How much dps is enough for maps?

I have an elemental cleave templar with 6k dps (fully buffed) and was thinking if that is enough for maps? with almost 4k hp and 80 all res.Will I kill slowly or at medium pace? And whats the average dps for a lvl 70

you should be able to do maps with maplevel 68-69.
at least i can with similar stats and in a group without constantly dying every 4-5 hours.

the survivability for higher maps depend on your skill, armor or evasion values. but below 6k life or high damage reduction i wouldn't enter lvl 70 maps.
it also depends on the type of the map as some monster's and bosses damage scales up pretty high.

i'm spoiled... i have between 3-4x your dps or even more depending on my shock stack applications or depending on whether i'm mfing or not and still think i need more whenever monsters on maps get multiple defensive buffs. the most important thing really is just having sustainability and being able to take on a lot of different situations. dps takes a backseat to that in well-rounded builds.

6k is enough DPS for maps, but the going will be slow above 74 maps. That is nothing to worry about though as you will gear up by the time you are doing 75's as your bread and butter.

you can do maps with 1k dps cleaves np with 4k health, dps is never really issue, just avoid damage

It doesn't make much of a difference as long as ur dps isn't that low that regenerate mobs are invulnarable for you (which they wont be with 6k dps).

BUT: 6k dps with Ele Cleave is really low, you could atleast potentially farm much faster with some gear or passiv changes.

^^^ yeah if i encounter on lastest character with low dps on a regn mob i just change gem around and throw on extra aura haste or something i dont usally run solo and just own him when all the adds around him are down

Doing a decent, nothing speciaql 8k Split arrow with high mf/ir and i'm doing just fine, actually more than fine, i mow down enemies like nothing with elemental weakness. On average anything over 3.5k dps and you SHOULD be fine unless you have low hp. then you will die a fast and annoying death.(unless you use high ES/low hp)

I'm doing well in maps with 2K or so DPS according to the skill tooltip. It's mostly physical based damage if that makes a difference. But with my build I don't have to worry much about survival so I can just stay in there and keep swinging for the most part. Definitely the opposite of a glass cannon.
