Need help trying to reach 60k dps with Magicka Necromancer

Mr_Madness

So want to be involved in vet trials so I can get some perfected gear but I am struggling to reach 20k dps and most people need dps at 60k.

Using Ilambris, Mothers sorrow, and Scathing mage but so far no real change.

If someone could help me it would be super awesome!

Okay, let's guide you through parsing to try and get you to that 60k!

Step One - Before the Parse
1. Ensure you have the correct food buff. As a Magicka user, you want Ghastly Eye Bowl (+mag +mag regen). This will provide you with the most efficient form of damage buff. Witchmother's brew might be what you use in the trial, but The eye bowl is what you use to parse.
2. Ensure you use potions. +Mag +Spell Dmg +Spell Crit are going to be used, because while parsing every GCD counts. Again, in trials you might use buffs like Degeneration but when parsing, chug pots.
3. Check your sustain. During a parse you're going to be using potions on cooldown and you get undaunted synergy coupled with the regen from the templar ability the dummy spits out (spear shards). If your sustain is too high, switch some glyphs to spell damage. If you EVER have to heavy attack, switch to more sustain!
4. Set your bar. On your bar you will often run ways to get major sorcery and prophecy. On a parse, you're going to pot 24/7 so remove them and replace with more DoTs if you can. (remember the dot needs to produce more damage than your spammable).

Step Two - During the Fight
1. Make sure you're fighting the right dummy! The 21m trial dummy offers many many many MANY buffs that make a huge difference when you parse. Ensure you fight a 21m dummy only. And ensure it's at full health for the parse.
2. Fill your resources. Since you're not using Bahsei (which requires low magicka for more damage) you don't have to waste it, but there's a resource well that can fill your resources, including ultimate, to begin a parse so you can open with colossus (or whatever you use.)
3. Go over in your head the opener. Getting the opener right can mean the difference between starting on 30k and starting on 55k so be sure to get this right. Hit your pre-cast abilities (I believe you can blastbones before combat like I would with Sub Ass on warden and it wont begin the timer) and then time your first ability to hit as it goes off (meaning your opener is potion > blastbones > wait 2 seconds > unstable wall > blastbones.
4. Practice light attack weaving and after each parse, check if you produced as many skills used as you did light attacks. Also check your weaving number is below 0.15 (it takes practice to be at 0.1 and a lot to get down to 0.05) 0.15 means you're using a skill every 1.15 seconds instead of 1 second and means you're losing about 14% damage. At 0.1 it's 9% damage lost)

Step Three - After the Fight
1. Examine how much damage your DoTs are pulling. Are they good? Are they bad? Should you find better ones?
2. Check your stats to see which abilities are a priority and which are not. dots fall off at different times so knowing the order to re-apply is very important.

Hopefully you can find a way to get those numbers up and get into vet runs!

I would hold off until next combat update.

Do you have access to any trial sets by anychance (even non perfected)? what weapons are you using?
if you'd like I could post a SS of my Magcro setup from last patch... just shy of 130k... (same thing im still running).

Also, what platform are you on? If you are on NA PC I can send u a friend request and help out in game as well....On PtS I have a slightly different skill layout (not by much) but getting 114k there

this is my current bar,set, and cp setup

I wont be home from work for another 8 hours, but if you want, my ingame @ name is @ Wolf_z13 (without the space between the @ and w) feel free to send a friend request and i can go over things a little more indepth with you... Also, using 2 Destro staves instead of dw and 2h GS wont be TOO much of a difference (prob a few k dps)
