I play a 180 geared dps Sorc with the 180 armour removed for the set bonus armour while overall dps is lower than other toons, the sorc dps when played correctly can do great dps and an overall very viable team player offering off heals and pulling other unaware players out of lava and spit. as for actual numbers my thundering blast hits on average around 8500 in damage with the occasional 10k hits. once again it is all about the Player skill, rotation, gear set, and lag speed playing from Australia my Lag is constantly at 250-300ms where in USA it is 20-40ms. I have not been kicked or rejected from a raid because of lack of dps (telling bad jokes and falling asleep maybe lol)
So in my humblest of opinions I love the lightning spec sorc it is very fun to play :rak_03:
