I would like to know the highest dps melee in this situation.

Pretend this is purely PVE.

My friend is holding all the aggro with shield and I have the back to the mob. What would give the highest dps melee?

I would guess Daggers or Greataxe but i'm not sure. Would like some information. Thank you.

Also would bow be higher dps or not?

I'm a fan of High level Cursed bolts in the back with a transmuted r80 bone staff, atm 3 pnts away from 75 cursed bolt and dont have intensity yet but my Cursed bolts pound into mobs for 55-60.

Disintegrate with 30 Earth Magic Intensify hits on mobs for 70-80 dmg.

Yeh but cursed bolts cooldown and reagent cost etc make it better choice in this situation. Its a crazy ass bolt spell tbh

If you have rapid shot, I would think archery.

Okay true thing but I rather use and skill my Unholy Flames up. Hits for more even with a full backhit and skills is way way lower.

Just depends on what school you got tho.

Rapid Shot > Buff other. So you would need 2 persons.

Yea Spirited Archer+Rapid Shot, I can see that as the best dps if ya hit the target the whole time

Get hasted to speed up melee swings, use an elemental 2 hander, then debuf the mob for both damage types. In this scenario I might imagine dagger being the best possibly. Debuffing the mob for, say, a combined 10 point penalty means an extra 10 points per swing, regardless if its a dagger or a greataxe.

The simple solution is to debuff the mob with guiding wind, get rapid shot and then shoot it in the back like Machine Gun Mccain!

It is daggers. Nothing else kills mobs quicker if you can stay in melee. Obviously you cant do that against the really hard hitting mobs.
Get a good q3 transmuted r40, or r60 (drops from Hillgiants) dagger and debuff both piercing and whatever elemenatary damage the dagger does and hack on.

OP asked for highest DPS melee and several people suggest that the highest DPS melee is archery and magic (both not even melee).

Obviously non-melee stuff can't be highest dps melee... acutally, melee can be the highest dps...

The highest dps melee is achieved by getting buffed with haste (fire magic) then debuffing the target with a weakness spell for your damage type (necro magic). From there you want to mount up to get the mounted damage bonus and you want to try to avoid doing mount kicks. You will do the highest dps with mounted melee as long as you don't do mount kicks.

unmounted, your best bet is probably greatsword using the same "get buffed and debuff target" strategy.

I've heard that high mastry daggers are really crazy dps, but haven't been able to check it out yet. At around 60 weapon skill my transmuted knives were doing about the same damage as my transmuted greatsword on a debuffed target.

What you're suggesting certainly sounds plausable.

I sticked with knives from the start and will hit Mastery 75 this week. Everyone was laughing at me in the beginning but now the comments are different when i enter melee with mobs.
Even in PVP it seems to get better. Don't get caught by me in a corner ;-)
