If u ask people around here (including me) I would suggest a barb too.. but obviously since you already have an idea in mind (a wiz), then I think u might go for it.. most important is that you should enjoy what you're doing, fun is the most important factor after all

and also.. welcome to US server!

yup.. not even include your passive.. either refer to diabloprogress, or remove all your active and even passive buff.. such as Ruthless/Weapon Master for barb

^ fully agree to this. buffed dps is what matter most when it comes to fighting bosses/mobs.

say a 90k dps monk with MoC vs 100k dps monk with MoE (due to lower ehp or poor health regen mechanic in his gear), the 90k monk would produce more damage as compared to the 100k monk. but if compare purely based on dps, people might think 100k dps monk is better.

as for the unbuffed dps (or raw dps, where does not include active and passive skill), it's a reference to see how much amount of dps your GEAR gives you. it removes the class dependency so people can compare who's gear has better dps than others.

take another example from diabloprogress: the top 2 so called unbuffed dps - a dh with 500k dps and wiz with 461k dps. then check their profile:
bam. dh with 664k dps and wiz with 736k dps!!
obviously that dh has better dps gear but due to class it lost to wiz. so what does that mean? dh gear is expensive
