If anone can make suggestions and what not let me know im currently around 2 to 3 on the parser the only person that beats me all the time is a ranger with the rigid scale bow.

No, its still "http://http//".

Anyway, here I go:

Get rid of any armor that doesn't have str, your str is so bad I want to cry. If you want to wear a 3-peice kithicor, get the shoulders, keep the boots, and if you can't get pants or gloves, I guess the hat is ok even though it has no str.

Good belts are tough to find, so the one you're wearing is ok for now. Maybe try and find an Adjuncant's Belt or w/e its called out of PoA. It has slightly higher str. Keep an eye out when your guild does labs for either of the fable belts (the one with crushing/slashing/peircing preferably)

Just noticed your gloves have no str... try and get some Serillian gloves from Kaladim ring event. Bloadsoaked Gloves from HoS and Gloves of the Virtuoso from DT are best you can get in KOS raids.

Get relic chain pants when they drop, don't need to tell you that.

Do Zek Deity and use the Zek Cloak. Garanel's should be for soloing.

Weapons to aim for: Grinning Dirk of Horror out of Lyceum and Dirk of Negativity from HoS. Although Talonsreach isn't a bad weapon thou. If you don't know about dmg spread > dmg rating, then do some research.

Get a bow... torn ligament bow, rain caller, w/e... just get a bow...

Your rings and bracelets are fine. Plannar Orb of Wanderer is good, but please replace that Dragonscale Earing. Get Ivy-shrouded Earing from the Tunare signature quest or Crushbone Tooth Earing from Acadecism. Death's Trance from HoF is good. Eventually you need to do the League quest line in LP/CMM from the earing and bracelet that give 2% crit each.

Do MOA questline for MOA neckless or do Unrest until you get a Sour Song Choker.

Thats it for now.

You should probably switch the weapons. Put the slowest weapon in your main hand.

#1 make them go back to LoA until you get a gdoh. There are probably only like a half dozen weapons in the game that are better than the gdoh for us. And if you don't raid eof, you will never see any of the other ones.

#2 seriously consider doing the SoD quest. That lucanic sabre is just as good as gdoh, so thats basically 2 weapons that are better than anything else you're likely to see.

True, those 2 weapons might be replaced pretty quick once RoK comes out, but if thats they way you want to think, then dont bother getting better gear at all right now.

Beyond that. Work on getting another piece of kithicors set for the bonus. Ditch the agi doll and get another str one. Or better yet, do the quests in the tower for the idol of zan fi for a +15 str charm. I use 2 imbued bands for DPS, agi and str. Do the quest lines in Loping plains to get better jewelry. You might not be able to get far with the league quests, but you should be able to do blackwater mask, and I think thats where I got the relic hunters solitaire. There is also a good earring or 2 from doing collection quests (werewolf teeth is one of them). Rememeber Str is your most important stat until you can hit 850.

For any more help, we'd have to know what poisons and potions you use, your CA order, and a buncha crap like that. But you can search the forums and find those answers because its all been gone over more than once.

Getting up there on the parse takes practice and really playing your toon effectively as well.

As far as gear:

Get the Kithicor shoulderpads, and Leggings. Both are contested but you should still try to devote some time to getting these. The shoulderpads drop off 3 mobs in MMC: Veingore, Butler, and another named but I can not remember his name. Leggings drop in CMM but its pretty easy to camp if you get a guild group dedicated to it. The gauntlets haste does not stack and these gloves have no STR on them. Replace them and possibly keep the bracelet. Necklace of Shadowy strikes is a good start before you get the Mark of Awakened Instinct, do the MoA series for a better item. Planar Orb of the Wanderer is ok (the proc is meh!), but look for something with a high Strenght to replace. The LP collection for the Fangs is a good choice. Upgrade your dolls or do the Tower Quest. Upgrade the Ring as well, if you dont have 800 STR go with Strenght imbued but once you can hit 800 use the AGI one.

As for Poisons, Hemotoxin is the only way to go. Gracelessness and Bliss should always be up. Gracelessness will help with your DPS making the mobs easier to hit. The 2 other poisons worth looking at are Warding Ebb and Turgur. These are more utility poisons but against certain mobs they are pretty good. Warding Ebb is good for fights where you have to stay at range, which doesn't effect you much but helps with Casters doing DPS but also works for your poison and MM since fights where you do alot of ranged. Poison and Agnozing Pain are gonna make up alot of your DPS. Turgur is also good in this aspect since your gonna be out of range most of the time, Turgur will slow the Mob giving considerable survivability to the Tank. Enfeebling is also good here but hopefully you got a tank you can take the punishment, but overall Ebb is much better.

But overall DPS comes from your skills. Learn how to joust perfectly: you should be jousting just before the Mob AoE's and coming back in just after it goes off. So timing is HUGE. Time your CA's with Melee attacks as much as you can. Best practice is with ranged: You should be able to time CA's in between ranged auto relatively easy with 4 sec delay bow. In between the process of firing an auto-range attack, hit a CA and by the time the CA end, you should be firing another ranged auto. Practice this til you get this down then do the same with melee. With be hard with the delay you have so get the Lucanic Sabre, then aim your sights on Mayong.

Play with your CA's to find what combo's together well. 2 in particular are:

Intoxication : Enmesh : Poison Combination (drops Poison resist)
Sinister Strike : Constriction : Crippling Strike (drops defense and mit)

Try to keep these up in combination whenever you can.

Overall toping Parse comes from steady damage throughout and a minimal of empty space in between. This just takes practice.
