I was wondering which class does the highest dps with what skill gems. I saw in General chat that scions were doing upwards of 50kDPs is this true? if not, then which class. I have also been doing lvl 70 blue maps with random people who are melee and they just walk up to blues and yellows and melt them with 2-4 hits.
I searched the forums and there is not a thread that asks my specific question.
Thanks in Advance

Dischargers do 10x more damage than any other build.
The best/most fun build and very easy to gear is a duel wield duelist use duel strike and reave in fast swords with these gems in this order of importants.
Im not going to use concentrated effect as unless you have expensive gear it reduces range to much IMHO. so. Multi strike,phyical melee damage,added fire,attack speed and one other i like enduro charge on stun,again some would put concentrated effect for massive damage.

melee in general do sick damage.
imo having a 6l chest and being CI double crit daggers with something like
dual strike/melee damage/melee damage on full life/added fire/multistrike/increased critical damage, running hatred+haste+20/21crit weakness+lvl3enhance and having an abyssus/meginords/etc will give you more than enough single target dps to melt everything.
good luck one shotting yourself to physical reflects though^^
a more realistic approach would be crit ci daggers/claws with:
dual/melee damage/melee damage on full life/multi/LL for single targets, swapping either dual for reave or one of the melee damages for splash (or remove LL if running claws)
on a 5l with abyssus+megi, running hatred+grace +lvl20 crit weakness

I hear legends of CI crit flicker double dagger builds that reach DPS upwards of 680,000.
It takes a crapton of currency to get strong enough daggers for that, though. Imagine the best two-handed sword pDPS you can reliably expect from using around, say, 40 chaos. Now imagine a single dagger that has better pDPS than that as well as high critical strike mods.
Yeah. We're gonna need a bigger bank.
EDIT: Shadow is probably the optimal class for going CI Crit Dagger btw

Melee
  • May 20, 2017  They are versatile, capable of dealing with most, any, combat situations, and they are the most effective at the Heavy Cleave melee ability. Also, they are not horrible at dealing with AoE, unlike other rogues. The sacrifice here is the limited ceiling for single target damage, and a general variance in damage.
  • Dec 08, 2014  Assassins and battle master fighters using action surge have the highest burst for pure level 20 classes. Paladins have really good burst which is mostly radiant which isn't commonly resisted. Paladin 18/fighter 2 can burn most of his resources to outburst almost anyone, but after popping their highest slots and action burst they really fall off.

Which Class Does Most Melee Dmg Build

Nice design there. Essence, corruption and trinkets does 40% of my damage, regardless of the class. Guess that is the new approach on class balance? Make every class do 5% dmg and rest is done by gear, so if classes do a little more dmg than others, it is invalidated by gear anyways genius.
