Raid DPS?

Rangers arrows make all the difference in the world. As long as the > 8 dmg arrows hold out, its really tough for most people to keep up. Thankfully for the e-peens of most involved its difficult to keep a stockpile of those things around. A ranger who got a bunch of nightmare or <redacted> arrows hoarded up can beat near anyone as long as the fight ends before they run out.

Wizard > Rogue vs golems

One small catch with game parsers (GamParse in example) is wizards get an unfair advantage on "DPS" meaing they start to cast a big boom, once it lands the first time thats when thier DPS time starts. Unlike a melee class where as soon as they hit auto attack on, timers start.

That being said, there are several fights Im the top dps'r in the raid and theres several fights our wizards are, it would be sweet if some parse program could track the necro/shammy dots.

Rangers also do some very good dps, theres been times awhile ago (before I was max tomes) that our ranger was 500dps higher then me on each fight.... Now thats just sick.

The parses people have mentioned are all from boss kills as far as I'm aware, so the casters getting a "free" 3 seconds at the start of the fight doesn't really skew the numbers at all. On a trash mob that lives 15 seconds it is a big impact, but on stuff that lasts minutes it's pretty minimal.

Dimmi your charm is garbage, go ninja a better one in a pug.

Zaela, making it so everyone can parse DOTs would be amazing. For too long, necromancers have had it easy, with everyone else having to believe that they are really maintaining a full DOT rotation instead of just going AFK each fight!

But seriously, it would be awesome.

The parse nwaij posted, if it's from the boss i think it is, is majorly majorly skewed in favor of casters, for reasons I won't go into.
 
I use GamParse and the best way to sort through everything and find out who really did the most damage is to use the Total Damage value or scaled DPS.

Tested these with Temellin and Vaith (Me playing both). Scitters do not stack, and its not based on who has the higher affliction, it's based on who cast last. Same with Zevfeer's Theft of Vitae.
The self-taps also don't seem to stack (Again, last to cast gets it, not highest affliction this was tested with Vexing not relic, but the mechanic works the same)

Splurt, also, does not stack as well, probably because it binds to slot 11( if like live). And in my experience dots with a debuff component, barring claws of the chill, don't stack. And yes, I'm tossing in duration taps in as a debuff.

If necro dps is parseable by others, I think many will be surprised how variable it is depending on the resists of the fight. And probably suprised by, how long it takes to ramp to full damage, and how hard it can suck if the fight does not allow a full rotation or is short.

This should not be interpreted in any way as a woe-is-me. Just that like other classes, how good we are in a situation is going to be dependent on the fight's variables.

But to end on parseability, it's really not needed. You should just have faith in your necro.

Pffffft if lizard DPS were ranked on a top 100 pop music chart gwaine would be polka waltz rap.
 
Would parsing separate which toon did each part of the ds? that part sounds dicey in my thoughts. Granted not like its hard to do the math after the fight

I meant in regards to:

I have 103 dmg ds. Would the parser actually be able to say 43 dmg a hit goes to the mage, 21 to me, rest to the bard?

Couldn't you just have your tank parse this and divide it up later if you're really that interested?
 
To an extent Gerick, but it was a matter of curiosity. Not to mention the tank isn't the only person that gets dealt physical damage.
 
Really you should make all of the classes self-parseable only, not include necros in this shit wallow of obsessive compulsion.
 
We came, we parsed, I stomped everyone's nuts.


Just sayin.

Marza should post his parse from our REDACTED fight (which is a fairly long fight), for reference, and Nemesis Superiority.
