Guild Wars 2

Now that we have the special force training area I was wondering what kind of dps are people seeing? So far on my ele that only has asc trinkets and a staff, on the big target golem I do around 32k dps and around 25k for the single target. Still haven’t tried my engi or war yet.

So whats your dps?!

Edit: Just tested my engi and war on the regular golems, I’ll post pics of the results. I’ll be adding a pic of my ele with no buffs and food to show raw dps. 2nd last pic is on single target and last is on large target.

And this is the reason why they did not to put it in in the first place.

Needs more charts and graphs. :P

would be interested to see your actual dps without all those buffs (not being sarcastic, I really would be interested)

With those ranger buffs, mesmer buffs, warrior buffs on an elementalist, then sorry, in my eyes that’s not a “your” DPS but a shared DPS.

Of course, I’m testing my dps for raids.

I’ll do it right now for you.

Was testing for raids.

Yes, because you get 100% uptime of all of those boons and class buffs in raids.

Also, what gear? I used the same buffs, with mostly vipers gear on a reaper and got well under half what you posted.

Full zerk. Asc trinkets and weapon and exo armor.

Okay thats not the point. Who ever does this will have the same advantage so we still see if the general dps of players are relatively similar.

Aye, of course that’s fair enough, but one can’t expect a scientifically accurate comparison from this then, if it’s not you on your own, since it’s hardly likely for people to gather a team together and ask them to each create a special build to match whatever builds gave you those buffs, in order to make a fair comparison.

Indeed.

But hey if people want to show off their fabulous PvE kitten, let them.

Those 32K deeps glass zerker eles will still melt like butter to condi roamers, lol.

The goal to have a standardized setup so we can single out variable and compare orange to orange. It’s a comparison tools, which have it’s used even if it can’t do everything.

The goal here is not to see what is your actual dps in fight, but to compare your efficiency in your rotation and to compare the dps of different build. If you can’t fix the amount of buff so that they don’t vary then you can’t isolate the 2 variables I talked about (build and rotation). You wouldn’t know if you had a better dps because you are better at your rotation or because you were lucky and had better buff that time.

That said, it would be nice to give realistic buff, for exemple give a like 50% updtime to alacrity. But I think it would be just too difficult to set up and it would give more variable, making it hard again to compare build and rotation.

It’s a fair comparison because anyone can go in there and put on all those buffs.

Pics are up. 7.5k on single target and 11.3k on large target.

Good thing those eles don’t run those builds for roaming…? Their ability to PvP is completely irrelevant

Then why add other class buffs at all? Sure use all of the standard boons for “conformity” but why add unrealistic conditions with adding every single possible other class buff to inflate your dps ego?

A more standard & realistic DPS check would be to add 25 stacks of might + fury and then whatever your own build brings to the table.

Hate all you want buddy. Everyone can go in there and do the same thing and see if my dps is bad or not so this has nothing to do with “ego”. If your ego gets fed off of a video game then you have issues….

And I argue that their ability to PvE is completely irrevelant, so I guess we’re at an impasse.

What? These builds/DPS measurements are specifically for PvE. Their ability to PvE is 100% relevant; that’s why the builds exist. How, exactly, are they irrelevant?

Sorry this is a year late for a response, but how did you get your dps to appear in the chatbox?

By bringing the golem’s HP down by 20%.

AHH. Thank you lol

this is nice and all.. but

it doesn’t acount for:
the boss fighting back
the boss moving around
you moving around
you having to dodge attack or do stuff for mechanics
your allies giving you ALL those boons with zero fail perfection

Let us see your situational dps, then we’ll talk.
