Hi there,
I haven't played Vanilla since... well... probably 9 years or so. I just wanted to ask you a quick question regarding DPS and classes.
Assuming a single target encounter with T2.5/early Naxx gear and no penalty for melee or ranged classes, am I right when i'm ranking classes like this (Alliance, so no WF totem or so).
The raid includes a Shadow Priest and someone with Nightfall
1. Mage with the ignite tick rolling
2. Warlocks
3. Rogues
4. Warriors (if I'm not mistaken with this lvl of gear, warrior are not topping the DPS meter yet)
5. Other mages
6. Hunter.
I got 2 questions more precisely: When exactly do Locks start to take over Mages (not including the one with the ignite tick) ? I mean with what gear do they start to dps more than mage ?
I'm not 100% sure that they ACTUALLY dps more than mages on single target encounters, I'm just trying to remember how it was back then.
Hunters. From what I know hunters are one of the hardest classes to master in PVE. Back then there was little information available to people. Now that pretty much everyone is theorycrafting and optimizing his/her rotations/gears, can hunters actually dps more than mages/locks on single target encounters ?
3. Am I correct assuming that T2.5/early T3 rogues dps less than Mages with the same gear ?
Thanks !
