Is my recount broken??

People tend to be self-promoting (which isn't a bad thing, mind you). Thus, people tend to toss out "I do 9k dps on heroic bosses" when anyone asks 'em about it. Problem is, I don't think there's an addon that will average across your last 10 bosses, or your last 10 heroic runs, etc., so you only hear about those "super awesome crit strings" where people do crazy DPS. You get less of that here, which speaks to the general d-b.com character (/high-five!) but it still happens.

WoWwebstats.com has listings for heroic bosses and overall complete heroic runs, which may give you a better feel for how folks are doing there.

God I wish there was a mod that did that. If only addon coding was c# or java or something, I would write one

The more I thought about this and got to looking, even WWS doesn't do this. It aggregates global stats per boss, per class, etc. My guess is that those web parsers are not designed to upload a big log or multiple logs and focus on the player.

Would be nice if wowarmory maintained a bit of that average data. I'd much rather have people checking my DPSScore than my GearScore.

its to easy to game dps meters. one of the things to look at is overall damage done it'll give yeh a better feel of where yeh stand.

I mean with my warlock specced aff I've done 15k dps at one time does that mean I'm totally awesome with a warlock, no, just that everything was in my favor at that time, it was a raid, was fully buffed, there was a large cluster of mobs close together and I hit the mother of all string of crits, go figure.

In 5 mans on my warlock the better geared a group is the worse my dps is.
In 5 mans once yeh hit over a certain gear level who ever can do more burst damage will have the higher dps.


If yeh cant get over 2k dps yeh just level 80 and/or yeh dont know yer rotation or i should say yeh priority que.

I would download loggerhead and make a wwstats account, upload there and compare. You can upload 20 hours worth of logging, I definately like my wwstats numbers over what recount and skada say.
