Checking your DPS

Where the scarecrows are

Faction	Where	Notes
Elyos	Verteron, west of the Dawn Legion Base teleport	About five; guides also mention two on the cliff facing them
Asmodian	Altgard, northeast of the Safe Haven teleport	Two groups on either side of a staircase, some on raised platforms

| Your Legion Hall | Training dummies, if your Legion has unlocked them. Get there with a Return scroll from a general goods merchant, or from the Legion window (L) | StingKnight, video (2026-10-11) |

The game has a Training Scarecrow and a Melee Training Scarecrow (game text). The melee one attacks back, which is useful for practising dodges and blocks, not for reading damage.

Combat Analysis (built into the game)

The game has its own damage meter, Combat Analysis (game text). It opens from the main menu (Content) or with its key, which you can see and change under Settings > Key Settings ("Combat Analysis"; games.gg gives Ctrl + X, our read of the client's default looked like Ctrl + ]). It unlocks with an early story quest.

Mode	How it starts
Auto-Analysis Mode	Automatically when you attack a scarecrow or a boss
Single-Target Mode	Select a target, press Start, then attack it
Multi-Target Mode	Press Start, attack anything, press Stop to end

It shows DPS, Total Damage, Total Hits, and per skill the share of hits that were Critical (CRI), Perfect (PERF), Double (DOUB), Front (FRNT), Back (BACK) and Multi-Hit (MULT). A Detailed Mode adds damage received. Each session is saved in History (the oldest record drops when the list is full).

How to test

1. Open Combat Analysis and leave it on Auto-Analysis Mode.
2. Stand behind the scarecrow (back attacks count, as on a boss).
3. Start from full cooldowns and use your normal opener and rotation for 3 minutes. Shorter tests overweight your burst.
4. Don't use food or scrolls unless you'd use them on a boss; note it if you do.
5. Compare your number with your own class and combat power bracket below, not with other classes.

What is normal (Global, EU, 3-minute scarecrow)

DPS by class and combat power bracket. "Median" means half of the logged players of that class and bracket do more. From Abyss Logs (EU, all logs to 2026-10-22; Abyss Logs only takes characters at item level 1,400 or more).

Class	Combat power	Players	Median	Top 25%	Top 10%
Assassin	50k-100k	505	12,900	16,900	21,600
Assassin	100k-150k	238	25,600	34,500	42,900
Chanter	50k-100k	440	22,400	29,100	36,800
Chanter	100k-150k	209	42,300	56,000	72,800
Cleric	50k-100k	443	11,700	15,500	18,900
Cleric	100k-150k	202	25,200	31,900	39,100
Gladiator	50k-100k	590	13,100	18,300	23,300
Gladiator	100k-150k	377	28,100	36,000	45,800
Ranger	50k-100k	679	12,800	16,800	20,900
Ranger	100k-150k	333	27,000	37,800	49,700
Sorcerer	50k-100k	461	16,800	22,500	26,900
Sorcerer	100k-150k	227	35,900	46,800	57,300
Spiritmaster	50k-100k	495	10,900	16,700	22,400
Spiritmaster	100k-150k	245	23,300	35,000	45,700
Templar	50k-100k	385	15,500	20,800	26,100
Templar	100k-150k	218	33,200	43,200	52,900

Abyss Logs calls Spiritmaster "Elementalist".

KR/TW: Abyss Logs' KR/TW build has only 1 to 3 scarecrow logs per class, so there's nothing meaningful to compare yet. KR/TW is a season ahead, and its players log boss fights instead.

Reading your result

• Below the median for your bracket: the rotation is the first suspect, not gear. For Assassins, check that you open from behind, that your buffs line up and that Heart Gore follows crits (see the Assassin build from Krix Domi).
• Around the median: gear and combat power are the limit. See gear progression.
• Top 25% or better: your damage is fine for your gear. Party leaders still filter by combat power, so the number to raise is combat power.
• The jump between the two brackets (roughly double) shows how much of DPS is gear and combat power at this stage.
