Single Target DPS @ lvl 80 soloing?

falc410 · 02-27-2008, 01:41 PM

I was wondering what your dps is like? I've talked to paladins who have t7/8 raid gear and someone told me he had like 1500 - 2500 dps...

Well I have mostly quested and dropped T8 gear and when I use my dps build I have while soloing about 700 dps, usually it's more in the area of 500-600.

So I'm wondering what am I doing wrong? Am I really such a bad paladin?

Depends on raids im the OT so im never in full off gear (aka i use GBH and shield) and i always have a dirge so on single encounters im usally hovering right around 2k grp encounters anywhere from 3 - 4k.

Perhaps you missed the subject of the OP: Re: Single Target DPS @ lvl 80 soloing?

Haha second that! And also please I want to know the dps on single targets...can't really compare if you have a group encounter with like 8 mobs and use your ae's.

had to go out and see what kinda of dps i do soloing. It seems to range any where from 800 - 1000 tho on single encounters

that is still like double the dps I do against even lvl mobs....ok I don't have smite evil yet, but still....
I really wonder what I'm doing wrong. Got all my Spells to at least Adept 3, using the Nathsar Shortsword (but most of my dps comes from Combat Arts anyway).

Smite evil is freakin insane. I had no idea how awesome it was until I actually got it; its one of the highest dps end abilities out there, up with volatile magic. I'll often see it do upwards 20% of my zonewide parses in pickup groups. I would imagine that it would drop off with more +sd/ca and a better weapon though.

...and it's POWER FREE!!! Smite Evil is 'friggin ace even on solo mobs. It gets even more uber the more mobs that want to join the party. Power free is ftw when you're soloing. SE definitely will help your solo DPS.

I like maxing the STR line for soloing as well and make sure you get a nice haste item to compliment it. Heck the t8 Master Crafted cloak is a fine haste item in a oddslot for the un-rich.

I'm 700+ in t8 soloing against single mobs even in my junk gear. Herd up a few even conned solo mobs and you'll probably crack 1k easy with Consecration M2.

S'ok I can easily hit 800-1k solo but in raid situations my DPS is sporadic sometimes lower than 800 sometimes 1500+ sometimes close to 2k. So this begs the question why? I'm wondering if I need to be more conscious of my timing and CAs? And if I'm cluttering up this thread I'll start another one but I'm wondering why the heck my DPS is so sporadic, I know sometimes I toss a few heals but could that affect it that much?

ya gotta time yer spells and CAs in between your Auto attacks.....
if your using a 2 hander you can get 2 - 3 in no prob 1 hander are sometimes harder to time but delaying the auto attack on a 1 hander isnt as much of a dps hit as it is if you delay the auto attack on a 2 hander
