Need help to break 45k on magdk. Tried 2 setups and got similar results.

1st setup was zaan, mothers sorrow, bsw, Vma staff and got 42,373 dps.

2nd set up was zaan, siroria, bsw, Vma staff and got 42,464 dps

Heres a link to a parse.

    Mundus?
    Food?
    Race?

    You definitely dropped your ultimate late, might as well start the parse with it.

    Btw that's the first time I've watched a MagDK parse in a long time, I wish every class looked as fun as that.

    Mundus was shadow with 1st setup and thief 2nd, i'm a khajiit, and im using witchmothers brew. Basically what i would use in dungeons, trials, etc.

    I was using my ultimate more for sustain really thats why it was at an awkward moment.

    VMA staff? If you are not using it, it will certainly bring you to 45k dps or higher.

    I don't have a lot of data to back this up, but I get the feeling that Mechanical Acuity is best on a magicka Khajiit. I play a lot of MagDK on a Khajiit and I've gotten the best results with Acuity, and I test most gear setups (Mother's Sorrow included).

    So 5 MA on body/rings and 5 BSW on Weapon, vMA fire staff and Zaan is most likely the best gear setup (that's not situational as Siroria or Spell Strategist). Right now I use one bloodthirsty but haven't tested with more.

    I use Shooting Star on front bar for the extra magicka, and only use standard. And channeled acceleration instead of trap. Otherwise pretty same.

    U drop ulti later on mag dks cause it restores resources and you want all your dots down cause it increases damage when the standard is down

    Mag dks have awful sustain

    Why haven't you tried Mother's sorrow, siroria, and Shadow mundus? To me that would be the best combo. High spell damage and high crit. I prefer BT, but not more than 1. Throw meteor on your front bar with all the passives for the extra Magicka.

    Edit: I missed that you said you don't have Mages guild or undaunted maxed. That should be your priority. You're missing out on free resources.

    Are you running staff on your backbar to? Amazing dps man! Would you be so kind and recommand any other (craftable or buyable ) sets instead of BSW?

    Molten whip won't be toned down? I mean this skill gives so much synergy to all the ardent flame skill line and to DK overall so it may become crazy powerful combo.

    @Mariusghost84 what do you mean staff on back bar? Like bsw staff? If so oh no im not lucky enough to get 2 bsw staffs lol. As far as front bar sets i think you can also run mother sorrow or spell strategist front bar.

    Im no expert just a casual trying to push my limits lol. For body you could do julianos, silks of the sun, probably even destruction mastery since 5th bonus got buffed.
