GREATER DAMAGE
Joopman
✭
I am a DPS Imperial Dragon Knight, but I am kinda weak in group battles. I see others killing a lot quicker than I am killing.
What are some of the BEST ways to increase damage for my character?
Sorry . . . I left out the following IMPORTANT information:
TYPE - Group PVE
WEAPON - 2H GreatSword
ARMOR TYPE - I am using HEAVY head, chest, legs, shoulders and feet . . . AND . . . I am using LIGHT waist, and hands . . . All legendary with purple enhancements (mostly health and a couple of magics).
SET PIECES - Torug's Pact - 3 pieces (weapon, waist, and hands) . . . and . . . Song of Lamae - 5 pieces (head, chest, legs, shoulders, and feet) . . . and . . . 3 piece jewelry set - magic and magic generation.
SKILLS USED - Critical Rush - Unstable Flame - Flame Lash - Dizzying Swing - Green Dragon Blood - Standard of Might
THANKS

✭✭✭There isn't really enough information to go on;) What kind of build are you using? What type of armor, weapon, sets?
You can look up some great builds online, too, might be faster than finding advice here.0 -

I don't think those will help the DPS issue... Nailed it with the Animation Cancelling though. (Go to youtube and search it if you don't know what it is/how to execute it)
Check out Tamriel Foundries theorycrafting builds, and Reddit has some good builds too.

Govalon✭✭✭✭You might wan't to download addon that shows your DPS, the damage you are doing. That way you will know if you are improving or not when trying new things. You don't have to keep the addon enabled at all times. Just when you wan't to know your damage and when trying to improve.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭pvp or pve?
armor type? set pieces? skills used?
Best way to up your damage as a DK is to use light armor and synergize with the ardent flame passives and use a fire destrostaff.
You can be beastly with destro staff and 2h. This is great ultimate generation, gap closing, AOE damage, single target damage, survivability and execute.
PvP Change that to destro 1h+s and you lose the execute, but become nigh unkillable if you play it right.Tl;dr really weigh the fun you have in game vs the business practices you are supporting.0 -
Amsel_McKay✭✭✭✭✭If you are talking PVE and solo play your DPS does not matter if you are enjoying the game.
If you are group PVE or PVP your DPS will never be good enough, someone will always play more or have better DPS. This is a lesson learned from EQ 1999 - ESO 2014.1 -
Thechemicals✭✭✭✭✭You can improve your damage through clipping light and heavy attacks with skills. If done right, both will come out at the same time. If youve played other mmo's like aoc or dc universe and a couple others youll be somewhat familiar with clipping or "animation cancelling".
Beyond that, you need a rotation of skills that string together smoothly and an execute skill to finish the job(skills that do more damage when a player is low health). Gear sets and maximizing spell power, weapon power, or critical hit, helps too.Vr14 Templar since release- dual resto
