DPS is completely lacking.. /cry

[Trojenn]

<p><strong>This is comparing my DPS to an assasins but for christs sake I was able to beet them pre TSO on the regular basis but now I have not even came close to beeting them. Here is a parse from SoH with 200 AA's for both me and Assassin with exact grp setups.. Dirge Fury Illusionist Assasin/Swashbuckler Brigand/Ranger and Wizard/Warlock. " Ok maybe not exactly the same but I have warlock ranger he had brigand wizard. Both Dirges have 200 AA's along with the Fury's</strong></p><p>Dreadlord D`Somni: (01:32) 4643446 | 175903.05 [>>>>-Fatal Followup-56584]Assasin                              | 14376.01 | 280Me " Swash "                     | 10664.76 | 122MT Assasin with lesser grp| 10029.18 | 195 ........  | 9375.08 | 86 ........  | 9059.94 | 86 ........ | 8860.68 | 325 ........ | 8484.11 | 67 ........ | 8271.65 | 83 ........ | 8249.42 | 61 ........  | 7838.66 | 52 ........  | 7744.54 | 149 ........  | 7733.29 | 73 ........  | 6314.50 | 61 ........  | 6159.21 | 29 ........ | 6156.11 | 26 ........  | 6152.73 | 16 ........  | 5133.17 | 11 ........  | 5051.10 | 29 ........  | 4110.07 | 10 ........  | 3584.67 | 21 ........ | 3400.70 | 16 ........  | 3279.00 | 13 ........  | 2069.78 | 7 ........  | 2010.00 | 9 </p><p><strong>It took a completely stacked grp for me to beet the assasin below me " Guard Assa Temp Defil Coercer Dirge " his dirge did not have his single target buff for DA and flurry proc but yet he almost beet my but. The assasin who beet me had the same grp setup and wiped the floor with me. Something is seriously wrong with this. The assasin in question has always been able to beet me on occasion but never by more the a thousand if even that. And that is just one of many times in SoH this happened. I am not even going to embarass myself any further with the rest of the parses. <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  I would just love to know how I am supposed to compete anymore since we are supposedly going to be considered a pure DPS class after GU51. And before anyone says anything I realize that Assasins are supposed to be top but I'll be darned if I let them fly that far above me. Its crap and alot of you will agree. and as for other classes they just need a bump too. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></strong></p>

<p>If you were able to beat them without having superior buffs or gears, then they definitly were slacking!</p><p>Even in RoK assassins were supposed to out parse swashies by a good 25-30% dps on single target encounters (concidering both have mythicals)</p><p>Also even tho it's not definite, there's a good chance that awsome predator crit debuff and thieving essence may be switched which means rogues will still badly be needed.</p><p>Also on multi mob encounters swashies catch up really close to assassins.</p>

<p>laugh, wouldn't shock me if they did do that though to be honest ^^,</p>

[Trojenn]

<p>Eh, I know were not supposed to be able to completely run them off the parse but sheesh, I have always prided myself on being able to beat them or atleast stay within a k of there parse. I cannot do it anymore. Dam assasins are running 13-15K parses consistently and I have yet to beat 13K on a regular single target mob. Oh well. Our hate transfer is getting negated, our Debuffs are useless, so i guess we will be the next ranger class. Only needed for DPS.</p>

<p>How the hell did you guys get 200AAs so [Removed for Content] quickly?</p>

[Trojenn]

<p>70% of our guild has been playing since release thus allowing us to rerun almost every zone up to KoS.. I have to say that the majority of us hit 180+ withing the first 2 weeks by running old raid zones.</p>

[OutcastBlade]

<p>Just got finished with a bunch of raid zones in KOS with my guild. Got me 2 AAs. So yah, need to step it up a little more I think <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Trojenn]

<p>Yeah, you can also go run all the level 50 raid zones like Spirits of the Lost or the individual raid zones that are in Antonica, Zek, TS, Common Lands, Feerot. You can also rerun the Mara Raid Zones, and don't forget all the old contesteds and the Epics in Maj-Dul. Oh and all the names in PoF, all the names in the camps, even the named Elephants there in the first camp in PoF. Plus you have Courts and Shimmering Citadel.. All those goodies gave good AA and are doable with 5 people and a mentor.</p>

<p>Thanks for the info mate.</p>
