Just use the “precursor” target dummy. Doubled my DPS lol

It doubled your DPS because its only 1/10th of the 3mil dummy fight. So you were DPSing for a much shorter period of time. Your DPS should be technically 10 times higher on the Precursor than on the 3mil dummy. So yeah, the 3mil dummy is already a VERY short fight, the Precursor, isn't even a proper fight.

Technically it should be the same, just over a shorter time. Instead of 180 seconds on the 3mil dummy it should be 18 seconds on the precursor

What is this precursor dummy? A large part of higher damage I see comes from execute range, so I can’t imagine it would help much making it shorter.

Yes and no. The shorter the fight, the higher the DPS. You'll never see a Stamblade doing over 50k DPS on the 6mil dummy, but seeing a 50k score on a 3mil dummy is almost a common sight by now. 300k health is massive burst damage. I doubt you even need to reapply your DoTs in order to finish the dummy. My parses on a Stamblade on the 3mil dummy last roughly 59-60 seconds. That means that my parses on the Precursor would last 6 seconds. Now obviously, it will be a little longer than that, but you get the idea. I'm sure that I could get to about 80k single target DPS on the Precursor, hell maybe even higher than that. I probably exaggerated with the 10 times higher DPS on the Precursor, but you get the idea.

The Precursor is a dummy obtained through a quest in the Clockwork City and it has 300k health.

A friend of mine got this precursor dummy, and I was messing around on it. I was trying different foods and stuff on my StamBlade....mainly Tristat and Magic Stam recovery...for thieves guild stuff. And some wonky skills you wouldn’t use for a regular DPS test.

Anyhow, same rotation with different food easily raised damage up 5k. I was somewhat shocked how much damage I lost on it using dubious. I like dubious, but damage loss on this small dummy is quite noticeable.
