Hello everyone,
Lately I have been seeing people making claims about how DPS is so much greater now then a year or two ago. I have an issue with this statement as I am not sure how true it is.
A little backstory, I started playing DPS at the beginning of this year. My first parse on a 300k was 6k (ouch I know lol) over the course of the last 10 months I have improved greatly, maxing out at 51.5k on a 3 mil, or 48k on a 6 mil (solo parse no healer/tank sustain food)
I remember back before this year how most people considered 35-40k to be high DPS, so seeing 50-60k bring possible definitely shows that it had gone up. But I see a lot of people who are using people that hit 90-100k and are claiming that this is the true power creep. I feel this is misleading for two reasons.
1.) The iron atro did not exist during the time frame where 35-40k was considered high. Had it existed I suspect most people would have DPS in the 70-80k realm.
2.) There is not generally an accepted way to do parses. Some people allow healer/tanks. Some don't.
Perhaps I am mistaken, and if I am I encourage someone to elaborate on the issue further.
TL;DR - I feel the comparison between 90-100k today vs 35-40k a year or two ago is a falsehood and is not representative of the actual growth of DPS.
