Holy Necro, Batman!

LMAO at my 1.5 year old post talking about how Magplars were topping DPS charts in trials. Oh how times of change.

Is this with a food buff active? If so, 27508 max stam is quite low. You should bit sitting at ~30k without food, and ~35k with food. For instance, the stam blade build I plan on building would have ~36.8k max stam. That right there would be a decent amount of lost damage, since attacks scale with max stam at roughly a 1:10.5 ratio of weapon damage to max stam. So 10.5 stam is equal to 1 weapon damage. You've effectively lost 887 weapon damage there.

Speaking of weapon damage, that is also quite low. Very low, actually. My stam sorc without Major Brutality sits at a good 3400 weapon damage. You should easily be hitting 2500-ish. What are the glyphs on your jewelry? Are any of them weapon damage? Generally meta builds run 3 weapon damage glyphs, but you could get away with 2 weapon damage glyphs & 1 stamina recovery / cost reduction glyph, if you can't sustain properly.

61.1% crit is good, so is the 5761 physical pen for now. That physical pen would be fine in solo play, since Major Fracture from Surprise Attack would add another 5.2k physical pen, pushing you up to ~10k. If you add Spriggan's, that'll push you to ~13-14k, and Twice Fanged up to 15k, which is really good. In group play, you'd want more physical pen to push you more towards the penetration cap. Again, Spriggan's would give you another 3-4k, with Twice Fanged giving you another 5k as an upgrade to Spriggan's, which would put you at 15k in a group. Tank would generally run a crushing glyph to debuff the boss, and so would add another 1.5k on top, pushing you to 16.5k, then other stamina damage dealers might run sets like Sunderflame or NMG to further add another 2k, actually pushing you over pen cap. Then throw in stamina Templar's Power of the Light, which applies Minor Fracture, adding ANOTHER I think 2k.

You might want to look into swapping to the Warrior mundus. Shadow I believe is only good for > 70% crit chance, and so Warrior would do better at 61.1%, and would help with the lack of weapon damage.

And no problem! Happy to help!
