What weapon are you using?

TFGoose

Sorry, yeah I guess that would be important information. This I'm sure is part of the problem too, as I'm using the Mace of the Imprisoned, the 1h from the Anaphylaxis quest. I'm using the Sarnak Hide Buckler as a shield at the moment.

I was getting obsessive about maxing out WIS, and had this paired with a Sarnak Hide Buckler. I'm perfectly willing to ditch that combo for a nice 2h when in DPS mode though. It's a goal of mine to acquire one of the nicer raid weapons for this toon, but in the interests of getting something quickly, I was thinking of trying to snag a Vraksakin Club, or something of similar quality/ease of acquisition. I'm open to suggestion on this too.

I wrote a list some time back:

Quested RoK weapons?

The new MC waepons might also be nice for a start.

You definately need something like a Vrak club, which is easily one groupable. Or you could even try out some of those MC weapons, they didnt look half bad when I was browsing yesterday. You just need something with a nice spread, high damage and slow delay to make complete use of our 100% melee crits and buffs.
Also its good to get some str gear. If you want to dps, you obviously gotta have str.
You also should learn to time your CA's with auto attack to maximize your dps as well.

The new T8 MC Weapons:
505 / 6,0 = 84,17

This is close to the "Silver Etched Warhammer" without having the proc. With the proc only the "Rex Bone Mallet" or fabled weapons droping in raids will do more dps.

p.s. Vrak is still the exception, as it still rules prior to bonecrusher but you need a few good friends to farm it. ;)

Nice. Thanks for the suggestions guys. I did some massive shopping last night and am definitely much better off than I was. Picking up the Righteous set and some adornments popped my STR by over 300, which definitely helps. As for a weapon, I just snagged a Blessed Incarnadine War Maul (+65 STR, STA, and WIS, +180 Health and Power). The proc is nice for a little damage or healing boost too, and will do just fine til I pick up something nicer.

I'm still only topping out around 1200dps or so, but that's much better than I was doing believe it or not. I apparently still have a long way to go before I can break 2K, but I don't know that's possible without winning some raid gear, so I suppose that's next on my list.

Hmm, I hit 3984 DPS on a VP trash mob a few days back.

Oddly, I was wearing 2 pieces of Incarnadine Devout, not Righteous, when I done it... :o

I am stuck behind a long line of scouts and fighters for DPS upgrading items, but I can't complain as I have been getting some nice healing upgrades. Will be interesting to see what the future holds when some more DPS gear is up for grabs.

Nice numbers as always Avirodar. I think the potential DPS for our class maxed out is about 4300 dps. Thats fully debuffed and maxed out abilities. With extra procs it may get to 4600. As for reaching 2k solo TFGoose my thought is do you debuff the mob w/ Condemned on the pull?? That adds appr 15% to your dps totals. Secondly do you use the Mastercrafted Str/Agi rings and the war mantle of Rallos?? These can add nice burst damage if the procs are up.

Wrong forum lol.
Sorry guys ;)

Yep, I definitely pull with Condemned every single time. However, I don't have the STR/AGI rings or the War Mantle, so there's another area to improve. 4300dps seems absolutely insane to me for our class though. That sounds like you pretty much have to be draped in Fabled/Mythical, am I right?

Just for the sake of a goal, what would you say is a solid, achievable, pre-raid DPS for us when soloing and grouping? I still feel like I'm coming up way under the mark here.
