes available + enough dps to make the fight short enough not to run out of mana + enough aggro generation by main tank to allow chain nuking like that doesn't always come together though.
