Confused about gear and parse numbers


Recommended Posts

So, in good faith, I've been using some of the numbers people here and on dulfy suggest for a merc dps. At the moment, I've got unaugmented dps gear that's optimized 192 commendation (haven't gotten a chance to get token yet.) I'm struggling to sustain 3300 on the dummy in IO.

 

The confusion comes from the fact that when I put on my healing gear, (power augmented, optimized token 192), I'm pushing 4k. Why am I doing so much more damage? Is it really just the difference between having/not having augments? Is it the token enhancements and mods? Does the dummy not take into account accuracy?

 

I'd really appreciate some explanation. Trying to grasp this whole gear thing so I can lead my guild properly, which is fairly new to raiding.

#1 commendation gear gives you hitpoints instead of damage stats leaving you short of 182 power/crit

#2 no augments leaves you short of 728 aim/power stats

 

I'm saying nothing about your parsing because I don't know how consistent your methods are but you are missing a huge chunk of damage potential from stats alone.
