    Was my dps the problem?

    in Sage / Sorcerer

    Burst is fine and all but theres some fights that require sustained damage some fights that require High damage per second i want to cover all bases i play an mmo to progress and get better thats what im doing..im new to this game but im not new to mmos mechanics i can do basics **** but i want my damage output to be good enough to do what i need to do

     

     

    heres my parsely http://parsely.io/parser/view/117463

     

     

    This is from dummy

    Ok m8 looking at your parse i can see whats going on. For starters you are opening with the wrong ability. you should be opening like this Crushing darkness>affliction>Polarity shift+reclklessness+adrenal> thundering blast>Lightning flash>chain lightning>lightning bolt>lightning bolt> thundering blast etc.

    basic rule is to never delay thundering blast. everything else is priority.

     

    Another thing i noticed is your apm is way low for lightning your apm should be around 48-50 actions per minute in lightning. So i would start by looking at some guides or some other material to get the rotation down.

    here is my parse from my 3.0 Lightning sorc http://parsely.io/parser/view/61067/0

    I find it strange that People are so fixed at damage only when it comes to playing dps.

     

    I doeal ALOT of damage, my guild are generally quite pleased With my DPS output in OPS, however I deal less then 3k but I deal less then 3K FAST and ALOT, so I deal MORE damage in 10 sec then most that deal more damage then me.

     

    I have tweeked my gir so that my cooldowns are somewhat lessened, meaning I can use my abilities a fraction faster, I have surpringly enough sacrificed Power for accuracy, defense and cooldown reductions.

     

    So the damage output is only 1 aspect of how a dps performs

     

    First off as a dps your ONE CORE JOB is to do damage. if you are not performing those duties you are essentially useless to your group. Yes there are things you can do as a dps to mitigate damage, and have more utility for you r group but your role is DPS for a reason.

    Best Sage sub-class for leveling? And rotations?

    Hi All, thanks for your replies.

     

    Does the Duffy Sage Tele 3.0 guild still work in 4.0?

     

    Playing Telekinesis now and man the cast times are hahahahahaha long. Maybe I will go Balance after my current planet. So that I can experience both.

     

    But the cast times are no where as long as my Artifice leveling :D To bad cannot install some version of SWTOR Skills "game" on my phone and grind the Crew Skills at work :p

     

    back in 3.0 having the old DM/DF set bonus was BIS to add an extra alacrity boost to your moves. You should consider adding some alacirty to your gear im sure you will see some speed increases.

    If you post a parse we can analyze more in depth the fight. but from what i can guess you are probably losing apm and up-time on the boss between killing adds and running to hide behind rocks. there are some tricks you can use in this fight to get some more uptime on the boss like peeking from behind rocks to to insta casts, and making sure your affliction stays on boss at ALL TIMES
