Zhenics is absolutely correct here. I'm sick and tired of people overrating Damage Rating rofl. It doesn't mean anything. Take the min dmg, add it to the max dmg, then divide that by the weapon's delay and you got your dmg rating that omg, tells you how good the weapon is or if another is better. You might as well wave a magic wand and you'd get the same results.As for Nevkien, dude I can tell you near 1k auto attack dmg is completely possible (he did say near, and that really doesn't apply for a 3+ min raid), I do it myself. I'm my guild's top DPS, quite possibly the highest Assn dps on my server, Befallen, we know drama. That's not my own words btw, that's just what ppl tell me when they compare me to their assassin. Your case Nevkien having the dps you do after what you've stated to have in gear (unsure if your armor is fabled or not, I don't recall you mentioning) just mean's your not playing the class to the full potential.Trust me, that's not intended as a personal attack or a small attempt at pointing a finger and saying "noob, own'd!". It's just something I've already experienced. The assn's in my guild are nearly equally matched to me in gear and claimed they're mastered but I still out parse them and the other raid member's from anywhere arround500 to a big 1k (this is dependant on the encounter of course, and I do use our short duration buffs and use certain weapons according to the fight length. Lets just say the GDoH isn't my only piercer.) I'm always on top of our parses where as the other assn's can be 3, 4 positions below or not even on there. It just depends if you knowwhat to do, when to do it, and what to do first and follow up with. Also, we don't get to watch tv while casting our CA's like those wuss' over on the wiz/war forums SMILEY

(/point finger and say "NOOB! OWN'D!)The assn's class requires you to know it up and down, upside down, backwards, left, even inside out... We gotta work for our dps. Anyone disagree? Then you're just like me, you've played so long you forgot about the work and it's become a game to you finally.
