What kind of DPS numbers is everyone getting?

Strider_Roshin

I'm averaging around 26 - 27k on the PTS. Just curious what kind of numbers everyone else is getting

fericirea

27-29k self buffed and 30-34k in 4 group situations.

Turelus

What's the sustain on these, ie were you stable with these.

Mine was self buffed as well, I guess I'm not too far behind. I'm using a Nord Stamblade using a 2H.

5 TFS, 5 War Machine, 1 Master GS, 1 Maelstrom bow

Yeah pretty much. Heavy attack weaving on melee bar, light attack weaving on bow bar.

Just curious, since I haven't tried TFS with 2H, but are you able to keep 5 TFS stacks up constantly with a 2H build?

Thanks, will keep an eye on this thread as it's going to be interesting to see results. Hopefully we only get real answers.

Yeah why wouldn't I? I have so many DoTs going off it's hard not to.

I was just curious. I like playing around with 2H builds to see what I can get to be most competitive, but that was one set I hadn't tried yet. So thank you for saving me the time testing it.

If they ever make it so the 2H counts as a 2-piece I'll be able to wear a monster set, and finally be on par with DW.

What about timing? How long odes it take to get these results? Is it longer than before and if so, how much longer?

3 mil test dummy.

While posting the results are great, I'd make a couple suggestions/requests:

• Post your baseline build (at least stam/mag and class)
• Post your #'s without Maelstrom or Master's weapons in addition to with, as not everyone will have (live) access to those.

I'm just trying to figure it if I'm within ballpark of everyone else really. I'll leave the PvE build recommendations/alternatives to someone with a bit more free time as myself.

As far as me goes, I'm a Nord stamina Nightblade using a 2H and bow.

I didn't pick a superior race because I primarily PvP, but I also like to PvE; and my main is a Nord. I was merely trying to see what kind of numbers I can expect with my main when this expansion goes live. I'm also trying to gauge what kind of numbers will be considered competitive next update.

I was able to pull between 22-25k dps on an Imperial stam DK using 5 x Defiler (or 5 x Poisonous Serpent), 5 x TFS, Master's Greatsword, Maelstrom bow. Just an experimental build with a rotation I made up on the spot that certainly isn't ideal (self-buffed). Was going for a cleave/AoE/poison focused 2H heavy attack build. That's solo burning the 3m target skeleton. I also stacked 3 target skeletons together and was able to pull 15k dps on the other 2 skeletons without really adjusting anything in the rotation (LA weave bow DoTs, Heavy weave other DoTs on the front bar).

Will try to do better tests with my stamblade build tonight since we now have War Machine and I can come close to replicating my live build with 5 x TFS, 3 x War Machine, 2 x Kra'gh, Maelstrom weapons. I'm guessing based on my testing so far that I'll be able to get somewhere in the neighborhood of 30k+ DPS on that build now that we haver a Minor Slayer set and racial passives are active.

Will report back with parses and maybe videos as soon as I can.

Krileon

Magicka Warden with Skoria, Necropotence, Willpower. No maelstrom weapons. I was pulling 18k relatively easily. 20k if I try. I still don't have the rotation down. This is with self buffs only. Was able to sustain indefinitely as long as I had atronach mundus as that put me at 1.3k recovery, recovery from the netch, and elemental drain. My crit chance drops to like 42% though due to this, but I can't figure out how to sustain without it. Maybe sacrifice a spell damage glyph instead?

I imagine those who are better than me can pull way better numbers, but I'm a filthy casual and spam random crap instead of doing some super sweet rotation.

theamazingx

32k selfbuffed on a magdk after some fiddling, 3m dummy. Barely touched my cp and still adapting to heavies in the rotation, so there's a ways to go. I'd bet with optimization and practice it'll hit 35k or more.
