When I last played mages owned this category. Now it seems that DK's can do twice the damage as a mage... Has mage DPS been nerfed?

World of Logs - Real Time Raid Analysis

Use this site to get a boss by boss look at what class is currently doing the most dps. I have linked the Firelands overview.

State of DPS

Is an aggregate of world of logs where they average out all the input to get overall rankings. I know nothing of the metrics or logic to how they gather this info so maybe take it with a grain of salt but it doesn't look that wonky.

But you still need to take into account where your character is at gearwise and what you are raiding.

For example, if you are rocking mainly ZA/ZG items and are a rogue, you should stick to Ass. But once you are mid-end Firelands and in T12, you will be several thousand DPS higher as combat.

But if you want the simple "which is the easiest class to sit there and pew pew" you will still have an easy time as a mage.

Hope this helps

This was in a dungeon with everybody being between 76 and 78. Gear is pretty even among everybody at that level. One DK was accounting for 50% of the total group damage. Can't understand how that is possible.

DKs are kings of AoE in low level dungeons. Diseases, DnD, Blood Boil, etc.

Don't worry about low level ****, as a boomkin its almost impossible to maintain equal dps through leveling dungeons because everything dies so fast you can't get casts off.

So your huge assumptions are based on leveling content.

Nice.

Actually, it's just Howling Blast and possibly a DnD, but mostly Howling Blast.

Frost PvE is stupid broken.

Just wait til 85 when you can pull nearly 40k dps on bosses using only a couple spells while everyone else is 15-25k. An erection every couple minutes.

Most people suck, WOTLK dungeons were based on AOE.

When I tanked on my DK between 76-78 I was pulling 50% of the damage in every instance I was in pretty much, but that's because I got to control the mobs and when to AOE using what etc. If you are a druid or ele shammy or a lock you just try to spam what you can to keep up.

Keep in mind you are judging DPS on fights that are lasting less than 5 seconds at a time. Raid boss encounters that are 3-10 minutes long show a much different story because you're not getting explosive burst dmg augmenting stats.

He hasn't done any dev work on it since he doesn't really play any more, but it still pulls current stats from WoL.
