That's single target parses, it would be much more interesting to see waht the ZW was.

What are you guys doing to parse 1k-2k just from auto attack damage? I don't even come close to those numbers and I'm clicking like crazy through my spells/CAs which limits my auto attacks horribly. In a mage group I can parse 1.8k to 2.5k through the T3 content I've seen, in the other groups I top out at 1.9k give or take a lucky crit streak. My auto attack damage is maybe 500-600 of that DPS... Mythical and a fabled slasher really isn't going to make THAT big of a difference on auto attacks, is it?

I run with Epic Fabled and the Tyranasaus Tooth until something better comes along.

I've focused on a lot of spell crit gear, melee crit is around 20% w/out pots, spell crit 35%. Granted my STR is only 480 or so due to choosing Int adorns and self buffed Int running around 900, 1.1k in a mage group. Self haste is 50% Plus, not much available for DPS mods, DA is around 15 (no access to exact in-game stats)

AA's, been running Rythm Blade, 8 AA into haste, Fortissimo, DKTM, Allegro - Troub Tree its Harmonization, Resonance and I forget the last - but its not the debuff one.

Any advice, hints, etc would be appreciated.

You kinda listed the reasons for low auto-attack dps yourself. Relatively low double-attack (probably won't get better anytime soon) and melee crit. Both will make your auto-attack dps shine, as they synergize. Also with 480 STR you're way below the point where diminishing returns really kicks in.

I'd guess that for most of the parses of people here they'll sit at 35%+ melee crit, 25+ DA, 20-25% spell crit, 30+ dps mod, 70+ haste, 850+ STR and possibly +400 CA/spell damage modifier, and that is self buffed with no procs up.
I think the gear difference has a significant impact here.

Because the bigger part of high end the dps gear suitable to a Troub is leaning towards melee again, I guess the best advice would be to do something about that STR of yours. If you're at 1100 INT, don't hesitate to sacrifice that a little bit if you can get it back in STR.

I started focusing a lot more on melee once my guild got their mythicals.

aye ive had mine just hadnt gone towards melee for some reason.. lol

i switched in some more melee gear today for an instance and my dps went up some, so i think ill head in that direction

Looks like I'll do some work on getting more melee friendly gear compared to caster equipment with a bit more focus on STR now. I recall reading somewhere that spell crit was a good way to go pre raid equipment but I guess top end raiders have to swap back to the melee side a bit more to get those big parses I've seen posted.

Any suggestions on what gear would help the transition? I have the bloodthirsty choker, not adorned yet -- suppose the DPS from adorn would help there. Beyond that I can't think of too many DPS mods or DA items available minus say cardiocutter from CoA and the Boots from the JW named as ways to increase DA much.
