Yes, because having 100DA, 100 crit, 200 dps mod, 200 haste mod static will give u more dps than having that after all you/group has everything procd.

im also curious to see peoples thoughts in this area

ive recently betrayed from guardian < 4 yrs >

guild felt it needed a better aoe OT for new content

in full VP set i generally DW myth and claw the odd tough mob ill break out the trak shield and tanking gear

in DW Dps setup solo im aprox 65 DA and 60 Crit

parses in say VP or single mobs are generally in the 5-5.5 k pretty consistant

im working from the assumption here that the best way to up my dps is increase DA as a priority and Crit secondarily

as a guard i was parsing aprox the same when DW, although our CAs generally hit for less dmg i was of the opinion that i should be able to parse much higher as a zerk even on single targets

as far as timing goes DW is generally 2 ca 1 AA

regular OT group setup

illly
dirge
templar
assasin
mystic
zerker

i generally dont get IA


please post your thoughts or ideas

2 CA's inbetween AA is gonna push out your auto attack, i wield the same weapons and dont have a illy in group and still do the same numbers u have and achieve roughly the same outcome. with the assload of haste we have genearally im pushing 150-250 haste an entire fight without the illy, also i find if u spam 2 at a time and not one and pause a second u run out of CA's. Timing in one per auto gives you enough u have some refreshing as you get near the end of the cycle. This works for me anyways.

You can spam 2 CA between 2 Auto attack when at cap haste. To cycle well your Ca's, just trow in somes taunts when the maestro's on.

DW'ing 3s weapon gives you minimum of 1.8 sec delay, so you can cast any CA/most buffs when Acc Strike is on without losses.

there is very little dps difference between guard and zerk on single target, i'm not sure why you think there ever was.

Vormav

Guards CA's hit harder than Zerk CA btw, because they have almost only single target CA. They can change their only "class" AE with a single target attack that hit for like 6k and they can spend pts in Aa tree to boost almost every of them (while us, can boost our AE)

With Intrusion I can hit for 6-7k AE while Juggernault is up. Whit marr when I was a guard I could hit for 8k whitout temp buff.

Where Zerk is really good at on single target is that they doesn't need to be in the perfect group to be capped at haste and DPS.
