Is this DPS accurate?

Hey guys

I'm still never sure how much DPS I should be doing. My thing showed I had a DPS of about 893 last night. Does that seem about right? My armory is http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...Crusade&n=Falx

I had self buffed to 1177 +shadow damage (armor, blackened basilisk, flask of the sorcerer, sup wizard oil.) So my question is, do you think the DPS number is legit?

Looks pretty legit to me. It could probably be a bit higher but it looked like you didnt have a shaman in your group for bloodlust.

Looks fine. Gruul's silence/knock around crap lowers anybody's dps, but that's a good dps for that fight.

The problem with DPS is that different mods calculate it differently. Some just divide damage by time in combat, resulting in generally lower numbers. Some divide damage by time spent doing something, resulting in higher numbers. SWStats puts a 5 second buffer on it, striking a middle ground somewhere.

Your best bet is in comparison. From what I can see, you have the highest DPS in your raid. I wouldn't worry about it too much until you get passed or bosses stop dying.
