You said you have weapon damage glyphs on accessories . I will just assume you meant Spell Damage .

Shield on front bar is not that effective , put it on your back bar . On skeleton test , you don't need a shield but being realistic is always good .

Use Elemental Drain instead of Radiant Aura . It will reduce the Spell Resistance of skeleton a lot and will give you a lot more DPS . If you can have a friend use it for you , that's even better . It is not your job to do in trials . Healers will use it for you .

I think all Magicka DPS players should start with Innerlight to get Empower to boost their first attack . It is free DPS after all . Especially if you are starting with a Destro Heavy , which you do .

Rearming Trap is also a great boost to DPS . Elemental Blockade and Rearming Trap should be always up , even in execute .

Make sure you have all passives unlocked that is related to DPS . Especially Medicinal Use .

You can put away that Health enchant . In trials , you will have Ebon Armory from tank and 10% more Health from Warhorn . Should be more than enough .

If your animation cancelling is on point and you apply what I suggested , you will see 30k+ easily . As your CP gets to max , you should be pulling 35k+ at least . If you have magicka issues , get 2 friends with you . One of them throws blue orbs and the other one uses synergy . If you don't have this support available , use Channeled Focus for Magicka sustain .

Don't forget to use an addon to keep your DoTs up with as much uptime as possible if you are playing on PC .

Afternoon,

Currently struggling to understand how to improve DPS and rotation with my MagPlar setup.
At the moment I can pull 20K DPS as standard.

I want to state that i am currently 460CP, High Elf, Thief Mundus
CP : Cost reduction, Magicka regen/Physical resist, Spell resist/ Elemental dmg, Dot dmg.

My current gear setup is : 5pc BSW (all gold divines/2 body/3 accessory) 5pc Julianos (all gold, all divines. 3 body/2 swords sharpened) Grothdarr 2 pc ( gold divines, heavy head, medium shoulders, all divines). Finally I use a standard non set gold inferno staff sharpened.

I use essence of spell power potions. All magicka glyphs bar 1 for health to put me at 18k HP. I utilize wep dmg glyphs on accessories and spell & wep power glyphs on my staff and sword 1, sword two uses a flame dmg glyph.

My current stats are: 41k Magicka/ 18.1k HP/ 9.9K Stam.


Skills: Front bar (DW) Puncturing Sweep, Reflective Light, Harness Magicka, Inner Light, Radiant Oppression. ULT: Shooting Star.
Back Bar: (Inferno Staff) Cleansing Ritual, Blazing Spear, Elemental Block, Inner Light, Radiant Aura. Ult: Elemental Rage.

My rotation usually goes:
Charge heavy > BlazingSpears > Light attack > Blockade >Light attack > Cleansing Rit > Radiant Aura > Bar swap. Reflective Light > Light attack > Jabsx2 (or 3 depending on blockade timer) Rinse and repeat. Calling shooting during bosses (casting Inner Light before ult for buff) I also make a habbit of only executing when boss is below 30% if i have above 70% Magicka, if not i save it for 5%. i drop off all buff maintenance at around 20% to focus executes.

My question is: What the hell am i doing wrong? I have completed almost all trials on vet, done VMA etc etc etc. But I just push higher dps. I animation cancel almost every ability. I animation cancel every light attack via casting said abilities. What am i missing?

ANY help is much appreciated

Thank you for reading.

Have you done these tests with someone applying elemental Drain? The 5,280 decrease in Spell Resistance is absolutely crucial and you get better sustain. Also, I've noticed you don't use Rearming Trap. Have someone apply Elemental Drain, and replace Radiant Aura with Rearming Trap!
