Handholding/Signing Post

Message to User:

Please do not ask for hand-holding. If you want to know what your dps should be, find simulation craft, run it for your character and it will tell you your theoretical numbers. Also, please do not sign your posts with 'thanks.'

Original Post:

As a suggestion, I think it would be extremely helpful if someone would like to post some rough target DPS estimates against a target dummy, un-raid-buffed, based on gear level. This should help many players/readers see at a glance "am I doing the right thing for my gear level" ? Obviously there are plenty of variables to consider, gear, gems, reforge, rotation. But a bulk park figure would be great.

For example with my 361 level shadow priest I cannot get more than 9.5K-10.5K out of a "completely free" boss level, target dummy (ie not a dummy suffering from other players' debufs). With my pally and 356 level gear I get easily 12K-14K even without gear enchants. With my 364 level hunter I top 20K. If I had a chart to use as a bulk park I'd know whether my build/choices are up to scratch.

Thanks
