Default Re: DPS problem

I've recently gotten some longer delay weapons and wondering the techniques for timing auto with CA's. Do use animation, combat spam, or just count in your head? Have GDoH, DoN, or Vampiric axe.

I don't time them at all. But if I were to time them, the proper way is to create a chat window with the melee damage logs posted there. Cast when you're not going to do your big damage in the next second. You can't watch the animations or damage spam - they are delayed often. With practice you can get used to the timing and do it automatically. At least that's how it was when I was a ranger

The necros in our alliance dont usually assist they just direct targeted - still to this day due to habit. There is also the fact that there for awhile Lifeburn couldnt be casted through anyone. I learned to do this with my assassin a long time ago. ( granted she is an alt but still learned it was one way to easily see if I had aggro at the same time )

Yeah if you're skilled enough you don't need to, I don't doubt it.

yeah its still the legendary one - probably be doing IS this week to get the fabled one.

I usually get DPS buffs but my pally has the habit of stealing Agitate from me -says he needs it more than I do (can someone advise on this also? - I mean he's got a shit load of DPS procs but still cant dps for shits )

I am still working om my masters - all my stealth attacks (there's 1 M2 in here) & debuffs are mastered. Some of my DOTs & all my ranged & Stances are still Ad3

Here's a breakdown of my raid buffs in my worst group:

Haste Mod - 0 (can go up to 16)<-- I know I really need to get this shit on self-buffs..any advise

DPS - 69 (can go up to 180ish)

Attack - 1568 (havent kept an eye on this)

STR - 615 (hits 790ish if I'm lucky)

My gear is pretty decent now. Got my class gear, not totally decked, just need a couple more. Rings, belt & bracelet could need some work too.

Hm Haste Mod 0 isn't really good! Get DT Access reward at least. It's 23 haste on wrist slot (or neck) and easy to get. Or get the cloak from CM with 26 haste (\aITEM -1984710420 -516618541:Cloak of Vigor\/a). There are other haste mod items, but these are the two I have (I usually wear the cloak, since I prefer other bracelets and neckitem). Aye and belt adornment is also +2 haste. Bribe the illusionist .

Agitate shouldn't go on the Paladin. Whoever is suggesting that is an idiot. Agitate goes on a melee dps class, usually the best one in the group.

Default Re: DPS problem

he means the dps mod that procs from agitate i think. with your haste you definately need it. it makes no sense to put a short duration melee proc on someone who also uses spells > someone who only melees.
