What melee class has the highest DPS?Follow

You don't have to press the assist button (not like it would take a lot of time even if you did). Just leave your main tank highlighted. Most of the time, I don't have to change positions at all when switching mobs and if I do, it's only a very small amount.

Then you are grouped with some crappy bruisers man. Straight up. I wasn't trying to get into semantics, type what you mean and there shouldnt be any miscommunication.

also note Brawlers would be doing more like 20+ rather then 19 on average I hit for 20-25 and get in a nice 35 hit here and there, rarely do I hit for less then 15, very rarely.

so its more like

Akeru hits skell for 20
Predator hit skell for 8
Akeru hits skell for 18
Predator hits skell for 9
Akeru hits skell for 23
Predator hits skell for 7
Predator hits skell for 7
Akeru hits skell for 21
Predator hits skell for 10

so ok notice while the Brawler is doing 82 the scout is doing 41, add in the posion damge scouts doing 81-86 damage.

so ok wow hes either 1 under brawler or 5 above him.
but last time I checked I now have this wierd skill called fiery fist which tosses in 5 or 6 dmg here and there so say I land 1 out of 4 hits yay now im even or one above scout.

So umm yeah Scouts dont out Damge brawlers and if either does its realy small, at least when we look at base melee damge.

But then look at abilities dun know about your guys experience with scouts but I have not seen any scouts busting out crazy numbers with their skills. I however reach 40-60 damge depending on which ablity I use, and my apprentice 2 bruising strike does like 50 damge regularly, soon as I mine a silver cluster or two my damage output will only go up.

LOL, sorry if I offended you. It's really not my fault that you confuse so easily. You were trying to get into an argument of semantics to make me look bad and I called you on it.

Of course, aren't you a bit of a hypocrite for insulting me because I insulted you? Yay, we're both 10 year olds now.

<sigh> I hope we can bring this all back in line, as to have an adult conversation guys... I just wanted to clear a few things up... When I stated predator I did also mean one of the two sub-class's that you can be post predator (20+). Irregardless, calling the predator crap is not at all accurate, especially when we are talking about DPS... that is their cup of tea.

I purposely left abilities out of my log, as I was just demonstrating plain damage with no additional buttons being pushed/clicked. If you bring abilities back into the equation this is where the predator, and sub class's shine even further. I have yet to see a brawler, or any other melee class hit a mob for 188 in a single hit. Not to mention hitting with abilities like pierce, bleed, impale, quick strike, ambush, back shot, open shot that can be chain cast to deal incredible amounts of damage.

Shadow blade on average hits for 120 for me, sneak attack about 60, pierce at 50ish, impale also at 50ish, quick strike another quick 20ish... Bleed also continues to damage the target like a dot. Back shot is well over one hundred, open shot can add another 50-100 depending on how many arrows hit. Then add on Blade Flury and WHAM! Then once your done you can start them up again. These are the hits that I was seeing on most predators when I was still there, and I've never seen another melee class do as much in a short amount of time...

All of this takes power though, so a rogue will usually match or come close, where as the Brawler, or any other warrior class of similar level will not.... Go into post 20 and you'll really begin to see the difference.

Your predators name and server pls.

Your predator's name and server pls. Don't be scared.

Change your access on your achievements at eq2players.com. I want to see your 188 hit with your 258 attack.

Been trying to change my access... thats a pretty cool site, so thanks for pointing it out... However I can't get in to it. You know what menu to get into access the access for achievements and I'll be more than happy to. :)

Yah, its under admin. Click on your char, then on the right side go to admin. You have to log into the site with your eq2 screename. The site actually kicks ***. It updates your stuff, and your guild achievements and what not.

Sorry but it will not allow me to click on admin for my account, its greyed out... no clue why, I don't have any problem with doing so... Maybe its the site? <shrug> no clue bro.

Sorry, don't know if its because of the security here at work, but my admin is greyed out no matter what I do... I'm not lying to you, when I get home I'll go and turn it on so you can see for yourself. That cool Cardiak?

Ok Cardiak, I have it updated... It took long enough. I do apologize, my highest melee hit is 181 (188 was in beta at about that level). And the highest magic hit so far was 274 (was a sweet HO combo finish). I hope this clears things up, and trust me, things only get better for the Predator class's DPS are concerned if things are the same as they were in beta.
