Last time I actually calculated it (back in VT on named) I was doing over 200 DPS... I wouldn't say that "sucks"... but it's not consistent and definitely not sustainable in a TYPICAL exp group without the shaman dieing lots and lots.

Mobs drop so fast with their 15-22k hp that it's not even worth dotting them.

anyone who said SK or Pal in the same sentence as "good or best group" needs a wake up call.. Monks and rangers can tank just as well outside of GoD and they do more then 13 dps in full elemental + . Sk/Pal = shit already unless you have 4 rogues that you need the agro against

i agree with that if by tank you mean needing C-heals 10 to 1 compared to a real tanking class, ya know, i mean that is no big deal, i mean what is the difference, REALLY, between like 4000 mana and 400, i don't see what is so fucking assinine about what this moron just said

you think an elemental geared ranger takes 10 times the cheals an elemental geared sk or paladin would tanking in an exp group? And clerics in elementals how often are you running oom healing one tank in an exp group with a bard or chanter in your group ? never k so the extra cheal or two per mob (at most) is far worth the double in dps you'd get. Omg though pallys do have like bss so your rogues that aren't getting hit would have more hp np! which would be much better then them havng like attack buffs from a ranger

this argument is kind of moot considering the next patch will likely make the best xp spots kodtaz, yxxta, and qvic. no ranger, not even one in post-time gear can tank those mobs well.

but i agree with atalya about elemental mobs. they don't hit hard enough to run the cleric/druid OOM even if you chain pull 2-3 at a time,so whats the difference who tanks? just get the most DPS possible.

hmm
guess I would say for a general set-up for non-specific content.
3 person group: Paly, Cleric, Bard
4 person group: Paly, Druid, Bard, Beast

dpending on the situation there will always be different setups that work better.
