I've been a little down over the ffb mage, my first toon, and how easily I
die and how kinda 'average' the levels of damage are compared to the hunters
when I'm raiding so I went to IF and blew up the boss target for a few
hours, unbuffed aside from Int and the crit armor, from full mana to empty
with no evocation, just the mana pool to get a feel for what sort of damage
I could put out.
varying results (not all included by a long shot, but the sorts of figures
I was seeing):
dps damage done
2300 880,000
2900 770,000
2900 555,000
2700 1,120,000
2600 1,300,000
2300-2900 dps seems a big diff, but half a mill to over a mill damage is
huge!
procs and all used, dots up (LB), scorch running all the time. the spells
are as per
all the recommended rotation.. but there's no way i'm seeing anything near
what a h-tard can lay down :/
int 975
spir 597
armor 2065 <- gawd we're low!
crit 18.35
hit 393
SP 2010
haste 134
I loaded Quartz yesterday to try to bypass latency issues (being an Aussie
on a US server) and it made a little difference on the targets, however -
playing H OK last night (my second only time there) I was popping 3500+ dps
and topped the charts again (with no hunters around ;) , a good clean run.
Best bit for me was the mirrors. Last time (my first time there.. the guild
didn't like OK) the guild boss and I were to die before the dream.. I
didn't like that much (anyone else feel strange that a tank can be pounded
for an hour and cop a 4g bill, a mage gets tapped once and it's 10g - die
and it's 20+ ??), but I did as asked :/
this time I whined enough that the same guild boss agreed we could all stay
up.. dream comes.. I blizaard down my team mates then notice i'm still
being pounded and find the warlock hadn't stacked as we'd agreed - joy! I
one shotted him :) In to help the rest clear their mobs and we're good.
Second dream I simply one shotted everyone except the pally healer, they
took 2 shots =)
So now I'm a lot happier that I'm actually an effective player (well, more
so).
I'm second top geared in my guild, but I still feel odd that a hunter with
much lower gear can almost double my dps.
/kinda cranky that we're so soft - I mean, a LOD spellchucker can wear
plate! ;)
