What the 679.6 DPS reference loses without each profession, against the best gear it could wear instead. Not modelled: the Battle Chicken's own attacks, Alchemist's Stone, Engineering utility. The engine also gives Skinning 5% damage to Beasts and Dragonkin (+4.8% on such a boss), but no spell in Forever's client grants it, so it is left out.
