Shouldn´t Assassins/Rangers be sole highest damage dealers in groups after combat revamp?

<div></div><font color="#ccffcc"><font color="#ffffff">My question is based on the assumption that the soloing capabilities of those classes stay the same. </font><font color="#ffffff"> </font><font color="#ffffff"> </font><font color="#ffffff">Currently Wizzy/Warlocks are awesome soloers and awesome groupers damage wise. Assas/Rangers are strong in group but extremely poor solo wise(my warlock can kill at least 3 times the mobs compared to my assassin in the same time, even my defiler is faster). So, if Predators stay this weak soloing after the revamp shouldn´t they be simply the strongest group characters damage wise to make up for this?</font> First group: </font> <ul> <li><font color="#ccffcc">Wizard/Warlock </font> </li><li><font color="#ccffcc">Assassin/Ranger</font></li> </ul> <div><font color="#ccffcc"> </font><font color="#ccffcc">Second group: </font></div> <ul> <li><font color="#ccffcc">Conjurer/Necromancer (using damage pet) </font> </li><li><font color="#ccffcc">Brigand/Swashbuckler</font></li> </ul> <div><font color="#ccffcc"> </font><font color="#ccffcc">Third group: </font></div> <ul> <li><font color="#ccffcc">Coercer/Illusionist, Conjurer/Necromancer (using tank pet) </font> </li><li><font color="#ccffcc">Troubador/Dirge </font> </li><li><font color="#ccffcc">Bruiser/Monk </font></li> </ul> <div><font color="#ccffcc"> </font><font color="#ccffcc">Fourth group: </font></div> <ul> <li><font color="#ccffcc">Berserker/Shadowknight </font> </li><li><font color="#ccffcc">Paladin/Guardian</font></li> </ul> <div><font color="#ccffcc"> </font><font color="#ccffcc">Fifth group: </font></div> <ul> <li><font color="#ccffcc">Fury/Warden </font> </li><li><font color="#ccffcc">Defiler/Mystic </font> </li><li><font color="#ccffcc">Inquisitor/Templar</font></li> </ul> <div></div>

I play an assassin i dont see i problem with the groups assassins are in the first group so who is to say we wont do as much as wiz/warlock. plus the entire group will probably by so close in damage noone will be able to tell <div></div>

The chart isn't showing how much dmg they do in a group, its just showing the relative dmg compared to other classes and how high they rank above each other. The first "group" of classes are the highest dmg dealers, and I doubt the difference between their dps would be too big. <div></div>

<DIV>No</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> <DIV>Now keep in mind I'm a ranger but Ill say this.  Wizards are the traditional high end damage dealers in EQ history.   It would be unfair I think to not have them in the top position as well as their new counterparts the warlocks.  That being said its more than reasonable that predators get to run a close 2nd to them in the top slot.  I'm really happy with the new arrangement.   Besides look at all the erudite sorcerers who sacrificed hair to have that kind of power</DIV> *giggle* :smileyvery-happy:</DIV>
