Rise.8259 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I'd like to create a character built around outputting the maximum sustained DPS against bosses and such in PvE. But I'm not sure which class should be my go-to for that.I suspect the mesmer and necro can output a lot of sustained condition damage, and condition damage is even better against bosses as I understand. I'm not sure which is better, though. The engineer has some potential in that area but not the best as far as I know. The opinion of engineer's seems to be that you worker harder to achieve less than other classes do.The deadeye or ranger can output a lot of damage at range, but I wonder if that is more burst rather than sustained. It's also power/crit based.I really have no idea where the elementalist falls on the sustained DPS charts against a single target. I just know they can do a lot of AoE damage.I also have tended to focus only on ranged DPS, so I really don't know what the DPS potential of various melee options are like warrior, melee rogue, revenant or whatever.

BunjiKugashira.9754 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Which class has the highest dps in any situation depends on a number of factors:Boon uptimeSize of the boss's hitboxThe boss's toughnessBurst- and invulnerability phasesMovementThere are some raiding guilds that provide dps benchmarks. These benchmarks are an upper limit and assume a perfect situation.https://snowcrows.com/benchmarks/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
