DPS in Naxx, 23 June 2009

[Vitandus]

The stats from last night are all over the place due to tank swapping, tanks being in the wrong presence  ::), and people swapping out of DPS modes. You can still garner some information, though.

DPS performance as a whole is solid. Not across the board stellar, but solid nonetheless.

There are fights where ranged DPS should reign supreme. The data doesn't always reflect that. I did a quick dive into the data and it appears that spell/attack rotation is not as good as it could be. Talk to other players of the same class to share pointers on rotation and triggers.

Deaths and high damage input among players with lower DPS is not a huge problem but it is enough for me to notice. High threat means threat dumps - which usually translates to low DPS. If you are not in the top 25% of DPS and still pulling threat, take a look at your rotation and choice of spells.

Disparity in gear is not as pronounced as people try to claim. We have some folks with better gear under-performing those with lesser gear. Knowledge of class mechanics is as or more important than gear.

Overall, though, solid performance. (And yes, we can stop picking on Chuck now. I think it's time to pick on James.)
