DPS when Tanking

Lucutious · 07-14-2007, 10:58 AM

Rarely do I have agro issues anymore, but I got to reading some of the other threads around and am sitting here wondering if I'm fully doing my part. Last night in FTH I had around a 1.5k average (Parser flaked out, and didn't import the encounters, so I don't know exact zonewide) but I spiked a couple times with 2k damage.

Is this on-par with what everyone else is doing? I'm using the Lucanic Gladius, and had a MT group of Mystic, Templar, Coercer, Dirge, and Fury. I know it's not optimal MT group, Warden / Defiler would have been better buffwise, but that's not what we had.

Short version: is 1.5k standard nowadays? above average? below average?

What spec?

I was a lot more DPS down the Guardian Tree but decided to swith to this setup. I'm not seeing a huge return from it, however, so I'll probably re-spec down the DPS line again.

(I'll take aa suggestions as well if you have any heh - I'm always up for ways to improve.)

why didn't you get the 10% double attack from the slaughtering line?

I had teh slaughtering line maxxed, and had that, but decided to go a little more defensive a while back. With the free respecs I might give it a go again, I'm sure that'll up my dps considerably. I don't want to lose my 12 second plant, though... Hmmm

sorry but you already lost your 12 second epic plant last GU. its 4.2 seconds now with 5 in the AA. Its possible to have the double attack AA and still have plant maxed. just have to spend your points more wisely.

JFC I didn't notice the change to plant until just now. What a waste. Well I tossed away quicker tower of stone, so let's see hwo that works out - freed up 14 points

Using: 448 Str - 4488 Sta - 45 Int for Warrior tree.

Maxed left side of Slaughtering line plus the endline; went across enhanced rescue, three points, and into enhanced reinforcement, 5 points; Maxed right side of Stalwarting plus the endline.

Best setup I can come up with and happy with my results so far.

in KoS zones with Str/Agi Spec (Using this atm atleast until I get more then 5 priests in my guild. I parse anywere from 1.8k2.4k Zonewides using the Axe.

Third Floor in EH easily 1700.

MMIS = anywere from 1800-2.2k

I'll post parses actually of this upcoming zws for my dps.

Axe puts up compareable numbers with buckler line. I would do more damage by probably 100-200 atleast with buckler and easily 300 or more on single targets. Question is it worth giving up dragoon's reflexes. Personally I love dragoons reflexes but my opinion might change once I get a 6th priest in the guild.

How does the full Str/Agi spec parse with more accessible two handers if you have tried it?

Even throwing around ~1.5k with one of those would be fun to just play with, especially with the re-spec card we have at the moment.
