Guild Wars 2

For those who like to experiment with different trait builds and armor sets, there should be a Master of Damage NPC that can do all that crazy mathcraft for you.

For those who haven’t played Guild Wars 1, there was an NPC that you beat the kittens out of for three minutes (or until you use the /bow emote), and he calculates your DPS as such.

He should make a triumphant return in a variety of locations. Of course, having stupid amounts of DPS doesn’t replace the competency to dodge big red circles of death in a dungeon (which I suppose would be reserved for a Master of Dodging NPC), but the curious types wondering about how much damage they’re doing, Master of Damage would do just that.

And he could easily be added as default resident in home instances, for those who want to test their personal damage output as well as for groups (just enter one home instance together). A few in publicly available locations would be interesting for those who wish to compare damage in a situation that equals dynamic event bosses. But maybe give the results for this in a more private manner, otherwise there’d be massive spam.

A private one for home instances, and a public one in Lion’s Arch would be great! — I agree! Thanks for the addition, Ekevu.
