OP, can you record a video of your rotation (or at least post a combat metrics screenshot)? Then you can get more specific advice.

Dps tests on a dummy don't mean anything. Because you can build for singletarget damage or aoe and dot. You should have both btw, for bossfights vs. trash for example. If you deal more than 10k you are already above average dds.
Just to compare: My Sorc Tank deals most of the time 20% (10% for a tank should be normal) of group damage with 10k dps max, I focus on crit+aoe to heal myself. My Templar Healer 50% and he has 2 aoe, 2 dot, 1 direct damage skill, and a lot of heavy attacks. Most of the damageskills are there to buff group: shards, wall of elements with shockstaff to grant off-balance, I use the ranged interrupt from destrostaff skills, to help avoid damage. Only rarely when the dds are actually doing a good job I'm at 25% group damage.

Before you start the parse, put the eledrain on the dummy. Gulp spell pot, drop storm atro.
Light Attack - Liquid Lightning - Light Attack - Blockade - Light Attack, Daedric Prey (animation cancel to front bar)
Light Attack - Force Pulse (x3) if frag procs, use it asap, bar swap, repeat.
Apply daedric prey upon explosion, gulp pot on cooldown, drop atro as soon as available. Maybe every second or third rotation, reapply ele drain.
If there is someone else to ele drain for you, you can simply skip that and use bound aegis on back bar as well or some other skill.
As soon as dummy hits 20 percent, execute with mages wrath.
P.s, jewelry with spell damage, Infused or Bloodthirsty.
Well, I understand why top players are doing all this cheesy things, it's important to grab max possible numbers. But if person parses for personal use, i.e. just to do their job in dps role, what's the point of drinking potion before the parse and other similar things? I'll say OP should start with simple things like keeping up self-buffs, main dots and LA weaving, find balance between sustain, spammable and damage and only after when all that is working with good efficiency (75%+ light attacks weaved, 90%+ dots and buffs uptime), he may start thinking about different tricks.

Installed Combat Metric today, but can't make a head or tail of it. What addon can I use to check how much damage I'm doing in percents? And what percent should a DD do?
UPD: I tired to kill my Skeleton. It took 3 minutes 4 seconds, and result is 16364 DPS. I want to uninstall this game. So much efforts during recent months, and all useless...
Cute. Already at around Champion Level 700, but nice try nonetheless.DjMuscleboy02 wrote: »I understand the sentiment and message, and I appreciate it. I don't trust other players, only ones I can definitely trust are myself and my girlfriend. I'll figure things out by myself.
Looks like that approach is working out great for you man. Keep trucking along and maybe one day you'll catch up to cp 100s!How about me? I've been killing skeletons for months, using different skills, attacking and quickly using a skill when I hear the distinct "clank" that the skeleton makes, even switched to a two-hander (As it turns out oddly enough, I do more DPS with a two-hander than I do with dual-wielding), and all I can muster at most is 17 to 18k. My damage only improved by 2k from 15k when I went Stamina from Magicka on my Dragon Knight, and roughly 1k after switching to a two-hander.
What does that say about me, who has been hitting a skeleton for months and has noticed no significant improvement?
And no, I refuse to give websites the time of day, considering they're so horribly designed, that I feel actual physical pain trying to read through them.
It feels unsatisfying. Only good being a tank does is that I get to stay alive longer, but killing things takes forever. But it's a better altermative than have fallic object people give me crap for not doing 100k DPS with one ability.LeagueTroll wrote: »And you sound like a jackass and are intentionally misrepresenting my points with a childish demeanor.Here's how my experience was when I checked Alcast:SaintSubwayy wrote: »How about me?

Don't give up man. Just keep practicing!

well the refusal to check out builds and parses on websites says something about you.
namel< that you are to , lets say lazy, to check out other peoples approach tho wthis problem, and the ignoreance to accept help by viewing vids etc.
you accept help, in your case the tips to keep pratiticing, if they are brought up to you, but you turn down suggestion like checking homepages cause then you would have to read throuh a text and maybe watch a video to understand the reasons behind certain skills or sets used.
if its really unpleasent to read a guide on certain homepages, then you can still mark the whole text and copy it over into a wrod, and print out, this is not an excuse to ignore the guides online!
that the fundamental flaw all arround the globe these days, to lazy to do stuff yourself, but other should be the ones investing time and teaching you how something works. this calculations will never add up over the long run, since ppl will get bored giving you tips if you donw follow them.
sorry if it offends you but thats how I interpret your post.
"Okay I wanna be a Stamina DK, here is one... Not a big fan of the black background on white text, but whatever. This is guide feels too wordy, with information scattered all around the place, not interested."
Then Xynode:
"Ugh, who's idea was it to leave the Elsweyr logo as a background? Some things I can't even properly read. This is the worst website I've seen yet for game guides!"
Maybe it was me unlucky or something, but I tried watching a video, the individual commentating sounded about as enthusiastic as a loaf of soggy bread, and talked non-stop about things, when I was thinking "Get to the point already!".
Ultimately, I feel like guides are useless, as you can do whatever they tell you, but it doesn't guarantee results if you don't get the playstyle or if you hate the playstyle. That and I just don't trust/respect the person writing the guide. Got burned too many times before.
Also I find it brave that you consider me "Lazy", as it would imply that I am doing absolutely nothing with myself and just sit there staring at the sky, and then going to the forums to yell "My DPS is not improving!". And when I say "Do nothing" I mean literally not do anything. Hitting a skeleton, using different skills and weapons and farming Fighters Guild shows that I am actually doing SOMETHING.
Or I can just play tank. It may not be as satisfying as a DPS, but it's something I can play and am excelling at, so that is a positive (InB-Four some keyboard warrior comes screeching "This is an admission of defeat! You will never achieve anything in life!" Or some other B.S)
People this days are so spoiled.Oh no, this web site doesnt look pretty enough lets ignore its content even though all the information on it is important for me to improve and i went out of my way to find that but cant get over the looks and people in videos dont overhype and oversell the build and say it plain and simple and i dont like that and i hope they get the the point and say the magic formula for dps instead of taking their time to explan every single bit and reasoning about their build so it helps others understand and and use it better but no its too long and boring for me too listen so i will instead complain about my bad performance on forums and say there is nothing i could have done about it.Thats how you sound.
The way a website looks and how information is spread out is, unsurprisingly, rather important. If the information is spread out all over the place, or it's ontop of a layout that makes it hard to read, no one is gonna bother as it looks like the person put little effort in making it presentable.
And when I talk about the videos, it is because someone sounding like he's about to fall asleep makes for a very unpassionate video, that reflects onto the viewers. And I say this as someone who's working on a video with commentary, if I sound like as I usually do (Very relaxed and quiet), only people I'll attract are those who need ASMR to fall asleep. It's not to oversell to a bunch of children with ADD, but to simply express a bit of passion.
You can disagree all you want, but that's how it is. Got a problem? Then eat me.
Edit: Besides, I've been playing as a tank for a majority of my recent relapse. Less stressful and I don't need to deal with having people give me *** about "ur not diing enuf dps". Admitively I woulld like to unwind and just play as a DPS, but I am too considerate to my own detriment of other players to just queue as a DPS and take glorious *** on people who'd decide to talk trash to me.
Glad you listened to the advice ‘go play a tank’, how much you like short que?
