So...

Can someone tell me a build that get's this kind of damage? It's talked about here in the forums like it's common, but I'm sure not getting anything close to 30K DPS on a single target. I'm sure some of you have "secret" builds, but there must be one basic build that does this that I could just try it and see it with my own eyes? Any class, any build. Oh, and none of that VMA gear either. I don't have any of that stuff.

Heck, share with me a substandard 20K build. Even that would be an improvement for me.

This is pretty good.

I got some ok numbers using a version of it. Self buffed, just ele drain was provided.

Also there are lots of builds on Tamriel Foundry.

Edit: I didn't have any vMA gear for this

Is there an add-on for seeing total DPS?

Yes, it's called combat metrics. Also there are a few others, but Combat Metrics shows you the breakdown of what skills did what.

Depending on your cp, for endgame you should put all your cp's into your main attribute ( stamina for you). When you are at max cp you should have more than enough life.

Max meaning 600 right?

If you ask 20 people how DPS should be measured you will get 20 different answers.

For me, my DPS is me solo with only my own buffs/debuffs against a moving, hard hitting solo mob boss.

That's the baseline of what i can do solo while managing resources, dealing damage and avoiding getting hit.
It includes me having to damage/block/dodge/interrupt/heal/buff/debuff all without running out of resources and without dying.

Of course that above DPS number is no good for forum epeening since it isn't anywhere near the 30k+ single target people throw around here but to me it represents the actual game world.
Not some arbitrary DPS dummy that doesn't fight back or a dungeon boss that is constantly held aggro and debuffed by group mates.

I do use the target dummy, but i use it to refine my rotation and try out new combinations, not to impress other forumnites with unrealistic DPS numbers.

Agreed. This needs to be kept in mind. You may be able to do 30k + on the dummy, but that doesn't mean anything if you spend most of your time dead against a real target that fights back.

I agree, however it's worth pointing out that full trial groups WILL have a tank holding agro, a healer keeping you alive and phases which literally are "stand here and just pour out the dps" and for this situation those numbers DO reflect the real gaming environment.

These are 2 completely different situations and should not only have their own metrics but their own builds too. I do a lot of solo vet dungeon runs and my solo build "wastes" a lot of skill slots on keeping myself alive which i don't need if there is a healer in the group and I have way more mitigation than I need if I have someone else tanking for me.

How do you accurately record your dps? I mean do you judge it off your crit numbers? or tally up all the numbers on a rotation? My build is focused on DoTs, and I'm confused as to how I can judge my dps.

My rotation is:

Elemental Drain
Razor Traps
Refreshing Path
Elemental Blockade
Light Attack
Swallow Soul

I run 5 piece Julianos, 2 piece Skyoria, 3 piece Willpower (5L, 1M, 1H) All Gold except obvious Willpower. I'm working to get Melstrom or Master Lightning Staff and Resto.

I like my build, and it procs Skyoria a ton. With the Destro Ultimate included I feel my dps is good. However, I want to optimize it for VET MAW etc. Any suggestions guys?

The skeleton dummy gives a DPS report once you kill it, so thats probably a pretty accurate record.
