Well, they don't lie *too much*...  There are still some issues to work out, but with the exception of DoTs, they affect everyone equally.  I find it disturbing that a well-equipped, same-level DK could out-damage a NAKED monk - let alone one with similar level gear.

i think that depends on total hit/total dmg, i guess its accurate since total hits of my parser are close or about equal with group members, dont think i will group with a DK everyday , but i group with a pally and  a  ranger everyday if you're intrested.......

Nod, just that your numbers does seem a bit low compared to mine and Xeliso (and the rangers seems to be nearly the same - wierdly enough).  I use 33.3-something fistwraps at the moment (they sorta slow though, so still more raw damage than barehanded fists), so my weapons are below yours.
One critical diffrence could be that your group lacked mitigation debuff, something harmonious monks are never without - the damage increase from that is very noticable; you also dosen't appear to have critted thousand fists in this time (which is ~4500 unbuffed with only mitigation debuff on mob) - which once again happends constantly to harmonious; I've actually begun to have agro issues as a rule rather than exception if I trigger that to early in a fight.
There could also be a diffrence between sustained dps (on a single long duration fight) and damage on several mobs (downtime between allows for regeneration of endurance and cooldowns, while a long fight is just repeating abilities.) Your DoT's could also have been missed by the log (thought there was a writeup with the combat log not giving ownership properly on them always) which is some loss of damage.

As Leishu was saying your damage appears to be way too low.  At level 30, I'm hanging in there with rogues that don't stealth much.  I haven't grouped with any DK's recently, but that would imply that DK's also out DPS Rogues.

Also, Leishu while your Harmonious debuffs would certainly increase your DPS (and his if he was a Harm monk) it would also increase the DPS of the rest of the group.  Thus the percentage difference would remain roughly the same, just the damage numbers of everyone would be higher.

I'm thinking there's something wrong with either how he is using his skills, or maybe his gear is too low level or not optimal for DPSing.

Also, as a Dragon monk I still find I'm critting quite often on Yellow con and lower.  Such that Thousand fists  and Thundering fists are always available to use when refresh is up and almost always crit.

Then again, I didn't take a good look at his group makeup, so that might account for his low parse.   Although that still wouldn't explain why everyone else in his group was parsing about where they normally would.

Also, if he's not taking advantage of vulnerabilities while the DK is taking advantage of them, that right there is a HUGE reason for the disparity.  Even at only level 30.  Boundless fist combined with Daze is pretty much constantly hitting for 900-1500 damage.  And if you have a ranger or rogue around that knows what they are doing.  Daze should be almost contantly on the mob to take advantage of.

Then again, having just received the upgrade for Storm Dragon, I'm at the top of the curve right now for the proc, so that might be biasing my judgements.

As for the cone shape Dragon Rakes it Claws.  I like it.  It allows me to freely AE without the need to worry about either aggroing nearby creatures or breaking Mez...  More damage would be just icing on the cake.

Ah, that certainly looks better.  Maybe, I'm spoiled as I generally have a bear shaman and cleric in group giving me buffs.  Although it's been a while since I've grouped with a Bard.  Likewise I tend to group with Warriors and Pallies, so don't have the opportunity to compare myself to dreadknights.

Data from this morning.  Velea and I were duoing in Kaon's Rest at the Fallen Lyceum east of Alinora's Retreat.  She was doing a little damage while focusing on keeping me standing, and I was focusing on making the mobs lie down.

By the way, my crit rate seems WAY up after the restart this morning.  I was critting on every third attack on average, using my Protector's Handwrap and my Brute's Handwrap, and that continued through every fight we had.  I'd say it was only every fifth or sixth attack last night when I was fighting the skeltons and zombies under the control of the two Necromancers in that zone, also duoing with Velea.  I'd guess the increase in my DPS from previous posts in this thread are from the increased number of critical hits.  I did just get 18, which brings the "always crit" attack, but as my crit rate was so high, I wasn't using it much; saving it for emergencies.

EDIT:  My DPS from the log at level 16 was 60 (vs. mobs over my level), at level 17 was 82 (duo with Velea again), this one is 102.  So maybe the increase isn't due to more crits, maybe its due to gaining about 20 DPS per level.  Not sure on what the progress is supposed to be yet.

We had one wipe when FD didn't work, a couple times more that we had to use FD, and generally great experience for just being in a duo.  In about two hours she to 25% in level 16 and I got about 10% in level 18.

I am a lvl 40 harm monk using a 2handed 41DPS bladestaff.  I was using tiger stance.  I wasn't trying to DPS very hard, meaning i wasn't using secrets or anything like that.  Also had to afk for a few mobs.  Gonna do the next parse going hand2hand with secrets in tiger stance.

These mobs were in graystone lvl 43 skeletons.  We were pretty laid back, so i'd say this is a pretty typical DPS output without a lot of emphasis on killing fast.  Literacy said he wasn't trying hard also 

Baucchus is a 43 wolf shaman
Helichrysum is a 43 bloodmage
Judinous is a 43 Dreadknight
Literacy is a 39 Psionicist
Josy is a 38 blood mage
