r/wd versus r/m dps for pve

I am just curious what everyone's opinion on dps of r/m versus r/wd for end game. Just to make comparison little specific, I would propose for burn only, I.e 15-20 seconds.
Part of the reason I am wondering is that I have an alt who is wd/w/r and I am considering if it would be worthwhile switch from r/m to r/wd. I wanted to switch for a long time but I have difficulties letting my present toon, who is r/m, go

Let me know your thoughts and many thanks in advance for any feedback.

Use Fruit of Forgetting on existing toon or ask always listening admin to add this item to IS.

In both cases without a lot of Daily Reset Tickets, which are on the sale BTW or hopeful XP/TP bonus weekend(s) you will end up with no way to level easily.

ps. M/R are fun class...

To RoMage: forgot to mention, I am useless human

To BB: thats the conclusion I came up as well, but I have limited data hence I posted. Glad to hear, I still dont think I have it in me to drop my main toon (so close to ibw

) and go elf. I am still secretly hoping there will be race change option but Shin makes fun of me every time I mention it lol

Thanks and if others have more feedback, please post, I am sure new folks would be curious to know. I still feel in terms of pve and pvp if you want to be dos and tank (2 gears) r/wd/w is arguably best way to go, but I am human and can not

I've never seen a good r/wd in action (my deadbeat server still has more r/s then r/m or r/wd) but from what I can tell they are roughly even. R/wd get charged chop spam + rogue rotation and not many good filler skill (that I see), r/m get enchanted throw, combo throw and rogue rotation. R/wd maybe better because you don't use 300 throwing knives on long fights xD Also, nothing wrong with being human -- r/k is too strong in pvp/sw

If you want to do more then 1 "job" on a toon, like dps/tank, there's many options you can do that are great. r/wd/d is my preferred combo as you can dps, heal and tank on 3 different primaries. Ofc, the jobs you can fill depend mostly on your gear, since many classes can tank or dps depending how you buff.

Thanks for posting that video, its nice knowing who plays what class when trying to compare damages. Makes me want to laugh at the few rogues who dropped their wardens for favor of mages lol.

And you guys were slow that one 20~ seconds o.o

I don't know and cant test, Govinda still down. I hope they did, especially day of rain which is really low damage at the moment; r/m does not have too many fillers apart from rogue rotation + throws

So what I'm hoping here is that they are just fixing broken skills, and then will rebalance them later. I noticed they fixed the text on day of rain. Did they fix the test on illusion blade dance as well? Or update the damage?
