    Newbie question - how are you guys measuring dps? I just look at my melee stats in the character bar and hover the cursor over 'Damage', but I see screenshots of people with their dps showing in other windows. Do I need some kind of addon for a more accurate measurement?

    That DPS is just what DPS you do by autoattacking.

    Don't get me started on PuG Dps. I hate how, as a tank, I'm interrogated before I can join a freaking Heroic group, who expect me to have Naxx 10 level gear as a minimum, while 9 times out of 10 the ones who asked just dinged 80.

    I used to say, if you didn't do 1.5k dps before the first boss, and you didn't have a reason, you'd be kicked. I eventually dropped it because I didn't expect the ammount of people not being able to get that high.

    It's annoying as hell when I'm doing 2k damage as a feral druid tank, and we wipe on the boss due to about 2k combined dps from the rest of the group.

    So I'm thinking of levelling my druid again. I know they changed it since BC, but how do weapons factor into attack power, now?

    I've seen better. Ran a Sarth25 pug a couple months ago -- 2 Hunters both had full Naxx25 equipment ... one was at 1500dps the other 1800dps... I honestly don't even think you can autoattack with that low of DPS...

    No you haven't. I'm talking about their weapon DPS. As in a DK doing 180 DPS. Which is less than the DPS on their weapon.

    Wow. The only way they could do that is not having any skill for that weapon.

    Except that mine is within the realm of reason for terrible people. A DK doing 180dps means the dude was AFK most of the time or intentionally getting himself carried.

    If 1500 and 1800 are what you'd consider some of the worst pug dps you've seen then you've been very fortunate with your pugs.

    I remember when I was in a Heroic HoL run where the warlock and pally were putting out a combined DPS of 1500. And no, the pally was not the healer.

    well, it's only 40 badges each for shoulder/chestpiece heirlooms, and those are arguably the necessary ones

    the bow is fucking expensive i grant you that, but even so, they cost less badges than champion's seals

    only 145 badges total for bow/chest/shoulders

    Okay I think I am finally going to try and put a serious effort into this game, but in order to keep my interest I need to be in with active members of PA. So...what server should I join and what are you in desperate need of? Or where is the most fun had?

    I have no experience with this game beyond getting a character to level 8 probably. So, fair warning or what have you.

    If you have a preference for Horde, Shambler Milk on Cho'gall has a lot of active members who, in addition to raiding and doing crazy hardcore stuff, also do stuff like roll alts and kill faction leaders for funsies
