To all the DRKs able to pull over 900 single target on a dummy

I have altered opening rotation to be (Dark Arts) > Unmend (Plunge) > Scourge (Blood Weapon + Carve and Spit) > Hard Slash (Salted Earth + Dark Passenger) > Syphon Strike (Dark Arts + Low Blow) > Souleater. From here I do a Delirium combo and transition into more Soul Eaters. This has been working better for me, so maybe someone else could verify?

Yeah this rotation works really well too. Tho if you're just DPSing you don't need that Unmend at the beginning.

They nerfed Dark Arts again. Seems were were still able to benefit DPS wise from a bug?

??? They just fixed a bug quite some time ago now where we could power up 2 skills at once with a single Dark Arts but nothing more, and this fix didn't nerf our DPS, it just requires us to do more Dark Arts than before to do the same thing.

Using plunge and low blow and scourge before using blood weapon is a huge waste to management. Start with dark arts followed by salted earth, power slash blood weapon, carve and spit, syphon strike, dark arts, plunge, low blow, soul eater, then just repeat pretty much... Use dark passenger after derlium blade.

Which is a nerf to DPS.

It's not a nerf it's a fix. And I personally have not lost that much DPS, I'm still able to pull in the 920-950 range alone and 1000+ when I'm with my static with the slashing debuff and all that good synergy stuff.

If your damage is lowered by 0.00001% it is still technically a nerf.

We still got nerfed, again. Regardless. Even if its a fix.

Could one of you claiming these 900+ numbers get a video together showing what you are doing? I am capping out closer to 800DPS(without slashing debuff) on a dummy with similar gear and using the exact same rotations being posted here. At this point I'm having a really hard time believing some of these number claims because they sound more like numbers I get from the opening burst over an actual sustained number.

Can we post parser screenshots ? I can't record and upload right now but I can take a couple screenshots if you want, but I don't want to get banned for that

Edit : BTW bought Antiquated Deathbringer today, I noticed in between 50-90 DPS increase from Hive Claymore in full slaying right side
