Greetings guys,

Been in and outt he game ever since it came out. Was out of the game over a year, left a while after Horn of The Reach came out and just came out about a month now.

My main issue is, trying to adjust to the upscaleof DPS went...as anytime i come back. I simply try to find trick how to prperly execute the back bar bow, light attacks thingy.. i just can't achieve any better dps, i am watching videos, reading, but the back bar for me always seems ilusive to master... thing is, i'm maxed CP, using for now Alcast Rampage build mostly (https://alcasthq.com/eso-stamina-nightblade-build-for-pve/) though, i am slotting Incap. Strike on both bars instead of Flawless Dawnback on front bar, still workiong ont he gear, but i got to the point i am not sure if the issues is cradualy upgrading gear or simply, my player skills reaches it's limitation and i get « discouraged » not sure if the word here is properly used in english here, at the point i felt back in love with my healer. I am sure, any good player with my setup, though still upgrading, would pull way much more with it.

Average numbers (i mainly try on 3 million dummy now to save up some wpn dmg potions) goes around a steady 34-35k and finishes up around 39.xx-40.xxk's. Last night i went to give back a try, was keeping a steady 37,xxk and finished up at 44.5k. All solo self-buffed with wpn dmg pots, for now, using Throne's purple beverage, no one's help.

Gear is, without being preice cuz i am sure now, the issue is mainly the player and not entirely the gear. But here's a breiefly idea of my settings i have now which is still being upgraded and stuff neeed to be xmuted or changed for proper trait:

Monster set:
Testing out between Velidreth, Stormfist and Kre'g, but mainly Velidreth, all goldened out and divine and all pieces are medium.

Gear:
Using 5 pieces Relequen Armor (Normal CR set), Gloves and legs are divined goldened out while 3 other pieces are still purple and infused.

Jewls:
3 golden VO jewls, rings have bloodthirsty trait and the neck robust with all wpn dmg enchant

Main Hand:
VO Nirn Axe goldenned out with poison enchant

Offhand:
VO Precised Dagger goldenned out with absorb stam enchant

Back bar:
vMA bow, testing out between fee different trait, but all leads mostly to the same thing, but i thing the one i use now is infused or precise

Boon testing out between shadow, thief and lover for now, mainly using shadow.


So the question is, how you guys handle the back bar, i either try to LA too fast, so LA doesn'T come up cuz skill makes it instead, or i recast same skill... Rotation still gives me issue, i know i am skewing it up often and read back the build rotations .I'll try to watch more videos, but seems i can'T get better than average 40k on 3 mill dummy and 39-40k on 6 mill dummy, i did 2 runs with that toon in nAA, did about 44k on stone atro, 60k on the duplicating witch and 59k on last boss and i'm sure a good player with my setup would pull more.... Told myself i wouldn't go for the « try to achieve best numbers and gear » when i got back last month, but things is, you walways wanna perform.

My aiming seup is, fully divine normal releq, 2 golden Veiled Heritance rings and a purple neck (which i will golden out) with all bloodthirsty, and veiled Heritance daggers, nirn on main and sharpened on back bar... my wondering is, will i do better or my person skill will make me end up same numbers and i work hard *** to gather crystals and mats to upgrade those last elements....
I started to download PTS just to try it out, use all prefered setup and see how it goes, if i'd be pulling the same thing i'd know i am the issue...but download gave me issues so i gave up the plan.
