Is this rotation frowned upon? If so, I'm unaware and would be confused why. It is great DPS.

No, you actually have a Rotation. Its when people rely on one or two skills only is when they get into trouble in challenging content.

Every once in awhile you see someone spamming WB in dungeons. Always in PvP.

Bruh WB hits hard mine do 20k lol.

Ran COH last night with a random dps took him 7seconds to kill a half dead ad his response was you're trash bro I have 3300 spell damage unbuffed. A lot of console players are bad no dots. It's either sorc overload or WB/SA spam.if it wasn't for my pals in the group carrying him we would have never finished.

And I thought everyone on console copy and pasted PC YouTube builds since we are driving in the dark on meaningful information to improve performance.

I'm sure you're all nice people but the smugness coming out of this thread is quite pungent. It never ceases to amaze me how toxic PVE only dungeon runners are for the entire community.

Oh, you don't have 50,000 DPS and Molag Kena's jock strap equipped with the light of truth buff and the empowering wizard shield of doom? You must be a PVP only newb ganker! Be off with you! Ok, whose ready to run this dungeon for the 764th time? It'll really show everyone how good we are!

Not just true, Sofa King true!

My experience:
Needed a DD for a pledge and this guy, a Nightblade (of course) approaches and says "bro my wepon dameg is 4.8k" and sends me a screenshot, and I'm like okay. He's obviously in stealth to get the Master Assassin buff, but I guess I never knew that you could perma-stealth during boss fights to get that buff. During the dungeon, what's his only move? Surprise Attack. Absolutely nothing else, no DoTs, no Caltrops, no Volley, no Twin Slashes, nothing. Ended up kicking him after 2 wipes and group queued another person to finish it.

you are elitist and you're ruining this game

Ok but let's take a look at your signature

That's ok. Tanking doesn't require high deeps.

I wish we had damage numbers on console.

I wish we had a combat recap log so everyone can see just how crap they really are!!

LadyNalcarya · March 2016

Actually it happens on pc as well.
-My dps is so awesome!
-How much can you pull?
-Well, I dont have dps addon but I have 4k weapon dmg!

And this goes to show why knowing peoples gear and stats indicates nothing about how well someone plays the game.

This.^
Everyone can copy a meta build, since most of gear is crafted/buyable. But having high stats doesnt mean anything if the person has no idea how to play their character.

DRXHarbinger · March 2016

Is anyone surprised after looking at these forums and they are full of QQ threads complaining over WB spam owning them? Surely for a noob that gives off the impression all they need to do is lash at one key?

The_Lex · March 2016

All this talk about rotation has got me thinking about what I use. I have a V3 Mag Sorc, 5 Julianos, 3 Torug's Pact. I don't have Nerien'eth or Kena - I haven't found a group willing to take a lowbie like me to run these dungeons yet. Anyway, here's my rotation:

Power Surge> Boundless Storm > Liquid Lightning > LA/Force Pulse weave > LA/Force Pulse weave > MA > Crystal Frags when proccs > reapply Liquid Lightning > rinse and repeat.

When soloing world bosses, I'll substitute Boundless Storm for Hardened Ward or Harness Magicka, depending on the boss.

How does this rotation seem?

The Uninvited · March 2016

That's a solid standard Sorc rotation @The_Patriarch

If you've got the gold (100k) or AP (200k), you can grab your V16 Kena shoulders right now. Then it would just be helmet farming when you're at level... assuming you don't grab the Kena helm before then.

Kammakazi · August 2016

I've recently come across many players who actually believe that High Weapon Damage = Good Stamina DPS...

Sigh, when will they realize that that is not the case.

Probably a PVP ganker thinking he knows all. Although weave and sup attack is probably the best dps you need to chuck out barrage and or caltrops at the same time and stay in it. I'd bet 100k gold at 25% health the boss would just get a good old shanking from killers blade over and over lol. Was this fungal grotto yesterday?
