First off all thanks alot for the advice/help Your suggestions make alot of sense and i've been trying to incorporate them. Been doing a bit better tho still room for improvement. Latest parse: http://parsely.io/parser/view/20203/3

Hey Kwerty, now i know everyone is always asking you a bunch of questions and stuff but yeah i hope you don't mind me joining in. First of all, i'd like to thank you for your guide and all the math you've done; it's pretty awesome. Secondly, i'll post my gear and a good parse (for me). Maybe you can tell me what can be improved ? Would be appreciated. the parse: http://parsely.io/parser/view/19404/5 Depending on my crit rate, i'm between 4,3k and 4,5k dps the gear: 600 Alacrity - 283 Surge - 318 crit-765 Accuracy -1857 power This is with stim on. Gear is full 192 ops gear (missing 1 mod), 2 198 mk-2 enhancements Any places where i can improve ? or is this dps normal for my gear lvl

Hello everyone, i'm relatively new at Pt dps and just got my 6set so i'm looking for some feedback about my dps in my current gear. Everything is 192 ops gear 'cept for 1 relic and still need 1 mod Accuracy:772 Crit:400 (will go lower if i get my final mod) Surge:231 Alacrity: 541 Augments: 6 mainstat augs; rest acurracy/alacrity So i'm doing about 4,3k dps on average on the 1mil dummy with this gear. My apm is around 48. Heat management seems to be fine, doing about 70 rapid shots per parse so i think that's fine. Anyway yeah would just like some feedback. Should i do higher dps with my current gear ? What would you change gear wise ? Or should my apm still be higher ? All the feedback is welcome . Thank you for reading.

Can't talk much about other classes but if running snipers/gunslingers, they can mitigate alot of dmg from the big grenade and gravity missiles. If you time evasion/roll right, it takes away sooo much dmg. I run the bombs on my sniper and i usually only get around 800 dtps (maybe sometimes a bit more). Lastly, about dps, question for other bomb runners, with the 250k dmg you get from the bombs; what's your dps usually ? i get around 3-3,2 k usually (did more and less but usually in between that). Does that seem right or should i do higher consistently ?

Hey everyone, soo i'd like some feedback about my dummy dps i'm doing now. I'll start with posting gear Everything is BiS 192, except for helmet (bulo hm) 2 revanite implants and 1 revanite relic. Also 2 extra 198 enhancements from mk-2 drops. For engineering/marksmanship i run the following Crit:319 Surge:240 Alacrity:231 Accuracy:788 Mainstat augments cept for 2 acc augments. For virulence i run the same, only 479 crit or so to help with energy management. Now engineering is my main spec and i do around 4,7k dps without roll on a dummy, on an average parse Marksmanship: average parse is around 4,3-4,4K Wtih virulence i'm about 4,6K or so Now my question is, for my gear, is my dps around where it should be or should i get higher numbers ? If i'm low, what, if anything, would you change gearwise? If nothing about the gear, it'll be up to personal performance but i'm really struggling to see what i could do better. My apm and such seem good when compared to the top parses. Lastly, for engineering i tested the heavy alacrity build a bit and i around 4,6 compared to 4,7. I might need to do some more testing. Or does that compare to other people who've tested it ? Maybe lower dps on dummy but higher in ops ? Anyway, excuses for the lengthy post. I'm just trying to improve as much as i can. Thank you all for reading.

Fair enough, 4k ehps should be possible if the damage is there, you're right. But yeah tho we've killed it before, when we struggle it's because dps should be higer. We do a great job avoiding dmg but that impacts our dps sometimes. Am i right in thinking you need about 14,5-15K dps to kill it comfortably ?

Our healers were doing slightly less then 8k ehps on our kill

When my group killed it, our tank at U1 (without tank swap aswell) was around 2,6-2,7 dtps so that seems fine. The damage taken by our dps was lower tho and we have great healers. Most of the dps/heals were between 600-800 dtps with one healer and one dps a bit closer to the 1K. Besides avoiding stuff, it's also very important to time the use of defensive cooldowns correctly. But that's smth you learn with doing it more. I honestly feel like wiping/doing progression on walkers was a masterclass in avoiding aoe's/using defensive cooldowns.

Conspiracy of Darkness Hello everyone, i'm Tyrlen from Conspiracy of Darkness and we're looking to add some quality folks to our hm progression group. We're 3/5 ravagers and 2/5 ToS (but close to getting further in ToS) We do 3-4 hm's a week; usually tuesday/thursday/sunday with monday being optional if people can commit. Scheduled raid times are 8pm-11pm GMT: All weekdays. Mainly 8man raids. Alt groups or gearing runs occur as well. We expect members to be mature, patient, willing and able to learn. We use TS3 during ops, mic is preferred but not mandatory, but you will need to listen in. Our Focus is new HM's, but we also indulge ourselves in old content like classic NiM's, Entities etc when time and people permits. The guild is a social, friendly and mature group of players, many of us 30+. There is little patience for drama, kids and trolls etc. We aim to have a relaxed and patient raiding environment while still keeping a high standard with focus on progression. You can of course also contact us in-game for any questions. (Seymoure, Unikirr, Aneax, or Tyrlen) http://conspiracyod.enjin.com/home As of right now, we're looking for 1 extra tank and 2 or more hm ready dps to join us. Depending on how many we get, we'll probably up the number of raid days. For dps, a rdps would be preferred, with merc being top priority. Ofcourse if you're really great with you mdps then we want to hear from you too. Powertech dps would be great for instance. We also will provide some training if you feel you're ready for the hm's but lack experience. So yeah check us out, talk to the officers, apply on the site.We're a fun and friendly bunch of people and i'm sure you could find a home here. http://conspiracyod.enjin.com/home The guild is a social, friendly and mature group of players, many of us 30+.

OK back with more questions So we just killed walkers and torque. I feel like engineering is no problem for master/blaster but was wondering which spec to run on Underlurker ? Feel like mm is a bit low on dmg tho burst is handy but virulence has no burst basically (and i'm not good at it yet) so guess what i'm asking is do you stick with engineering or go back to mm ?

Allright, then i'll leave the MS' in, handier to have the crit rate when switching to MM or viru. Tho another question, last one for now i swear , is about crit rate, i've been changing things around from 400 to 360 to 319 (which i'm currently using) but haven't really noticed a difference. Does that sound right ? or were my parses not really representative ?

Ok thx camel i'll put in another accuracy one. Btw is there a big difference between power/mainstat for augments ? Should i do full MS or power, or split between them ? (except for the accuracy ones ofcourse)

My 2 best parses, one the 5OOk, one the 1mil. In optimized 6setpiece 192 gear with 2 revanite implants+1 relic Also 2 (i think) 198 enhancements from the op mk-2 drops. http://parsely.io/parser/view/13504/9 (500k) 5,4k Crit rate was damn lucky on that one tho (40%!) http://parsely.io/parser/view/13988/37 (1Mil) 5,2k Edit: both of these were with the double relic proc bug tho, without it i can manage about 5k consistently on the 1 mil dummy. 4,6-4,7 without relic proc and without covered espace.

Hey everyone and especially to camel. I made the switch to engineering from mm about a month ago and i really love. Your guide helped me a ton and the work you've put into all this is really appreciated. Anyway just wanted your opinion on my current stats/gear: i have full optimized 192 6 setpiece with 2 revanite implants and 1 revanite relic. (hoping to get the bulo hm head tonight). Also have some 198 enhancement from the mk-2 drops on hm. So accuracy: 99,89 or 745 Crit:: 319 Surge: 351 Alacrity: 111[ Not sure if this is important but: endurance: 4330/ Cunning: 4351/power=1712 So if anyone could take a look at this, and suggest changes or smth that would be great. Ofcourse if it's already perfect that's fine too Anyway first time posting on the forums; thanks again for the guide.
