Purpose

This is an archive of the highest DPS matches for each class from the bolster nerf (3.1) until the start of 4.0. Some shallow people would say this is epeen stroking--and in some cases that's true--but mostly it's about seeing how far classes can be pushed in a PVP setting. Indeed, this is not a "best players of each class" thread. Putting up huge numbers in regs doesn't necessarily translate to ranked awareness or anything like that. Some good players can put up numbers but can't manufacture kills; other good players can get kills but don't put up high numbers. Therefore, being first in these categories doesn't automatically make you the best at what you do.

 

Rules and Notes

- Must be current (since 3.1/March) since some things have been nerfed and starfighter gear isn't factored in anymore.

- Shadowlands only.

- No premades of four DPS vs four healers.

- Only full length games permitted.

- Include the spec if your toolbars are hidden. Also include the patch if possible.

- Please note if the match is ranked. Ranked is SWTOR at the highest level; 3k dps in ranked is FAR more impressive than 4k dps in regs (at least as far as dot specs go).

- Classes are presented in order of hardest to get high numbers on (Operative/Merc) to easiest (Sorc/Assassin).

- Imperial terms are used (because imps rule)

- A new thread will be created for 4.0. This will remain as an archive (much like Kirito's 3.0 thread).

General Conclusions

1. In a pvp setting, it is hardest to put up high numbers as an Operative and Mercenary and easiest on a Sorcerer or Mercenary. I would also throw Marauder in the "hardest" category because it's melee, but it's been getting some help as of late.

2. The classes in the middle of the pack (Sniper, PT, Marauder) are very effective at bursting people in ranked, though their cooldowns aren't as potent as a jug. This makes sense because jugs have a lot of survivability and not quite as much burst as the aforementioned classes. Working as intended most likely.

3. Jugs are probably less potent than PTs overall but a lack of data is in play here.

5. Mercenaries have fairly low output in PVP but are consistent and versatile; the top damage games tend to fall in the 2400-2800 range for both specs. Arsenal is more consistent than IO, which is surprising considering how dominant IO is in a pve setting.

6. All of the assassin screenshots were prior to the dot spread nerf; realistically, its raw damage output is probably behind sorc at this point.

7. Snipers have excellent burst AND sustained, making them easily the best ranged dps in a group setting. They do everything a Merc does but better, and can pressure almost as well as sorcs thanks to their incredibly powerful AoE and dot spread. When solo queuing, however, Mercs and Sorcs are more versatile and self sustaining. Working as intended probably. Mercs are 2nd in burst and 2nd in survivability for ranged - it's a "jack of all trades, master of none" class that is easily tunneled.

8. AP is "'ol reliable" for burst and remarkable sustained, but pyro has a higher ceiling due to its emphasis on cleave.

9. Not enough people play jugs (or post jug screenshots). Disappointing!

10. Ever since the force storm nerf, the ceiling for good Sorc DPS matches is between 3300 and 3600. Prior to that it was up to 7500 in perfect/ideal parsing circumstances (http://imgur.com/AxFug0e).

11. Marauders, jugs, and snipers are probably the most balanced classes in a group setting at the moment. Sorcs, PTs, and Assassins are a little overpowered; Mercs and Operatives are a little underpowered. Assassins might fall into that "balanced" category ever since the lacerate nerf.

RIP Hatred Sin in 3.3.

Lacerate already costs so much less force, also procs vanquish, and now will spread dots, so you're GARANTEED to spread them to like everyone as you already had to be close for discharge/thrash. AND you dont have to care about where to aim death field. (obv on groups but yeah). uhm hello thats a buff

It's not gonna be as effective at getting the groups that are not really stacked up, death field/force in balance is the best form of dot spread, taking that away regardless of what lacerate can do is a nerf. It's takes the range the ability to actually place and get all the people that are not stacked up away.

the good hatred sins won't see it as a "nerf". /thread

Pls @ /thread. Post screenshots.

solo ranked

Restarted thread and will update regularly. Someone should make a thread for healing if there's demand.

 

Why do this? Some shallow people would say epeen (and in some cases that's true) but mostly it's about seeing how far classes can be pushed in a PVP setting. It's interesting to break down matches and scoreboards and see how others fare. It's also nice to see how classes fare as they are nerfed and/or buffed.

 

It's starting kinda empty but I filled it in with some of my current screenshots. I know many people have done a lot higher than the screens I've posted

 

This is not a "best players of each class" thread. Putting up huge numbers in regs doesn't necessarily translate to ranked awareness or anything like that. Being first in these categories doesn't automatically make you the best at what you do.

 

Rules:

- Must be current (since 3.1/March) since some things have been nerfed and starfighter gear isn't factored in anymore.

- No Acid farming AT ALL.

- Shadowlands only.

- You must as least have some awareness; ignoring objectives is so 2014. The key is to maximize your class' potential while simultaneously carrying your team of pugs. This is sort of an honor system thing. Losses can be included but they should be somewhat close matches.

- No premades of four DPS vs four healers.

- Only full length games permitted.

- Include the spec if your toolbars are hidden. Also include the patch if possible.

- Please note if the match is ranked. Ranked is SWTOR at the highest level; 3k dps in ranked is FAR more impressive than 4k dps in regs (at least as far as dot specs go).
