Now try reach for the sky love to see those times
Had some time, so here it is if anyone wants in too.

R4 end fight, with Vulnerability debuff

20s for Rudus at 125k HP
36s for the two Golems at 37k and 35k HP
40s for Gish to go from 300k to 70k

1:36 (1 minute 36 seconds) total for everyone (Killed in groups listed)

Oh, the Wizard in use is a no lifer, no tomes but a +2 tome for Int gained at 1750 favour, and only just reached 31 Reaper Points..

DPS is certainly not everything there is to a build, nor is kill count. Still, comparing dps (single target) across different builds would be fun, imho.

I suggest using the stone scorpion Heresy of the Vulkoorim in the quest The Promise of Fire on R4 and to measure the time it takes to bring it down solo to minus 2 mil hp. It shows hp, does not die and hits like a little girl so staying alive for the test is easy and can be done solo without a babysitting healer or tank.
Great idea! Will definitely use this. It may not account for everything, but it at least will show you if you're directionally correct.

I really (really) wish that SSG would put the DPS test Kobolds on our airship.

I want the DPS Kobolds to have an added function, wherein if you stop hitting it or damaging it after 10 seconds it says, "you all done now?" and gives you a tell saying the total damage (and perhaps even the number of seconds from first hit to last hit, and of course it can divide for you and give you the DPS).

Well, some interesting info, it looks like Heresy will not display any HP after heading to (negative) -10 million HP. The Focus Orb only shows a - there from -10 million and below.

Took me about 90 seconds on a pure Aasimar Tempest Ranger. . . . I only have 20% bonus helpless (*** is wrong with me?). I also DO NOT have aberration as a favored enemy.

This is FAR from a top DPS melee build. Mostly built to be able survive pug groups when I'm drunk.

He counts as construct for some odd reason.

no you still need the scorps for monster manual HP reveal. He is a scorpion-golem, I guess...
No.... I have scorps HP unlocked. I have found him under the aberrations -> scorrows - at least I believe thats the right entry

Took me 16:44 on a tank (Warlock, played like he was actually dangerous). I only did -500.000 and then computed time to reach -2mil from there, there's a limit to what I'll sacrifice for science xD

Maybe those that cannot see the hp are having the server MM issue?
Wizard: 2:19.20
Thanks.

Just making sure. Thats 2 mins and 19 sec (and 20/100th of a second)?
I am a bit surprised that your wizard was significantly faster than my sorc. Just to be sure - you did this on R4?

Yep on R4, 2 mins and 19s, I did it 2x and got almost exact same time. I am trying to go faster today with swapping out Embolden for BoGW.

(Edit) I swapped out BoGW for some helpless got with same build otherwise on R4 -2M.

2:02 Wizard (EinarMal) (w/ BoGW Helpless)

I would assume a DPS single-element caster would crush the 2 minute time if they were optimized for DPS e.g. 1500 spell power, 70+% critical etc...

We should make a list of Benchmark Times for the -2 mil mark categorized by class/build type/role (tank/DPS/healer).

Describe your wizard's build.

I think I'd die of old age before my PM killed this thing.

For a lot of big damage builds this’ll give an artificially high DPS since you get all your good boosts from the get go and the % of uptime will be skewed. For anything that gets done quickly it’d be interesting to see the time to -2mil, and then total damage for 2 mins (or time to -10mil)

My current mixed self healing Tank with some light DPS Dwarf Pally got 3:54, but I’m admittedly rusty with my buffs and rotations (been mindlessly leveling alts too much lol) so could prob do a little better. Also it doesn’t build Pally stacks so I’m missing a good chunk of MP.
