We're talking about realistic situations here, not ideal situations.

Why Nuking Sucks - Ensign

Take a look - Warrior > Ele

An Ele definite has the best DPS, but that's only in short situations. Once that energy gets low you're useless. OP asked about 15 seconds, and I gotta go with the Ele on it. If you're beating something down in 15 seconds, though, odds are you could have whooped it with anything in the game. If you want any kind of sustained DPS that is, you know, actually useful, gotta go with Warrior or Assassin. Assassin will win in DPS, but the Warrior will spend far fewer skill slots to pump out the impressive numbers.

That's all generic, though. I can think of dozens of builds that outdo a War or Sin, but only in certain situations.

Leard to read and then comment. The OP did'nt say anything about realistic sitations. He asked "What character can achieve the highest DPS" if you can read the topic, and then said in his post that this was in 15 or less seconds. IF he had said sustained DPS over 60 seconds or longer then yes a warrior is better BUT he DID NOT. So Ele > ALL. In this case.

I do think you're mistaken and an assassin has the highest DPS in 15 seconds or less. Nothing can kill as fast as an assassin with a good build, not even an ele. So in that, an assassin is clearly better.

I have no GW atm, on holiday, but an assassin can do this.

With the skills:
[skill]Unsuspecting Strike[/skill][skill]Golden Fang Strike[/skill][skill]Death Blossom[/skill][skill]Moebius Strike[/skill][skill]Critical Eye[/skill][skill]Critical Agility[/skill][skill]Judge's Insight[/skill][skill]"I Am The Strongest!"[/skill]

Critical Strikes : 16
Dagger Mastery : 12
Smiting Prayers : 3
Norn rank : 10

Customised Daggers 7-17 15^50 20/20: with all the skills and chances included = 33-62 damage on each attack

Unsuspecting Strike: 111 damage + 33-62
Golden Fang Strike: DW for 15 seconds, 120 health lost from 600hp master of damage 120 + 33-62
Death Blossom: 80 damage + 2(33-62)
Moebius Strike: 60 damage + 2(33-62)

Making a total 198-372 + 371 damage, meaning 569-743 damage for the time of 4 attacks, which were speeded up 33%.

Finally, this attack chain with these buffs makes 569-743 damage over an approximate 3 seconds. Correct me if I went into a delirium. If anyone can try to do this on his/her assassin with these stats, will be obvious who is the best DPS dealer.

If your talking under 10 seconds then yes the sin is the king of DPS, however if your talking over 180 seconds then the warrior is the absolute KING of DPS.

Yes, an elementalist can achieve an extremely high amount of DPS, but that is using skills that the AI is programed to walk out of. Sure if the AI was willing to stand in FireStorm and Lava Font then the Ele would be king, but they dont so its not.

*sigh*

He is using a fire spell on a low level mob that is vulnerable to fire. try using your axe warrior against undead whilst dealing holy damage. Sainsbury's taste the difference

I think(/hope) the person you quoted was being sarcastic.

This is a pretty pointless thread, its well known that warriors have the highest dps. End of discussion.

MS+DB rotation. If you've got the energy, that's very much so constant damage.

I know this is off-topic slightly but in a PVE setting Pain Inverter can push out a high amount of damage in one second. 10 minions + shockwave boss (casting shockwave) + Pain Inverter == dead shockwave boss. 80 damage * 3 (all minions against the boss) * 10 == 2400 damage.

Saw it happen.

viper11025 · Jan 01, 2008, 09:14 AM // 09:14

Damage Per Sec?

In that case, NOT including spiking.
My sin can pull off 50-70 dmg a sec.

To be honest idk for sure.
Id say para.

Anyways, I think that Famine with Ancestor's Visage and Sympathetic Visage used against a mob of raptors would result in fairly high dps. That or your typical DSlash spam.

I also think that using the Strength of Honor+Judge's Insight could work as well with DB-MS spam sin.

What a rediculous statement IGMO. Health loss is health loss I don't care how it's worded in the game. The DPS of TOUCH SKILLS is far higher and better than any Warrior or SIN can muster out vs the toucher. A toucher can kill BOTH at the same time, so toucher DPS damage far outweighs anything the warrior or sin can dish out even against others a toucher will take them out 1 v 1 faster than a warrior or sin. But, you being an IGMO you wouldn't know that.
