I think the dps meters ppl have used for add-ones are in cases where ppl are doing aoe DMg.

Single target, unbuffed and no group member assistance changes things.

My dps is around 12.5k on the dummy but I'm almost done with VMSA so it seems correct

Another strange thing is that the tooltip damage for velocious curse (whatever it's called now) wasn't the same as the dps test. In my tooltip it's supposed to be 11k then another 11k after 8 seconds but the dps test said 6-7k.

Somethings off here.

It's not telling you how much damage you are doing.. it's telling you how much per second.

So for curse it would be 22k damage divided by however long the "fight" was.

Your first scenario does seem weird, but just wanted to be sure you weren't expecting your DPS to be 22k from one curse.

It has resistances

It's the only reason I have a house yet too expensive.

Add to that the fact that it takes up to 6 seconds to get out of combat too, so your dps will still be calculated even after you've sheathed your weapons and stopped attacking.

The dummy's health bar stays red for a few seconds after you stop but the test stops recording your dps as soon as you stop doing damage. Also as @NewBlacksmurf said the dummy has about 18k resistances which is about 25% mitigation if you have no spell pen.

Hitting the dummy with a single frags and nothing else will result in a high dps number because the fight was less than a second long and you did a lot of damage in that time. If I proc a frags out of combat and then start the test with a fully charged heavy attack, and then follow up with said frags and they both crit I can get 55k dps because I did 55k damage with a heavy attack and frags in 1 second. This is clearly not sustainable though, which is why proper dps tests last for several minutes.

3 million hit points

DPS: 18,695

Is what the in chat DPS meter said. Except 3 million divided 115 seconds is not 18,695 it's 26 K

right but im 99 percent sure there was an outside source contributing to damage on that dummy.

PC user here: when I've killed the dummy, the DPS number posted in chat has been identical to the number displayed in FTC (dps meter addon). So it's accurate outside of the limitations already mentioned (e.g. you have to kill the thing or you have several seconds of 0 damage factored in).

Thanks

It seems like I'm pulling some *** poor numbers after seeing what others have posted but I don't use proc sets or BIS so that's probably part of the problem. I'm also not setup to be a glass cannon because I play alone most of the time and need to survive.
The strange thing is I got the achievement for 1 million damage against the dummy after only 2 times attacking it for less then a minute each. The 3rd time I wanted to kill it and it took 6 minutes to take it out at full health.

Pump your spell pen up a bit. 5 spinners, sharpened fire staff and 50-60cp in spell erosion should do it. Assuming you're also in 7 light armour that should take you up to 17-18k spell pen which will get your damage numbers closer to your tootips. Force pulse and wall of elements hit with 4k extra spell pen anyway thanks to destro passive.

Also I've heared the target dummy with 3m hp has less spell resistance than the one with 6m hp, so you might be good with just 15k spell pen. Combine 5 spinners with something like 5 julianos/bsw/elegant etc and assuming your rotaion is good you should pull some decent numbers.

On a side note I wanted to say that I don't think the test keeps recording for a few seconds after you stop, negatively affecting score. If this were the case then it wouldn't be possible to get a 1s test, but it is.

That would be interesting because I was the only one there. I mean besides the dummy. Do they take atmospheric damage for being dead already?

I unloaded my rotation (a mix of aoe and direct attacks) in about 5 seconds then stood still for 5 seconds or more awaiting the result. It said 7400 dps, 12s
I then hit it with a normal casted crystal frag and it was 9000, 1s

The instant crystal frag attack was in my rotation so what's going on with the test results?

I get about 26k on my mag sorc but sometimes down to 19k. One thing you could do is get the dummy's health down do your rotations til it dies and look at the total. I kinda wish there was one with adjustable health or maybe like 50k health for a quick test and be like okay tweak this and set.
