Actually,
There is a certain validity to the argument of not going public if your class is overperforming.
I am honest, I know the top DPS that a well played necro is, and no I don't think it is properly balanced.
That aside, since that is a DEV issue...
Every class should have a parse thread because it does make those who read it examine their DPS and if it seems
to fall short they have a place to pose questions and seek advice from others in class that are doing more.
I have a Necro alt, and as one necro whispered to me is that top DPS depended especially on one set of abilities.(something I didn't explore since I still play my wizard 95% of the time)
What I have seen all Necros do that are high in the parse is to use their Mage pet not the scout pet.
Also looking at realtime parses they often seem to jump up a few hundred DPS at the end of a fight, not sure if that is some Necro
sacrifice pet thing or not.(Can you tell I really don't play my necro.lol)
Necro's have to joust their pet which is more onerous than a scout having to joust, so it is one skill set they have to learn that sorcerers don't.
But class parsing thread will improve overall class DPS which is good as long as you don't get hit by the nerf bat when SOE see overall Necro DPS go up.
