Title: Gear, raiding, and DPS
Post by: Vitandus on Mon, 2009-07-06 : 03:10
(http://hordedefenseleague.org/table.png)

This is the list of the top 20 DPS characters by gear rating. I admit that these lists are subject to some interpretation, but the underlying truth is there - we have a core of people that are solidly geared. Yes, we could stand more gear to make Ulduar 25 more viable but our gear is really not the blocker (http://wowwebstats.com/fvlcudgj53ygy?s=17829-91555).

Please put forth the effort to learn how to maximize the gear you have. That - and not getting you more gear - will be the difference between success and failure in our Ulduar 25 runs.

Sad times - the screen shot doesn't have me on there, because I'm in my tank gear from reading.  This means that everyone should beat me on deeeeeps!

QFT.  It's not all about the gear, but about knowledge of rotations and the like.  I was surprised to see him down in the middle of the list myself.

Too bad I don't have the skill to make up for the lack of gear. :D

By the way Pat, what site did you pull that list from?

Thats a good tip Vitandus! I've recently gotten some great tips from posting over in the Mage section and I'm hoping that these will help to raise my DPS.

That one is from wow-heroes.com. There is a similar list at be.imba.hu.

A poll of the data today shows some shifts. Again, class to class on similar fights, those higher on this chart should out-DPS those lower. There will be exceptions but the general rule is that better gear should mean better DPS.

Top 10 geared DPS characters in HDL

(http://hordedefenseleague.org/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/uld25-9-Jun-2009.png)

Last night's progress in Ulduar Heroic. Javn is not represented since he healed a good portion of the raid.

Good progress on DPS. Still room for improvement. Keep it up!

I also see a lot of deviation in performance. Some of you perform well in one raid on some bosses, and then do less than stellar the next run. Please see what you can do to level your performance.

As a member of the council, I see that we should stop giving Acree and Meinteil loot as soon as possible so I can gain in position. ;)

The last list was screwed up and had some people missing. (Edit: Oops, I left the tanks in there.) The rankings are always a bit flaky, but you get an idea of the best geared folks in [HDL]. I don't know what happened to Korrtez.

This is the top 25 as the gear scores tend to move in groups.

(http://hordedefenseleague.org/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/23-July-2009-DPS-gear.png)

While it's good everyone is happy about being on the list, that enthusiasm should be reflected in DPS. If you have good gear, please push to the top of the meters.

if youre top 10 theres no reason you arent pushing me in dps. if you arent close fix the malfunction or stop taking loot from people who will perform.

I resemble this remark.  Not that I'm ubergeared or anything - but I suck so bad at this game I couldn't kill a toad with a fucking nuke.

Try using your penis. Beercans and frogs don't mix.

We need people to perform consistenly at their gear potential. Read, research, and then ask for help. Again, consistency is key.

It's actually pretty even, especially considering that there should be a fourth paladin (Rick) on that list as well.  Nice try though.
