Best Plate DPS?Follow

For UIs, look at this link (List of Drakah's UIs), one of which is a WoW emulation:

I don't know how good it is, but others I have used of Drakah's have been excellent.

jonnypanic left out Clerics and Bards in his review, but Clr are very low dps other than versus Undead, but can still have somewhat descent kill rates using reverse damage sheilds, and DS clickies, and HoTs. But, in general, they would be the lowest DPS of the plate classes.

Bards can be extremely high dps with the use of charming and other techniques, that are generally used solo. In groups, their DPS is mostly in augmenting other group members DPS. I haven't looked at bard parsing for quite a while, but they used to be around Pal level versus non-undead, but their improvements to the rest of the group is what has always been their main draw, as well as superb pulling abilities.

These are just my opinion, and I may not be considering everything at the moment. Probably won't get any argument on the following though: Bards best pullers, War best tank versus single hard hitting mob, SK best at grabbing AE aggro.

_ Pullers: Bard, SK, Clr, Pal, War
_ Repetative AE Aggro: SK, Bard (when pushing for aggro), Pal, War, Clr (War get some great AE discs / AAs, but have long re-use timers, so far single use AE, they would be on par with Bard or Pal)
_ Single-Target Aggro: SK, War, Pal, Bard, Clr (Clr on both aggro types, can be higher due to heal and especially group heals for AE aggro, but not mana-efficient aggro mechanisms)
_ Self-DPS (w/o Speical mob/techniques): SK, War, Pal, Bard, Clr
_ Versatility: Bard, SK, rest about the same

Arguments can be made for differing orders, and espeically at varying levels, and varying situations, and strategies.

Hope this helps some,
