sec I will post a few of mine but in all honesty they have been sucking recently - I'm just happy to keep agro if I can talk on the phone and keep agro I parsed 1.4k on EH last night - that's how bad to give you an idea =p

MMIS I used two spikes. We had 5 priests. So I really never got out of my axe.

I'll bitch at Azleya to post a breakdown of my dps. I can do a full parse this week of everything. With breakdowns of my dps and everything. I will tell you right now it goes up and down alot depending how many people we have on/healers. Like if we have all 21 on I'll be in offensive stance and using a 2 hander on Contested Mayong/Avatars. But I'm working with less then three groups on that shit I'll be in a tower shield and my parse will end up only being like 1k.

Regardless - my guild is very lazy and doesn't like to parse zws on our boards so i'll bitch at them and post them later this week - if I don't remind me with a pm I will.

With a tower shield and SOD/GBH, I'm rolling about 1k-1.3k with a dirge and a bit more with a dirge+coercer.

With a STA/STR spec I'm nearing 2k with the buckler of Howler and GBH. Honestly, it all depends on how the servers are working for me. I was in the DPS group the other night doing 1500 w/o a coercer and just and inquisitor in the group.

Contested Mayong - parse sorta sucks - basically we only had 5 priests on raid so I had to be in defensive stance entire time, I switched into my towershield/brimstone right before touch. Otherwise Sword of Pure Valor

Look at my hit % sucks ass - If I could of tanked in offensive it would of been alot higher. Owell.

MT group (first in a long time) in FTH - did x tries on Treyloth, didn't win /sigh...

Did 1118 dps ZW.

AA: STR448 AGI448 STA4481 , Buckler of the Howler and Vilucidae's ...
Group: Coercer, Dirge, Assassin, Defiler, Templar, me.

Changed to Tower when ever needed. Defensive stance all the way.

Used MoA with 10dps most of the run (instead of defensive neck), got the 10dps on bow aswell (missing dps ear from Signature Q).

How can I press that dps?

EDIT: On my Guardian: Stromgaard

i am really interested to see if a good 2hder (either SoPV , AoUW, varasakin club or the even monk contested bo) are averaging higher or lower then buckler spec or a highly dps spec tower shield set up

Personally i average around 1500 to 2500 depending the mob, that is str 447 agi 446 sta 4448 with buckler of the howler and GBH with a dirge and a coercer.

I've been using str448/agi48822/int45 with Chirat from TTR for a while now, after using a cookie-cutter GBH/buckler of the howler setup. Compared to other 2H I'd rate Chirat for raw damage as better than Vrak club/SoPV, but obviously worse than AoUW.

I've found that in an ideal situation 2H is definitely the best DPS you can get; on any group encounter it blows a buckler spec away ~ tanking the groups of four in FTH I've broken 3kdps before. But for 2H to work you need the right raid setup, it's much more sensitive to buffs and gear than a buckler/hammer setup, and spikes more.

Given a dirge, illusionist, and all my crit/DPS mod gear on (which is about 51% crits/120dps mod), it's very high DPS. Like so high you're outparsing the Warlock, never mind holding aggro. But with just a dirge buffing, and on single mobs, it's not much more than with a buckler spec. What I like about the 2H spec is it gives you more tower shield DPS and survivability too, whereas points in a buckler spec are wasted when you use a tower shield. It's kind of a min/max thing rather than more all-round utility.

2handers and cyclone = better on group encounters
Buckler = better on single targets and all around better for dps

I have gone 4k on AoE encounters - it's not that difficult. 2handers are just spikey dps especially the 2hander I use - War 2hander.

Btw my spec =

4 4 8 4 str
4 4 8 6 2 agi
4 1 int

Running Guardian/Assassin/Coercer/Dirge/Temp/Defiler.

With GBH & Buckler of the Howler I'm getting 1500 on single, 1800 on two, and always 2-2.5 on three or more. ZWs usually around 1500 for myself, and 20-30K depending how focused folks are.

4/4/8 str, 4/4/8 agi, 4/5/8 sta. Really like the cyclone for AoE encounters, best way to hold aggro of a 35-40K AoE parse.
