I'm just very curious, who would you guys say has a higher dps. A BM or an archer? Who would you guys say is more fun and maneuverable as well as a good beginner class. Sorry for the nooby questions guys, I'm just really curious :Db:laugh

    Archer has highest DPS in the game i believe.
    Archer is a ***** in the beginning levels.
    BMs drain charms to no end.
    BMs are not a very beginner friendly class with all their weapon choices and what not.

    DPS - Wizards/Archers tend to fight over that since wizards can do mega damage but their skills take a long time to channel. Archers can get a lot of damage done in a short while.

    However, if you want to talk about the damage in instances, Venomancers have the highest DPS. This is because of their debuffs + their skills + their pet. The pet does not get damage reduction in an instance.

    not all instances.

    only TTs and RBs are where venos shine, or where there is a [?] enemy.

    Depends on your veno I guess. I can out DD just about everyone I squad with in an instance. Sometimes I'm really trying to. Sometimes I'm not.

    First, how do you know you're "out damaging" someone? Second, in a regular instance, a decent archer/wizard especially past the 89 mark out-damage venomancer/pet.
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    You know you're out-damaging them by ending up with agro. It's easy to out-damage a Veno's pet. I did it myself at L93 vs. a L99 Herc. All I had done was spam Ven. Scarab because I was looking away from the screen. I look back and I'm losing HP because I took agro.

    Depends still on the Archer/Wizard. I can tank agro from even one of them. b:victory Of course most of the time if I'm going to fight for agro rights, I will say something so the squad is warned. Bidding for agro at Phlebo or Ethereal Abomination is a bad idea. I did take agro on EA because I had to get it off of a wizard. b:sweat Murdered my charm there, good thing it was only 60k left on it.

    Archers generally do more DPS than BMs. Fist BMs are the only ones that can really keep up in raw damage to a decent pure dex archer, and even then it's a tossup. Archers are also a lot easier to play than BMs are. Point, shoot, run away if necessary, repeat.

    By endgame though I believe an interval-stacking fist BM can outdamage just about everything, by virtue of being able to constantly Demon Spark.

    +1 to this

    Bms can use fists/claws that have the highest attack rate. Stack it with -interval equipment and Lunar Deicide Claws and you get 5 attacks / second demon sparked.
    That means you can have demon spark always on. Thats like an insane DPS.
