Console - DPS Test - Can you put out enough DPS for endgame content?

Toc de Malsvi

I will try to get my guild to do some runs on this, this weekend. I've been in groups as the tank but have not tested my personal guilds dps or my own.

I don't see why the numbers would change unless the difficulty of the content changed after thieves' guild. If you could have the DPS results in the original post and complete endgame content, you'll still be able to compete it, only faster. You're talking pass-fail so just because you can get something done faster, doesn't mean you can't do it at all.

I believe these DPS tests are misleading anyway. In this one particular instance, yes, under the best of circumstances, you can complete the 'test' in X amount of time. However, there are so many variables that can change that number, be it boss mechanics, round mechanics (ala vMaelstrom), or just having a terrible healer or tank which require the DPS to worry more about self-heals and other protection or become a puddle.

The only change to end-game content was the new trial which is a beast for the best of the best. So if you're looking for what DPS is required to compete that content, I'm not sure a baseline exists at this time until people who have actually completed the trial start posting their statistics and it's not even released on console yet.

Damn really wish I had a group to help me test me

Toc de Malsvi

Couple different test runs, Bosmer, DK, using 2H for Major Brutality and then Molten Weapons with bow HA, Poison Injection, Arrow Barrage, and Caltrops for dps, I used Meteor as my Ult.

Mage CP were 83 into mighty and 47 into Bow Expert. 5 set Hundings rage, 3 set agility, 1 molag kena, 2 nights silence, sharpened bow. (This is not a great build for dps just an adaptation from my pvp build so I won't have to change many morphs or champion points.)

I used tri-stat food, my stats with food buff:

Magicka: 16160
Health: 18853
Stamina: 31024
Magicka Recovery: 534
Health Recovery: 321
Stamina Recovery: 946
Weapon dmg: 3001
Weapon Crit: 50.8%

Took 136s which was lower than I hoped but really not as awful as it could be considering I didn't really change any morphs or CP from my pvp set or change from my pvp gear. Plus using HA primarily is weaker I believe. I plan on posting a couple more when I get the chance.

Full group buffs or?

swirve

Just took the test with a healer tank and no ultimate to start or group buffs. Dk dunmer did it in 95 secs. No monster helm and 300 odd cp. Getting under 80 secs will be a challenge.

Twin_Snakes5

Took the test last week on a Stam NB and did it in 78 seconds. 400 CP and with maelstrom weapons, 1 dagger 1 axe and bow all precise.

MidnightBlue

90 seconds on a stamblade first attempt. Not that good.

pelennor_fields

Breton templar - 501 cp - no group buffs - 65 seconds

I'll do another one and post tho I'm trying to get 49 seconds I just need to figure out how to yet two standards of might if I can or maybe just throw a meteor at the end? Idk

elium85

I doubt you'll be able to get two Standards. Why not a Dawnbreaker 2nd?

Probably about 4.6secs for bloodspawn with maelstrom weapons

Savage_Audacity

Khajiit nightblade stamina dual wield/bow 63 seconds is my current best time. That is without maelstrom weapons and not using ultimate. The only outside help i had was a healer without spc healing me, and a tank who only casted puncture and igneous weapons. (no warhorn, shards, etc.)

TARAFRAKA

Tested a lot of my guild this past week. Most hit numbers ranging from 70 to 80 for most which I was happy with. We used it to help people with their rotations and one guys knocked 25 seconds off his time just by weaving and applying his dots more consistenly.
I scored 65 seconds on my magblade, but I'm capped on CP points and I have the maelstrom inferno staff
Gear was 5 pc twice born
2 pc kena all divines
Thief and Shadow Mundus stones
Sharpened Fire Staff from VMA
3 pc arcane willpower + spell dmg enchants
All 64 into magicka

Can't tell if this is troll or not or you're saying I didn't get 55 secs? Lol I run with KORE on NA server ps4 they make you try out and are looking for sub 1 minute times on both magicka and stamina characters both times I tested 55 then 56 secs on my Stam dk Stam dk is really powerful with maelstrom weapons especially in db

M_TeK_9

How much physical resistance does the Bloodpsawn have exactly?

Tremors

We do this with no ultimate or buffs. Simply, puncture/ele drain and molten weapons. I pulled 58s full kill on my stamplar first go, we have stam builds getting mid 45s. Again, no ultimates, spc, etc.

M_TeK_9

The guys I run with do this with no outside buffs at all and Ultimate is permitted. Pierce armor from tank is the only outside influence. Everything else like dmg buffs, ele drain etc must come from the player taking the test.

65 seconds as a Stam DK bow/two handed.

Rjizzle09

Ill have to upload a video of my rotations but alot of plp post dark brother hood are getting 50 and below now i got mine lowered to 42 seconds on my stam dk using 5 viper and 5 vicious ophidian. KORE(guild i run with) is now going to use the attro in aetherian archive as our dps test now since blood spawn is killed much to fast now. I think the benchmark for killing it to dps for the guild is about 115 or so. My friend mightyhus got 40 seconds flat on his stam dk usimg 5 vicious 5 twice born but eventually ill be usimg 5 viper and 5 morag tong when they fix the viper set

Stannum

What's the problem for ZOS to make a training dummy to help players meter their DPS without tambourine dances?

42 secs stam dk
52 secs magplar

It's bad when you can't even tell what type of DPS you are based on your stats. I'm guessing you're a stamina build based on weapon damage. Well the first thing is your max stam is really low even un buffed, you can sacrifice some of your health for stamina since you'll get another 5k health.

Bobby_V_Rockit

After taking your advice, swapping out some gear for divines, robust jewellery and ability switch, my new stats are:

Magicka: 10662
Health: 25856
Stamina: 30271
Magicka Recovery: 624
Health Recovery: 538
Stamina Recovery: 1050
Weapon dmg: 3187
Weapon Crit: 36.6%

Cant be toooo bad, I have finished 8 of the 10 vet pledges (not vWGT or vICP) and normal maelstrom with my original stats, but yeah, feels much better sustaining dps output now.

Thanks again!
