Hey guys, I've been spending the night browsing some of the other class forums, and I'm becoming quite amused by what I see. In almost every forum there's some thread about DPSing as said class, and people always pipe up with "I top all of our Kara runs by 20%" or "I always get the most kills in BGs" or something similar - but usually with worse grammar. So it's time for us to come clean - who do you find usually tops the damage meters, and why do they top them? Gear? Skill? Class?
For me, when we run Kara, I'm near the top, but I'm also geared for harder things than Kara...I just don't have the time to try to get into a more serious guild. So I'm sort of overgeared for it, whereas we run with a lot of people that are undergeared. I will freely admit, however, that I have never out DPSed an equally geared rogue, and similarly geared mages are also quite difficult to match. I usually don't count my pet, either - I think of it as a bonus.
