Ok so after doing some dps tests here is a list of my results. I only tested the most popular spells, mostly because they are the bread and butter abilities that do not cost massive amounts of soul and are thus semi-sustainable. Everything was tested with equivalent power, level, spell level, and attack (for weapons). No perks were used in this test, this is meant to see where each "role" currently stands without buffs in any given area.
Role: Magic
Creeping Death + Shadow Armor = 3,500 dps
Arcane Missiles + Mage Armor = 3,000 dps
Soulfire + Mage Armor = 2,800 dps
Weapon: Staff = 700 dps
Theoretical Maximum Output = 4,200 dps (Creeping Death + Shadow Armor + Staff)
Note: Arcane Missiles has a much more sustainable soul cost allowing the use of other high soul costing spells in conjunction (such as meteor) and thus may result in higher dps.
Role: Ranged
Boomerang = 2,200 dps
Strafe = 2,000 dps
Steady Shot = 2,400 dps
Lucky Seven + Shadow Armor = 1,500-3,700 (2,200 average) dps Note: Extremely dependant on lucky rolls
Shuriken Frenzy + Shadow Armor = 2,300 dps
Venomous Shuriken + Shadow Armor = 300 dps
Deadly Shuriken + Shadow Armor = 400 dps
Weapon: Bow + Range: 2 = 750 dps
Weapon: Bow + Range: 5 = 900 dps
Weapon: Bow + Range: 5 + Natures Grace = 1,600 dps
Weapon: Bow + Range: 5 + Burning Arrow (Tactical Marksmanship) = 2,000 dps
Weapon: Bow + Range: 7 = 1,000 dps
Theoretical Maximum Output =
4,400 dps (Steady Shot + Bow + Range: 5 + Tactical Marksmanship + Burning Arrow)
or
5,300+ dps (Lucky Seven + Shadow Armor + Venomous Shuriken + Deadly Shuriken + Bow + Range:5) Note: Extremely dependant on lucky rolls
Note: Damage can be increased further by standing at a range of 7 however this is not realistic in most scenarios.
Role: Melee
Weapon Bola = 1,900 dps
Meteor Strike = 2,200 dps
Shadow Blitz = 2,200 dps
Assassinate = 2,600 dps
Whirlwind = 2,400 dps
Weapon: Dagger x2 + Shadow Armor = 2,000 dps
Weapon: Sword x2 = 1,400 dps
Weapon: Sword x2 + Lycanthropy = 2,800 dps
Weapon: Axe x2 = 900 dps
Weapon: Axe x2 + Lycanthropy = 1,600 dps
Weapon: Mace = 1,000 dps
Weapon: Mace + Lycanthropy = 1,500 dps
Weapon: Mace x2 (Iron Grip) = 2,000 dps
Weapon: Mace x2 (Iron Grip) + Lycanthropy = 2,900 dps
Theoretical Maximum Output = 4,600 dps (Assassinate + Dagger x2 + Shadow Armor) Note: Damage can be increased further by using Deadly/Venomous Shuriken although they scale on ranged power not melee power
Note: Please understand that DPS is random which makes it hard to test, I tried to get an average of all results over the course of 60 seconds. The DPS displayed has been rounded for simplicity's sake.
