help with damage output

Hey everyone, i'm looking for some help with damage output. I see videos about players achieving 20-30k dps. this is my build.

http://www.esohead.com/calculator/skills#1.moMz9s8bznn8bzjH8rFTF8jKer8ffkk8LxRi8TsCf8TrUs8dHkw8rrYM8wAly8jKEG8N7xNDu6bDG8p7NNkHY8T7NNRMA8j7zNUM8n7GNWU8x7CNsff8P7abdYw8U7aNrWe6NrXg8Y7VbfJu6NfJN8zV7zzeCp48zf7zzNbo8zu7zzHfYE6zHfZd8zG7zzHQ3F8zI7zzJIoX6zJIkL8zN7zzJZcY8zA7zzKpUN8zL7zzK4EX

I use 5 medium, 2 heavy. I use the warrior mundus, divines on 5 pieces (I don't divines on the 2 skoria pieces I have) and all my armor is gold. my weapon power is 4456. I have 3 piece agility jewlery each with v16 weapon damage enchants on it and 5 piece hundings rage. I dual wield one axe and one mace as my main weapons. I know I can get molag kena set, which I plan to work on. According to my tactical foundry add on I achieve between 10-13k dps. Is there anything else I can do to boost my damage output to get better dps. Anything you guys can suggest?

    High DPS builds usually involve a good amount of crit chance and crit damage. The higher the chance the more consistent the damage. Whats your crit like?

    It sits at about 49%. I crit on a consistent basis. I could switch my weapons from armor and spell piercing to critical chance but, as I critical so consistently I do think want to lose the armor piercing.

    You are missing some set bonus'. You are wearing 5 PC hundings and three PC agility but you have two more armor slots and two weapon slots which could be another 4 PC set right now until you get MK. A 4 PC Ashen Grip or Night Mothers would help with additional stats. Since you have the agility set at least pick up two endurance weapons or two night mothers weapons even if you hold off on the other armor.

    Your weapon damage is high enough but you need penetration and crit damage.

    First, duel wield two sharpened maces. Second change your mundus to Shadow (warrior up to about 50% crit, but then shadow is better). Make sure you have as many points as possible in Mighty in your Blue Champion tree and alt least 30 to unlock your crit bonus.

    Finally address your single target spam attack. I use surprise attack as a NB. Since you aren't I would say you should be using rapid strikes (Flurry Morph) and weave 1 light attack between each use.

    Last make sure you aren't over stacked in health and not enough stamina. 20k health and everything else in stamina, no magicka.

    Also if you are not using steel tornado, you are loosing out on the best AOE DPS in game.


    For me switching to two sharpened maces, the changing from Warrior to Shadow Mundus, then weaving my light attack after every surprise attack took me from 8K single target DPS to 15K single target. Also pull 20k to 40k area DPS on trash pulls with caltrops and steel tornado.

    Thanks for the tips, I actually am not missing armor set bonuses, I have the val skoria shoulders, and two ashen grip. I've played with some of the stuff you mentioned, I switched to the shadow (bonus to critical damage) and it helped, I'm getting about 15k consistent damage with sometimes spiking to as high as 19k. I spam puncturing sweeps as my single target. I tested it against rapid strikes and the single tsrget was higher, plus it gives the crit bonus. Thanks for the suggestions, esp night mother'said gaze, I'll stick that on the two pieces I have yet to upgrade to v16!
