Might be a bit reluctant to drop dw on both bars and use bows, but will consider the option. Just not a fan of using the bow or destro staff.

Do you think mechanical would be better than spriggans for the build being attempted?
Thank you greatly for the feedback. This is very insightful. Going to sit down and play around with it this week to see what can be adjusted to make a better fit. Endless hail and Poison Injection were the exact two abilities that were being looked at last night in regards to this build.
The original reason for sprig was that everyone stated penetration is more important and to get it as close to 14k as possible. From what I am seeing here, you are stating that shackle and mech is better than focusing on getting that penetration up. Going to try a few different setups and test numbers to see how it comes out.
Okay, so 5 mechanical and 5 shackle. Do not have slimecraw yet as it requires doing veteran which cannot do currently with setup. Also keep in mind weapons are not nirnhoned yet as that trait is currently being researched. Only got 6100 dps. Put in light attack weaving and got to 7300 dps with no other changes. Do you think the bow will make enough difference in the dps? The plan is to start leveling that later today and unlock the abilities necessary for the changes discussed, and then retest.

Another thing to consider is changing Whirling Blades to Steel Tornado and replacing Bloodthirst with Shrouded Daggers for AoE situations and using Crushing Weapon in that slot for single target fights.

Which do you think would be better between shrouded daggers and haunting curse? Also, been working on the rotation based on the recommendation of someone else. Learned I wasn't doing the light weaving just right, and have actually increased speed quite a bit on it. Going to need to farm some more gold to keep changing things around until satisfied, or go farm more skill points.
Working on two different designs that will be tested when points and funds increase. The only real difference between them is the gear and type of gear. Assuming rotation is the same, which build do you think will be more beneficial for pursuing?

Hi. Just wanted to suggest an alternative gear set-up that I think will buff your stats and so also markedly increase your dps.
The ideal would be an argonian for the potion passive, with infused jewellery to reduce the cooldown on drinking a potion you will get lots of resources back every 21 seconds, and by alternating potions (trash pot stamina and magicka are ok of you are on a budget) you will have 100% uptime on the extra resource Regen buffs!
If you are argonian then wear 5 pieces of the clever alchemist set, this hugely buffs weapon and spell damage for 15 seconds, but you activate it every 21! This gives it much more up-time than mechanical acuity and much larger boosts than pelenials aptitude.
For the second set wear twice born star - this set is usually outclassed, but on a hybrid it is twice as powerful as you can increase weapon AND spell penetration AND weapon AND spell critical. Obviously all armor traits should be divine to max those 4 buffs. Make the jewellery for the twice born star set as it doesn't matter what quality it is.
And there you go, a hybrid with relatively good crit, penetration and damage, with incredible sustain. As a bonus you only need the 5 piece of clever alchemist on one weapon bar, so you can have an ability altering weapon or random two-piece on your other bar. Nifty.

Anyways. Stormfist, Master's Dagger, Maelstrom LStaff, Agil, Med Pelinals w/ Warrior Mundus was the highest DPS I was capable of producing - currently sits at around 28k on dummy.
Peli - TBS - Master's DW, Maelstrom LStaff w/ Warrior/Lover come in a very close 2nd. You can ditch Maelstrom + Masters for Peli weapons and Stormfist for a much simpler build to put together. Should net you respectable numbers.
Any reason you're not using Pelinal's for your hybrid?

Have been attempting to keep mag and sta even, so haven't really considered Pelinal's. Know of a good set combination using that one that would work better? If so, can test it out and see how it feels compared to the current config.
Been playing around with a few different configurations to see what to try next. What are the thoughts on this setup?

Just curious, but have you tried a Bow + Staff setup before? I am working on a Hybrid DK build that utilizes that weapon combo and am wondering how it might compare to your DW + Destro Staff setup.
