My 41 brig's DPS - 560, my 70 Necro's dps 450. Owie.

<p>I downloaded ACT, neato program. I thought I'd run through some DPS tests.</p><p>I took my level 41 brig out to Steamfont. I pick a level 41 pale spitting spider. I do the standard sneak, backstab, walk the plank, stun, run through backstabs, then finish off with HO. Mob dead, about 6 seconds according to ACT. 560 DPS... pretty impressive.</p><p>I go through a couple more mobs that equal my level. They consist of other spiders, minotaur, etc. etc... about the same. I go from about 480 dps to about 630 or so on a good burst.</p><p>I log in my freshly 72 conjuror. He's in RoK gear with AD3 / Master spells, 620 int. I was pretty disappointed by seeing 450ish on single target mobs and about 650 on times where I get two at the same time and can AOE.</p><p>I do the same with my freshly 70 necro. Rok gear with AD3 / Master spells, 690 int (cept darkness which I just use to pull) and he cranks about 400-500 at max.</p><p>Somethings wrong here. I know there is a difference between RoK mobs and steamfont yard trash, but really that much?! I don't want to make this another summoners need SERIOUS help thread, we have enough, but has anyone else seen or can confirm this insanity? Should I not assume that my DPS should be much higher on my higher level toons than on a level 41? Am I just comparing apples to oranges?</p><p>Aerlik, please give the summoners some luv ( and not nerf anyone ). This is depressing. I'm a pet lover at heart.</p><p>I can only imagine the parses at 80 with VP stuff on, since it benefits melee more than casters. What do brigs / brawlers parse at 80 vs summoners? Anyone got any numbers? </p><p>(Sorry if this seems hard to read / stream of consciousness type posting. Work turns my brains into puddin)</p>

Part of the necro dps is the pet so if you name your pet the same name as you it will add it. Or just add the 2 together, since I'm lazy I don't. When I do that I run a [Removed for Content] 1.1k but I'm not a raider and usually will only group with my guild.
