The problem with Sheet DPS is that the number does not include damage from [[Paragon Points]], or from various item affixes such as +damage to individual skills, +damage to elemental skills, and +damage to Elites. Well-geared characters in Reaper of Souls often have 2 different items adding 10-15% damage to their main attack skill(s) and 20-100% (or more) damage to 1 elemental damage type. Neither of these increases to damage are factored into the Sheet DPS, so it's easily possible for a character to deal 2-3x their listed DPS with every hit of their main skill.
