Actually, two things are broken not one. You just don't recognize one because your not affected by it. Itemization is also broke. And you seemed to have confused that with skill.
Your DPS is higher than some others only because you are in a raiding guild, which provides you the tools to be better. You have a nice group set up almost every raid and you have the high end items that are only available to those in high end raiding guilds.
You are not in a raiding guild because you provide great DPS, you provide great DPS because you are in a raiding guild.
I agree with this statement.Myself am in the furthest progressed raid guild on a pvp server. I have nice gear and mostly Masterd out. Yet I get out parsed constantly by classes that simply should not be outparsing me. For instance last night was helping a group doing some lower level x2 mobs. we had 1 group, 2 rangers (me 70, other 60ish), 2 Furies (68 & 70), 1 paladin (70), 1 Mystic (70). I was losing every parse to the Furies, on top of their spot healing for the Paladin. I had everything going.. Focus Aim, Killing Instinct, Honed Reflexes, Offensive stance, Caustic Poison, Str potion, Marr Diety pet up.. and was consistantly beaten on the parse by 200-500 dps. I'd like someone to explain that one to me. Yeah for a ranger to do top notch means having T7 raid bows including EoF bows and T8 Ammo.. but my gear compared to all those in my group was far far better. All fabled with 2 pieces of PvP set (which is better than KoS Relic).. stand alone 75 haste mod buffed was around 130%+ and dps around 125%. yet I was getting out parsed. even when using every big hit I had; Sniper Shot, Veiled Fire, Selection, RoA, Devitalize, Ranger Blade, Mortal Reminder (DoT), Emberflames.. I still could just barely beat the furies and I'm talking barely as in < 100dps ahead. On our raids it's usually:ConjConjMT SwashIllusionistWarlockRangerMT MonkRangersometimes the better geared ranger in the guild gets up in the 1-4 bracket but not consistantly. and he's got a 90+DR bow with a proc and full fabled.
