I am no - super pro on my necro by no means. but i have the same gear, CP, passives, buffs and rotation, nothings has changed on the "User" end. I have always used Combat Matrix to Guage the performance.

All that out of the way i have noticed a Severe Drop in DPS. Just a few months ago I was Averaging between 70-80k on the dummy, my old guild left for New World the others for Lost ark.
so i just been questing and dungeon farming until i found a new home.

Now im back in doing content again i cannot push past 50-60k DPS even with gear swaps the Damage per spell goes up a little but not to the point it was doing with the exact same setups. Not sure if something i use has been "Ninja Nerfed" or what. To me that seem Very Significant of a drop to be from just one thing, or another has to be something that globally effects all of the skills. I have done everything but delete the Character and start over. From swapping sets, Builds, Full Reset on the entire character. Im still Capped at around 60k dps.

Any idea'S could it just be an issue with Combat Matrix itself. I just don't understand how each and every skill has decreased by that much damage, thats alot considering how that 10k-20k is "averaged" per second.

    Make sure it's updated.

    There've been a couple patches recently but I don't remember anything major about Necromancers.

    What time period are you talking about though? November was the last major patch which affected a bunch of sets. https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/590109/pc-mac-patch-notes-v7-2-5-deadlands-update-32

    Also a new hard cap on crit damage which certainly impacted some builds.

    Check if your cp, attributes and passives are reset.

    If not, maybe post gear sets and skills to help finding out what could have changed?

    Fenwitty is right, they capped crit damage to 125% so if you exceed 75% bonus crit damage you don’t increase your dps.

    Thanks for the response.
    As it seems i have an average of about 5k dps loss on my DD Spells, and about a 1-2k loss per dot.
    here are stats.

    For example my Blastbones was hitting around 60-80k per hit for an average of around 15-20k dps.
    Now its hitting for around 55-65k per hit for an average of 12-15k dps. and thats one spell. same shift seems to be across the board.
    Talking about Crit its around the same as its always been between 60-70 during combat but i noticed that my main spamable "Blastbones" Crits Alot Less than it used too. Then it was hitting around 70-80% crits now its sitting at 50-60% and i don't know why....did they nerf RNG as well? (So Sick of Nerfs)


    This is what my parses looks like as far as stats, I think these are not super great but they are not in a bad place.
    In combat stats.
    Stats Effective Max
    Spelldamage -6000 6800
    Crit Chance: - 60 68
    Crit Damage: - 118 121
    Penetration: 18200 28000
    Overpen 100%

    Spell Crits seem to be 60-70% average across most spells. I tried double Crit sets to raise my crit and dps stayed close to the same on the Trail Test Dummy as when i use a Spell Damage Set (Diamonds Victory=Blastbones Double Proc=100%uptime).
    Note: i did notice that My ultimate's and boneyard does not crit hardly at all.
    being a necro that has no Self Buffs and nerfed crit phase passive, my crits are really low compared to other class's i play. but i was always able to compensate damage with dot stacks

    I use spell pots and have a 99% uptime on Sorcery and Prophecy
    Minor force had a 97% uptime, Kinra's was up 99%
    The only things that had low uptime was reusable parts passive, but thats always been the case.

    I did swap out of Shadow to Thief Prior because of the nerf to C Damage.

    as far as sets im trying to parse without a Mythic set, so im running Meta Kinra's, Maelstrom staff, with Mothers sorrow. i have tested with Diamonds Victory, Medusa sets because i don't have the rockgrove set yet and they all seem to yield close to the same results. some pieces i got an extra 1-2k more out of it.

    The only way i could break out past 65k dps is with a vampire "Frenzy" setup, then i was still only able to get 72k out of and that solo (Pale order Ring) build used to push around 100k single target
