4 years and I've been doing it wrong. Still can't get 10k DPS. :'(

✭I just ran 3 two minute tests using nothing but HA + Mages' Wrath + Power Surge and my average DPS is 4.5k. I have 38.2k Magicka, my spell damage (if staff doesn't use weapon damage stat) is 2156 and my spell crit is 48.2% (I see quite a few crit hits).
4.5k dps. This is ridiculous.
No wonder I keep dying. I'm hitting as hard as a fly into a window.
You're not using ground dots which is where most sorc dps comes from. Use liquid lightning, blockade of storm, reapply when the expire and in the meantime use your other skills. Mages wrath is just for the execute phase when the opponent is below 20% health.
As for gear you're not using a monster set! Use infused lightning staves with shock enchants (not nirnhoned). As for armour for beginning build use Julianos and Netches Touch (from darkshade caverns) Monster helm get Skoria from City of Ash 2, Illabris from Crypt of Hearts or Grothdarr set from Vaults of Madness
Make sure you have 75cp in thurmatage (for dot damage) and elemental expert and rest distribute as you see fit0
