    My first instincts were that this is a troll post. And after 4 pages, no specifics, lots of complaining about the horrors of light attack weaving, and zero input from the OP, my instinct have been confirmed. Just another thread where someone wants to turn ESO into a mindless button masher because they can't be bothered learning a rotation.

    And practice. :)

    I'm 52. It took a while for me, but that really is what it came down to in the end to get me there. A bit more practice and I found myself doing 30k using 2h/bow without pots. The biggest hurdle was getting the light attacks to actually land. I had to work hard at slowing down my LA>skill so that the LAs registered.

    ^^^ this I had the same issue. Took a lot of practice to get the timing right with LA. Before I was only getting 24k max dps. With no changes to my build and practicing the time of my LA to make sure they were hitting i'm now at 43k with my magplar.
    Now its just second nature to me but it is a learning curve for sure.

    Improved light attacks alone aren't going to contribute 19K to DPS. I suspect that the other issue is that unskilled players like me simply aren't firing off skills fast enough. Support for this guess is found in the fact that I consume less magicka in parses than people who get higher numbers seem to.

    It's all very different. At some point when you start to feel and understand this game you will do 30k in any trash sets while speaking on the phone in parallel. But before that you may sweat, concentrate and do only 15k.. so it's practice, analysis of parses, comparison of parses to top players ones to understand difference etc.. and practice practice practice. You need to kill hundreds of dummies to get a flow of rotation and how skills and LA's fire off in dependency to each other.

    Magplar, julianos seducer and slimecraw, gold weapons only, spamming darkflare and using empowered weaving from that, no DoT all, and you can get 20k on the 3mi dummy. Maybe a few heavy attacks here and there depending on your race. With shards and elemental blockade, I did 25k with a redguard magplar.... It's not hard for 20k. At all. Op troll, went away.

    20k+ DPS is all about build. I used to average around 25k DPS before I learned to weave (and before DPS was increased across the board).

    A few things to consider:

    - Max out your primary resource only (so either 64 points into stamina or 64 point into magicka)
    - Make sure your weapons have been upgraded to gold level
    - Make sure you're using decent sets, they don't need to be from dungeons/trials, but stuff like Julianos, Spinners, Mother' Sorrow, Spriggans, etc.
    - Pay attention to what enchantments you have (i.e. if youre magicka, then max magicka enchants on your gear, spell damage enchants on your jewellery, etc.)

    And then beyond that, it's just firing off skills in a logical order. You can use Action Duration Reminder, if you're on PC, to track your skill timers.

    These people don't want to invest in the time and resources needed to get better at the game. In terms of the crown store purchases and for the feel good times of 1 v xing and teaching new people the content I want people like him to be here... but... there are many 1+ year players who don't want LA nerfed and have rele (seriously took me two runs of normal to get a 5pc on the body it all and I wasn't even in game chat or anything... I could easily see that more than half the group had less than 20k dps and it didn't matter). BTW... Summerset literally comes free with the new chapter (you get warden, JC, Psjic, necro, PVE meta sets from an hour to two hour grind total, and all roleplaying zones for pve questers).

    Is there a UI add on which makes just the buffs appear in a more coherent arrangement? Becuase the way ESO does it by default is impossible to track. and I like the default UI aside from that.

    I find Action Duration Reminder a less intrusive addon than bigger UI modifications and it's great to track your skills. I personally can't track any buffs, debuffs or dots with the default tracking icons and I would never be able to play ESO on console for that reason.

    I can recommend just copying a mainsteam meta or slightly off-meta build from Alcast, Xynode, t3hasiangod etc., they have great videos explaining everything on youtube. Following those guidelines should make it easy (less than a week's practice) to reach more than 20k dps self-buffed. Although for reaching 20k DPS you don't need those builds - especially the gear! Alcast has two guides on his website for Magicka and Stamina DPS gear sets, you could just look those up and pick two of your choice.

    So, unless you're trying to push DLC or end game content, 20k dps is just fine. You should be able to sail right through all base game vet content. With the right team and some mechanical awareness, you could even pull off some vet DLC dungeons, although it would be more difficult and require some pretty intense coordination. It's a trade-off. You can either learn to hit harder (which is a hard-mode mini-game all its own) and experience easier content, or you can be satisfied with normal-ish dps and deal with more and harder mechanics. It's player's choice.

    Based on your responses in this thread, you don't seem very interested in actually bringing your dps up, but in bringing everyone else's down to your level. If you're not willing to truly examine your build and your skills, then be happy with what you're doing and play the content designed for players at your level.

    @OP

    If you’re weaving as you say, then the issue itsother aspects of you build.

    Are you using Thief or Shadow, Apprentice
    and Warrior work ok but will reduce the effectiveness of crit modifies?

    Are you using Max HP + Max stat + stat regen foods?

    Are your enchants and gear all at least Purple quality?

    Do you have enough methods of sustain to keep your rotation up? Even just using trash pots will help you a lot

    Do you have a rotation? That’s the big one

    Juli/Spinners for mag, replace Spinner with Burning Spellweave (from City of Ash) when you can, then run trials for the stronger sets

    Hunding’s/NMG for stam, eventually aim for Briarheart (from Wrothgar) to replace NMG until you feel comfortable with running trials
