How much DPS should these people be doing?

[bloody251]

Hunter: Ilvl 350
Fire Mage: Ilvl 349
Elemental Shaman: Ilvl 350
Feral Druid: Ilvl 350
Ret Paladin: Ilvl 359 (lots of pvp gear)

I'm talking about dummy target. How much DPS should they be doing?

[Herecius]

Dummy DPS really doesn't mean anything. The hunter, for example, will probably have the Careful Aim talent, which will artificially boost his DPS by letting him crit a lot more.

Assuming all of those characters are properly geared, they should be pulling well over 10k without any issue, and easily 15k in a raid. Is that what you wanted to hear?

[Kabbalah]

Item level is inaccurate for predicting dps.

Also MM Hunter will easily top dps on dummies because of the permanent 60% crit buff.

[bloody251]

You are right, I forgot that talent. What about fights like Magmaw (the hunter kiting) and Omnitron?

[Grym]

Elemental Shaman with i350:

On thing like BH you can probably push out 16-17k dps.

On fight like Al'Akir, 9-12k depends on RNG.

Long story short, all depends on fight mechanics and class mechanics.

I'm a feral druid in ilvl 357 gear (3 pieces away from bis and still without 4t11)
Unbuffed, I can do about 16k dps on the level 85 dummy and 21k on the level 60 one.

However, as said already, those numbers don't really matter.
In a raid situation I'm normally able to maintain 19-21k dps. The best results you will get on Valiona&Theralion as it's a fairly simple tank&spank encounter.

Dummy dps is bad way to measure one's dps in an actual raid environment.

[Huntingbear_grimbatol]

on dummy the numbers wont be real.
For instance retpaladins get alot more crit and str through raidbuffs and thus improving dps alot.
Same with all class/specs. for instance a shadowpriest without a lock will do alot less damage than he could do with a lock.

For instance my paladins retri offspec 353 ilvl does 16k dps on dummies, burst 26k on dummies.
In raids i hold 19-20k dps and burst close to 30k dps. Dummy dps doesnt mean anything.

[Confucius]

dummies are mainly for getting your rotation/prio down as good as you can. Numbers you get are pretty irrelevant, unless you do like 5k with that gear

[Sinister Knight]

I wouldn't say the numbers are irrelevant, nor an inaccurate way to measure. Look at it this way, if the person does X dps against standalone boss dummy, you expect them to do at least that much in a raid with full buffs. If they do less, then you know that they have serious issues with movement and positioning. Some fights where my dps as melee is gimped, I end up doing fairly close to my solo raid dummy dps actually. Other fights I can pull off 3-6k more easily. Not counting gimmick fights like Halfus and Magmaw.
