Is there a website that gives an estimation on a character's DPS?

[chitanblue]

I remember i think i found one but i have no recollection. Does anyone know of a website where you type in the character's name and server and it shows an estimation of how much DPS they can cough up?

pretty controversial site (and concept) though.. :

There are hundreds, but considering it uses such a simple interface Maxdps.com is pretty good. For more exact info google a spreadsheet for your particular class.

I think the only class that it doesnt work with at this time is Rogue. With this app you can input raid scenarios and change gearing and it will simulate your DPS output.

ooooo right that was it. thanks a ton

not sure if those things take into account player skill..

when i get a new piece of gear i just bring up recount and the stop watch and dps for 5 minutes and see how it averages out. I think that's fairly accurate since i usually get the same numbers as i do in Heroics.

It a nice offline way of checking it out.

Lol, I went to this and it is way off for an arcane mage. It only gives arcane blast spam or AB x3>Frostbolt as dps rotations, rofl.

All of above is nowhere even close to a realistic output.

Try http://code.google.com/p/simulationcraft/ , use your own stats, your correct raid buffs, and run 100000 iterations.

Should give a very reliable number.

maxdps.com is BS, avoid it like fire.

Yep. This. The same site that reccomends 170 spell hit as the "hit cap" for level 80 Boomkin druids. Lol.

don't say I didn't warn you.. :

Then you obviously havent seen the huge buff to arcane mages, and if they are willing to pay for whats need to make arcane amazing, its the best mage spec for pure dps.

Stay away from maxdps.com

-flat out wrong information

If you would notice how the site works before attacking it you would realize that they thought boomkin sucked so bad that they never actually bothered to update them to Wrath status. They were most likely right seeing even cat in most cases can out dps boomkin druids in single target dps.

That being said. All I really use maxdps.com for is their gear lists. They are normally correct about which gear is best in slot. Sometimes I simply don't agree with them though. The site is a tool. Players should be able to tell for themselves what stats they need and what dps they normally do before going there. If they can't then that would be their issue.

I use this as a way of seeing where I can go to get upgrades to my gear (If you understand your class and what your toon needs). However, I don't and wouldn't recommend it as a way of checking your dps.
