    Trying to Decide Main Class Still? Dps parses of all classes at 85 compared...

    WARNING: These numbers are based upon DPS simulators for CATA -- probably not completely accurate lol

    So, basically, you might be in a situation trying to figure out what class you want to pick that will do well in Cata. Well, remember how Blizz always keeps saying that at 85 it is all balanced out? Well, these numbers are based on your character being in BiS gear and it is assumed they perform a perfect rotation.

    READY?


    1.Shaman (elemental) - 24868dps

    2.Warrior (arms) - 24810dps

    3.Spriest - 24223dps

    4.Warlock (aff) - 23927dps

    5.DK (unholy) - 23674dps

    6.Druid (balance) - 23322dps

    7.Mage (fire) - 23164dps

    8.Warlock (destro) - 23120dps

    9.Warlock (demo) - 22554dps

    10.Shaman (enhancement) - 21577dps

    11.DK (frost) - 20803dps

    12.Warrior (Fury) - 20770dps

    13.Druid (Feral) - 19703dps

    14.Mage (arcane) - 18856dps

    15.Mage (frost) - 18783dps

    16.Ret - 17892dps

    17.Rogue ( mutilate) 17649dps

    18.Rogue (combat) - 16885dps

    19.Rogue (sub) - 14565dps

    20. And Hunters... - N/A dps (Yup they are pretty bad in their BiS tier gear still lol)

    LOL enjoy your decision making (REMINDER: These numbers are not reflections of ACTUAL dps, just reflections of what your dps on your gear says you can do based upon a dps simulator. lol)

    I don't know where you got these numbers, but they're bullshit. Unless you've actually taken the 'DPS:' from characterscreen, but that wouldnt change anything since those have never said anything about real dps.

    Those numbers are way off, of doing actual Beta/PTR testing I found rogues to be the highest dps with current patch data, as always that subject to change but clearly shows whatever was done to come up with your info is way mistaken.

    Thanks for providing constructive and supportive mathimetical formulae with those numbers.

    Also, I'll stick with my own class, thank you. I'm not going to reroll because one spec will do a few hundred more than some other spec for only a few weeks. But I suppose there are people who will. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but I won't see myself rerolling just because of a few (fictive?) DPS numbers.

    LOL... well ding ding ding, you got it. These are based off of a dps simulator. It is not really a reflection of TRUE dps lol -- Anyway, this post was really just for fun lol With that being said, of the classes I have played on the BETA, and from reflections of others, the two top dps classes seem to be mage and rogue atm. Though, this often fluctuated weekly. Hunters really are on the bottom of the totem pole in Cata though for now, so I'd imagine a buff coming soon for them.

    At the end of the day guys, just pick the class you enjoy to play the most lol and I am sure Blizz will eventually get it in line with everything else...

    My whole point of this post was also to show how BS the in-game dps is... I mean, it is so completely inaccurate, so why even have it? lol

    Somehow I doubt the above, why even post it and fully expect people to go along with it. No math or detailings of what gear being used. much less the actual rotation which also varies upon the raid composition and whether or not there is movement.

    " if you aren't going to do it right, don't even do it at all."

    As Sklug stated in the first post, these numbers come from a DPS simulator.
    So i guess these are just simcraft numbers with default setup --> 5min fight time, all buffs & debuffs, no movement (patchwerk like)

    Even if its nice to see a few numbers i would never reroll just because of a theoretical simulation.
    Another thing to add is, that those numbers aren't even up-to-date ... looking at the simcraft numbers in the elitistjerks forum,
    an affliction warlock "will" be doing 24750 dps compared to 23972 dps from here.


    Just play the class you enjoy

    in TBC i did like 7k dps, after wrath i was doing like 5k, because of the armor increases of the bosses etc.

    you dont realise, as level increases the ammount of points for a stat increases a huge ammount, your going to lose so much crit and haste your dps will go down so much
