I keep hearing that our dps has stagnated, despite us having received some pretty good sounding upgrades w/ UF. What kind of parses are being put up at the Tower+ level now?
My sustained (exp group, lesson+ duration) dps is up about 30-35%. Frozen venom / Haergen's are so efficient for dps it's unbelievable.
5-10 minute burns I'd estimate up 20-30%, over 5minutes mana becomes an issue and you have to go a bit more efficient.
Burst dps (0-150seconds) is harder to judge because I feel guilty using glyphs with somewhat not useless AAs left to buy, that and the huge variance on short fights. I'd estimate up 30-50%, probably topping around 15-16k on a 60second fight with all the bells and whistles going and some luck. That's just me guessing at my max with my current 70/20 and 67/20 weapons.
in truth in a group setting / grind I have to fight to out parse 2 of the sk I group with. there new aa have put them up to us. if I don't chain nuke every mob then my dps matches there it sad.
Not chain nuking every mob makes baby jesus cry
In group settings I usually average 4K - 4.5k dps and unless im grouped with a wizard I usually dont get beaten I'm happy with where are dps is at honestly, not saying there isnt room for improvement.
Last Saturday night, I jumped in with a guild group in CC near the PG zone line and was told that I was parsing in the 4k range. So, since it was an outside parse, I know it was actually higher. I've been busy with some RL stuff, so I've not gotten that much done in UF as of yet, having only Frozen Venom and Friendly pet. I felt like I was running relatively low dps output, since I wasn't able to truly chain cast from mana pool limitations (we were pulling pretty quick... got 10+ AA that hour b/w the bonus xp, lessons and an xp pot.)
That was the most concentrated XPing I've done this expansion I think. I've gotten relatively few AAs completed, I wanna say none of the UF pure dps AAs done.
As I've said before: I LURVE, lurve lurve Frozen venom ;p It's effective, yet it's got limitations that make me think before using it as much as I truly could. It's not an autofire spell ;p One we've gotta use some sense in the usage of in order to keep tank tanking, instead of us.
the best i have done group burns atm is 8500 DPS
both my weapons are 75/25 Pre aug tho i really need new weapons tower is just not willing to drop my h2h's

New personal best from tonight
I'd be curious to see burn results from a RZ event for some of us. I know that's the one where I hit a perfect storm of multiple 4 pet swarms with a bard, so I actually managed to top out over a mostly tower geared rogue, when I had very little to no tower gear, hitting like 10k dps. And, sadly, no I don't have that parse anymore =((
I broke 8.5k then 8.9k the other night. Significant boost for me as I was excited about breaking 7k prior to the expansion.
I'd guess I'm up 25% after adding about 300 AA (3.3K AA now) and getting Frozen Venom II. I don't think I ever hit 4K on a raid mob before UF, but I was able to hit 4.8K on a 150s Rottrued fight. This is with mix of MMM/Cryst raid gear and some group stuff. I don't have any of the OMM or Gold token weapons and still don't have either Cryst or MMM mnk/bst weaps.
/bump
It's been a few more months, anyone have any improvements or strategies they've found to be the best?
Are the new weapons / foci showing decent gains or is it pretty minimal?
Since im not raiding UF im really wondering the same thing, im in Tower gear mostly. 11,522 my best burn in dps group, without glyph/7th vet
thats aboult what im starting to hit now that im mostly finshed with tower gear i still need a few things belt/face/rings i am done with tower gear.
Yea I still need rings/ears/face/ and still 6 hand/wrist essences, otherwise i got some nice T9 UF group items and old man mm raid gear...
im going with raid gear over t9 uf, its ok for now but i want hard tower stuffs
Had a pretty nice lesson burn in Thal today. Used 7th+steadfast servant+jester mana refill with leftover raid buffs (some faded during run). Got almost 18 AA.

Edit: who wants to tell me why these forums hate my gamparse table? Also, I love the new gamparse where it will export damage by type. Oops, new gamparse forgot to take away the finishing blows on first link.
what level are mob, and are there any death blows in that? with db can easily top 7k sustained over hours
I removed the finishing blows, I've done better but I didn't do any really gimmicky stuff for this one.
