Angamir Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Hi guys I recently tried myself first time on Operation Dummy. I mena i run a lot of Hm NiM Operations before so I know I was at least decent, but It is the first time I recordem my score for comparison. Outside of my Guild. BTW I scored 3313 with powertech DPS - 6/40/0 build ; ] - my gear is full 180 no 186 yet. So I am wondering how are my scores compared to what is expected from DPS with similar gear. The scores on Torparse are for ppl with the best gear possible, and I see that most ppl use Pyrotech build on Dummy. So what do you think about that score - good, ok, can I somehow check the scores of ppl in 180 gear to compare myslef with them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I saw your thread over on Gen discussion and i'd like to offer some tips. You're currently going 6/40/0. This isn't the best option. You want 8/36/2 (if you need quick interrupts take 1 from bonus armor and 1 from move speed to speed up your interrupts) Other than that, hitting ~3300 is almost optimal, and simply swapping to that spec should get you what you need for AP (AP's damage sucks without a second target by design) Also the peak AP parse (which had a lucky crit rate and stuff) was 3482 dps when dread forged was still top level gear, though it did have 261 crit (optimal rating for dread forged is ~171 and you start losing DPS at about 230 rating) Edited May 28, 2014 by TACeMossie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angamir Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Thx seems legit. I could probably drop that interrupt cd tallent when doing NiM - since on Draxus u have debuff anyway. But I think I will keep damage reduction. I can switch of Harmstring in NiM too. Thx for good advice. btw my 6/40/0 build is what I use for Daylies/FP etc. in Nim OPS some things are redundant I agree. And from what I hear best parses on Dummy are made on Pyrotech anyway.

Angamir Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Pyrotech (Powertech) Power Bracer now increases the damage of periodic elemental damage by 35% in addition to its other effects. Rapid Venting has been replaced by Critical Venting. Critical Venting increases Critical Hit chance by 1/2 percent, and reduces the cooldown of Vent Heat and Thermal Sensor by 15/30 seconds. 2.8 patch notes Is that the improvement you talked about ? just this 2 improvements will skyroket the DPS by 15% ? to 3900 on dummy in 180 gear ?

Thats exactly the DPS improvement I was mentioning. And yeah, 3900 isn't looking too hard at all, considering the gear I used on the PTS was hitting an average of 3350 live and 3750 on the PTS, and I finally got full 180s and am hitting an average of 3600 dps live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
