<P>Debuffs usually affect absolute DPS only, as they tend to impact people fairly equally.  Relative DPS, we don't change much versus assassins depending on the debuffs.  It's a different situation...

<P>It's simpy fact that you can do as much damage as we do more easily with other classes.  The same amount of effort, gear, and skills with a ranger returns more benefits with a berzerker,...

<P>Good raiding guilds will try hard on trash mobs because it makes the raids go faster, sometimes noticably faster.  If people are slacking all the time on fights it can make them take a looooong...

<P>It's really two different questions.  The OP asked if we're T1 dps.  We're not.  We're a bit below it, that's just the fact.  You only notice it on the high end, sure, because we're not like 50%...

<DIV>900-1500 dps is not T1.  I'm in that range (raid buffed self/debuffed mobs) and many classes can beat that.  But we'll see after LU24, it might change the landscape some.</DIV>
