    [Ok but set E and F using skills Z and G does the same damage. This is also math

    Could you please provide the sets and the math then?

    Around here we need proof in our pudding because we've done tha math

    In the meantime a great example outside of myself is to compare Alcast's StamDK to the one from Xynode Gaming on youtube (the infused stamdk advanced build). Completely different gear, CP, and skills are mostly different

    Which one? I have 15 characters.

    A simple video of any of your 50k DPS characters would do. Pick one, give a gear over view, and skill over view, and a few parses.

    If you started this thread with this in the original post, I think the replies would be much different.

    I don't think so. I have shown my combat metrics to people who still acted very rudely

    I'd attribute that to them just being jerks.

    One thing I'd like to point out about Alcast. He provides several examples of gear sets that will do well. It seems that some people only look at the first one, and roll with that, but he tends to give many examples and combinations that will perform well. I think people tend to skip that detail.

    They do indeed which is where the "You must have Relequen + Yokeda and be a redguard only to even be considered a decent dps" and "You must have Spell Strat + Siroria and be a high/dark elf only to even be considered a decent dps" stuff comes from

    Yeah Alcast goes out of his way to accommodate all kind of players (skilled, unskilled, low CP, max CP, etc) with his builds and people here still like to refer to him as some sort of an elitist monster. It's really dumb.

    and you are being elitist about it. You do not see top players calling out other top players like this. Alcast certainly does not pat himself on the back either..

    Actually I see "top" players that are great and cool/respectful such as Alcast and others, but I also see "top" players who are rude and overly elitist shouting useless rude comments in chat and on the forums.

    Those that are top players, it is very rare they call out others in the forums because they got into a disagreement with someone as this thread seems to be. Top players generally let the results speak for themselves. They are also more likely to help someone else out than create a thread like this.

    Tell that to the people in my DMs

    Your dungeon masters? I assume raid leaders is what you mean and that would be a guild issue. A good raid leader does not care about your build, only results.

    No people who I personally run with are good people. I also lead raids once a week.

    Then the idea of this thread makes even less sense.

    .... literally every single set you listed here is mathematically inferior to the meta sets. Like, if you're doing 50k dps solo with these sets (which I doubt) you'll be doing a lot more than 50k with an alcast build.

    What a dumb thread.

    Indeed! I personally think he is a great resource, and quite considerate to different levels of players.

    There is also the detail that when he is posting these Vet Trails builds, they are built with the mindset that the entire group will be going with builds that compliment each other. It assumes that all major and minor buffs will be provided to the whole group. If you run with players who aren't optimized in such a way, your numbers won't be as great as expected.

    Adjustments need to be made at times to accommodate the fact that other's who are expected to provide certain buffs, might not be doing so since they aren't using such a build.

    What I didn't include was CP, skills, passives, monster set, or even Mundus. Those i'd have to actually look at my stuff to remember. But its only mathematically inferior if you are using the meta for cp, skills, etc. And yes, the "meta" might be capable of 60k territory but I don't think people's fingers move fast enough for that kind of intense rotationing.

    Some gear, skill and rotation combinations will always perform highest DPS, that's why they are the meta. Pure math. Do you hate science as well?

    I agree, however there isn't just one combination that equates to maximum damage. There are many ways to get the same result.

    The "elitism" comes from people expecting and demanding you get that result, and if you dont, proceed to throw words like noob and trash and uninstall. My Stamblade does a decent 32.6k parse self buffed. My Stamsorc, a meager 25k. I dont care much about getting the trial gear or changing my rotation to get those numbers higher, so i guess that makes me casual trash.

    My only opinion on the matter; play what you feel is most comfortable. If people get on your case for not being meta, find likeminded folks to play with instead!

    Both sides of the coin have merits.

    Meta users - they want fastest and most efficient runs, can't blame them.
    Non meta users - they want to use what they want and theorycraft, can't blame them.

    Meta rage problems are mostly sorted out best by pairing up with people with the same prerogatives.

    I'm really not trying to put you down or argue with you. I'm very sorry if I am coming across like that. It is not my intent.

    But 50K is now the normal.

    60K+ is top dps with murkmire.

    I mean no offence. I only point you to the math.

    You will need certain sets and skills to achieve 65K.

    My dps is the same 50k as yours with non-meta

    [Alcast has good builds, they are a great base to build on. However, they are not the end all one true build answers.]
    ESO is all about numbers, I'm curious how you come to the conclusion that a lesser build will perform better in "some cases" because it doesn't work like that lol.

    Right?

    Most everyone I know and play with on ps4na pull 50k+.

    This is my best below and I'm not very good.

    I'm sorry but your cookie cutter builds aren't impressive. So don't talk elitism to me when half of you have no idea "why" the cookie cutter builds work in the first place. Yes, non-meta builds can hit just as high numbers and in some cases higher, so quit quoting Alcast like he's the one true god of DPS and act like a respectable human being for once. Open minds are richer and have more fun!

    A lesser build that does the same damage? I'm sorry I didn't know Relequen made you a tank also?
    I don't think you understood what I said

    But if you put the same player in say a min/max set up and then put him in a non min/max set up like you are saying in your OP
    Yes, non-meta builds can hit just as high numbers and in some cases higher
    it doesn't work like that because the min/max set up will always perform better results for that person. So with that, I have to ask you, why wouldn't you run something that gives you better results, is it just because you don't want to and you want to prove a point, I genuinely want to understand why you would go out of your way to run something that would not give you as good results.

    Those players who are using Alcasts builds, who knows what build they're using but I'll assume it will be one of the top tier ones etc, why would those people be in the wrong when the builds he is providing are the go to and proven to work most efficiently and optimally (I'm assuming the normal top tier ones).

    Cause to be fair this just comes off as you are the one acting elitist here while other players are trying to get the best results with the best gear set ups.

    OP on console. Calling it now. They all quote alcast over there. Its adorable

    Never heard of him and I play on console. I make my own builds even though they’re not great.

    What is it with the Red Mountain set that brings out the gear rage types?
