lulz PvE

[Rikis]

So at work some days I'm by myself in the office and I take my laptop. Since when I get paged I need to go ASAP, scenarios are a no go. I'll be PvEing almost exclusively with some oRvR thrown in. What are some great PvE destro classes? My DoK absolutely murders mobs but he has scenario gear which is pretty awesome.

Magus, Mara, dok, BO.. so I've heard

BG == Mara > Magus == DoK > Blorc > Zealot > else, imo.

Whereas at 40, it'd be, imo:
BG == Mara == Zealot > else

Daknall' perfected PvE grinding on his Zealot ~

Thanks guys, I'll try out BG and Mara. I don't doubt that Zealots might be godly at 40 but the thought of grinding it out to 40 mostly in PvE isn't very appealing.

monstro mara... stack armour and parry is fairly solid, similar to dps dok

2h bg with its rending... and self healing is decent

zdps... is also good

My Personal Preference is Mara (when I use to pve alot)

[Fallenkezef]

I have a burnout-relief Dok for pve, does everything you need for a pve solo class.

So an Aoe Dps Zeal is pretty good? Is that at a certain Gear/RR threshold or just at 40. I'm wondering cause i'm looking into having a scav aoe farmer too.

Look for Daknallbomb's posts on the topic of Rare Fortune farm, he took on +30ish* (fixed, see below) or so mobs, if I recall correctly.
He specifically asked for spots with high NPC density to start even bigger pulls to speed things up, I think he genocided every kind of NPC atleast five times over, over the course of a few days.

I noticed I didn't actually answer your question: ZDPS is functional with merc/anni level gear and RR40+, I think Daknall's zealot was RR50-60ish when he did it, so the difference shouldn't be tangible, all things considered.

Abbd.:
For your convenience, have this. Just read through the thread a bit.

My record is still 1457 mobs in 1 hour with my zeal ,
My dok ( merc gear ) 877 record
