Hello fellow ESO players.
I would like some input from other DPSers out there as to how I can increase my DPS output. I'm running a CP 485 Nord Nightblade. I recently did a wholesale change on my toon from what was a completely gimped build, into my current build. But, my DPS output, while improved, is still not meeting my goals.
Relevant build details as follows:
Max Stamina 17202 / Max Health 26878 / Max Magicka 12120
Weapon Damage 2434
Weapon Critical 65.2%
Passives:
Dual Blades -- full points in all passives
Medium Armour -- full points in all passives
Wearing / Wielding:
Dual Blades -- 2 Daggers of Bahraha's Curse - this boosts Weap. Critical with the dual blades passive. Also, have Necklace of Bahraha's Curse, and two Bahara's Curse armor pieces for the 5-item proc (25% chance to create desecrated ground below the target damaging them for 850, and healing me for same amount). Each blade has gold disease damage enchantment, and poison damage enchantment respectively.
Briarheart armour - 5 pieces - giving a 10% chance to proc with a critical, increasing weapon damage by 449. With my crit rating, the proc pretty much always fires and is up much of the time. Also has a self-heal.
Two rings of Fasalla's Guile - no direct impact on damage or DPS, used for boost to HP. However, all jewelry have weapon damage enchantment.
All armour and weapons are gold, except the necklace which is purple.
Champion points:
50 points - Precise Strikes
36 points - Mighty
75 points - Melee Weapon Expert
Mundus Stone: Thief
I think I've covered off the relevant build details as they relate to DPS. My goal was weapon damage of 3000+ or more, and single-target DPS of 15-20K. With the Briarheart weapon damage proc I'm pretty much running weapon damage of 2900+ with the buff. Single target DPS is reliably in the 7-8K range (much improved from my gimped build, which struggled to hit 5K). No issues with AoE DPS, which reliably runs at 25-35K+ when in a group of mobs. It's just the single target DPS that I'm still finding wanting.
I know damage directly scales with Stamina, so I'm wondering if losing the Rings of Fasalla's Guile and wearing something to boost stamina would be the way to go. Also, I've considered dual wielding swords, instead of daggers. This would increase damage by 2.5% per sword, but my weapon crit rating would drop. Perhaps my current weapon crit is overkill and this would be a worthwhile sacrifice....would love some input on this.
In enjoy the self heals of Bahraha's Curse and Briarheart, and use these sets in large part because of the self heal damage mitigation. Am I sacrificing DPS as a result (by spurning other sets), and would I be wise to consider other sets in their place?
I use the LUI add on to monitor DPS.
That covers it I think. If I've missed anything, please ask. Thanks for reading, and thanks in advance for any and all responses.
Cheers.....
