A new blogger survey, this time for DPS

As long as we're going to keep encouraging this meme (or non-meme, as they may be saying), I'd love to see some of this stuff quantified a little bit more. It'd be interesting to put into numbers which kinds of classes like their roles best, or which situations each role likes to play more (do healers prefer raiding over 5-mans, or do DPS prefer to play solo rather than PvP?). The healer survey was a treasure trove of raw anecdotal information, but it'd be good to see this put into a spreadsheet or graph, and maybe give us a more quantified look at what people think of their class. We'll keep an eye on the DPS data and maybe try hashing it out once the list of those surveyed becomes pretty substantial.

There is only one DPS blogger in my mind, Christian Belt.

There's a tanking version going around too. http://childrenofwrath.blogspot.com/2009/11/how-do-you-tank.html

How about a 120 person raid? Or a 500 person raid? That would be really cool.

There's also a tanking version at whatisboom.com.
Regarding the quantitative stuff, I have been working on it - but there were a LOT of responses to the healer survey - and more come in everyday. It's a lot of data to sift through, and i've been busy just trying to keep the list updated! I guess now I can't procrastinate it any longer, since you folks are practically demanding that I get it graphed! Okay, okay, I'll work on it this weekend...

It's a good idea and I like it.

Yes, this was Jess' (Miss Medicina) brain child as a way to become familiar with other classes etc.
I've enjoyed it very much so far and thanks for the help spreading the word!
as a 'survey' again, it was more for fun and a 'get to know you' rather than a quantitative survey, but I'll see what I can work up from this dps version as well and see if any trends emerge - probably not factor analysis or anything, but maybe some spreadsheet/eyeball analysis to to look at trends... who knows? :)
