I am currently at 13-14k on target skeleton, but I am confused on how exactly people pull double that amount ! I am stam DK, currently using hundings rage and red mountain, I tried couple of more sets like spriggan and ravager and didn't see much of a difference. My weapons are gold sharpened, rest is purple. I am getting rest upgraded to gold, but I doubt that will affect dps much. I tried various monster helm, again not much difference, maybe 1-2k dps at most
I am using dw and bow, my rotation is just applying dots and spamming bloodthirst. I have both major brutality and savagery up from hidden blades and flames of oblivion, I apply poison injection, endless hail, noxious breath, venomous claw and flames of oblivion and then spam bloodthirst and reapply dots and majory brutality as they expire.

I have weapon damage enchant on one piece of jewelry, will try with 3, but I doubt that 320 wd will increase my dps by 15k In cp I put mage points into mighty, precise strikes and piercing.

I just don't see what exactly I can do to make such massive increase in dps, to double it ? If anybody can clarify how something like that is posible, and what I should do , that would be great

What mundus are you using? Are your weapons sharpened? What monster set? How are your cp points spread out?

Honestly I'd use thief mundus, and at least 1 dagger in your dw. I favor dw/axe. Spriggans is bomb. If sharp weapons give velidreth a go, I personally use kr'agh since one of my vma weapons is precise.

Do you reapply your dots after they expire? Or is your rotation optimized to apply your dots just before they expire. Light attack weave? Vicious ophidian or alkosh jewelry is a big deal, since it offers 5% more damage. Vma weapkns also make a big difference but you can/should be hitting 25k without them.

Another thing is you are using flying blade. I'm not gunna lie, this skill is fine for pretty much everything you do, esp in dungeons where fights are often short anyway. But when you're timing yourself for absolute best results and every second counts, using hidden blade is going to hit your score really hard. Use weapon power potions, this is esp true with using vma weapons.

A dps test is really unfair because you're not always going to be pulling these numbers. You can test for 40k and still be pulling 20 in many situations because there are alot of environmental priorities. Everything you see is a best case situation, if your test for a guild, they just want to see that you can maintain solid output when the stars align for it. In many cases you have to follow some level of mechanics limiting your dps a little, so those little moments when you can get some damage in is important that you have have a strong rotation in your musle memory. It is the difference between a nightmare run, and a fairly easy run.

Just remember, you are only testing the 'best case scenario, perfect world" dps. And that's also why people expect a good score for vet trials.

Best regards.

Weave

More dots, perfect rotation, weaving, animation cancelling, sharpened gold weapons, CP allocation and the go to sets will result in high numbers.
