Increase DPS Numbers.

Johnathon · 03-12-2007, 03:51 PM

Here the question... Am I working as efficiently as I can? Can I do anything (using my current gear/abilities) increase my damage?

My weapon's are probably going to stay the same for some time (unless we get to sawtooth the ancient sometime soon, then I'll respec).

I am missing 4 masters

Shrouded Blade
Double Up
Hideaway
Stab

But here is my character ... You can see his KoS aa's.

Currently my EOF aa's include

5 Enhance Ruinous Rake
5 Enhance Desperate Thrust
5 Enhance Devitalize
5 Enhance Dispatch
1 Tenure

5 Enhance Underground Negotiation
5 Enhance Sneak
5 Enhance Quick Thrust

I've been slacking lately with the AA's and have 85.

I plan on
5 Enhance Skewer
5 Enhance Amazing Reflexes
4 Enhance Elude

Here is my stats SOLO (only INT potion used during this Screen shot).. using default UI.

I usually run down my bottom bar (primary) and up to my middle bar (secondary) and dabble in the top bar biased on whats going on.. then, while i wait for recasts, i switch weapons and hit both my "weapon dependent" spells (walk the plank and torporus strike), then re-don my primary weapon and continue clicking whatever pops first (leaning heavily on the 30 second spells that are in = and <ALT> = )

More STR and go more auto and let the auto do the cake ;)

John here is what I think.

Some may disagree but to each his own.

Here are some suggestions to pieces you have and pieces that are very easily attainable.

BP - I would try to get your hands on relic or coat of static aura. if your guild can clear dt (since you have parasitic i assume they can) acquiring either of those shouldnt be tough and both will net you more dps.

Ears - Like I said I don't know what your guild can do but if you guys can clear trash in fth you are more than capable of getting the relic hunters solitaire from the hand of glory quest line. I would also do the league questline and get the crit ear from that too. both of those would net you more dps. Another good choice here with your high int would be the planar orb collection reward.

wrists - dt reward. get yourself some haste from that over the cof. also the league reward here as well.

cloak - zek cloak go get it... cloak of flames is bleh.

Other than that make sure your pouch and neck have dps adornes and your belt has the haste.

In terms of hotbars... dispatch - devitalize - rake - dots - ma - restrain or sinister - double up... spam the rest... i try to keep shrouded - sideswipe -skewer in order as well so they come up at the same time. keep that DoN in your mh unless you have haste then throw the gdh in the mh and put don in the second.

I agree with pantz on the gear selections. All of them should be attainable for you.

The Parasitic Cuirass is a nice BP if you want to be taking hits, but you want to do DPS...use something, anything, that adds to it. The relic BP and the Coat of Static Aura add to your DPS, no matter how little the min/max is - it's still better then none.
