What does your gear look like to pull that? I was at 440-460 in t10 last night at i116 w/ i115 weapon.

i have all coil accessories except ring. Still need to get carboncoat choker cause coil one is crap compared to it. on left side i had 120 poe pants and chest, 130 feet, 110 soldiery hands, 110 crafted head, 130 belt. Dreadwyrm daggers as well. my ivl was 123 or 4 when i recorded it. One foe req was played only in beginning. Back at your ivl when i had 115 weap i was doing 488, though at that time i was using raiton exclusively even with my mudra lag. Im still making a few mistakes here and there in that instance with lining up some things well with the transition from adds to boss, and add to add, so there's room for improvement on my part.

I must be doing something wrong then if I'm only doing 440-460 by the end of the fight. I'm not messing up my rotations, and I'm nailing my jutsus consistently and on time. I must be getting hit with mechanics more than other people are or something.

I also bottom out on tp sometimes and have to ask for paeon though. Still, it does bother me when I'm not hitting as high numbers as I see others post on the forums from time to time. Especially when I already feel like I'm doing quite a lot already.

I have shiva diamond daggers poetic head/chest/legs/feet/neck/ring and the rest is 110 and I have no crafted gear.

Nonetheless, if I'm not one of the best at what I enjoy doing, then I need to find out why. Though I'm assuming that it's beginning to boil down more and more to gear and luck.

Last night in T11 I was at 460-480 and I'm pretty confident that I was on point for majority of those runs ( someone kept wiping us on tethers, pugged a healer for our static since she couldn't make it last night).

Snippet

How much SKS do you have vs. How much Det/Crit? Your secondary stats can make a really big difference on your DPS.

Regardless 440-460 isn't BAD by any means on T10 for your gear, I imagine you could probably get closer to 500~. You probably dip a bit when the adds come up, you want to minimizing movement here and ensure that Storms Eye or Dancing Edge is up on which ever target you are primarily attacking. You can also split dots among the adds. What I typically do is DE the main focus'd add then use Shadow Fang and Mutilate on it, I then use Spinning Edge on it then switch to the other add to apply shadow fang/ Mutilate and then switch back to the main add. This was you can dps from your dots and don't lose much from the lack of DE/SE on the other add. Also learn to be a little greedy with charges and learn which risks you can take.

I never posted before but his topic is cool and I'm Pugilist (PUG) still only on level 15 and its pretty useful already reading what you guys had to say. I still don't know how I will get to Rouge and Ninja but can't wait, i wanna know what levels i get which at and does the transition mean that you can swap between the classes back and forth or do you have to level one at a time..
I don't know how to change jobs still must look into that. lol like i said i'm just wasting time posting this but if you want to reply to it awesome

awesome

Beastmate!

Glad you are excited : D.

You can actually unlock Rogue at level 10, you need to go to the watery town of limsa to unlock it ( Lower limsa, near the docks, should be marked on the map as Rogue's guild).

You can only level each class individually, so if you unlock Rogue then it will be level 1 while your Pugilist will be at 15 and you will change classes upon changing your weapon. I would recommend getting Pugilist to 30 first and doing some of the story. At level 30 you can become a Monk! Which is quite a bit stronger than pugilist but you have to level your Lancer to 15 to begin the quests. Once you get to level 30 that is when I Would start exploring the armoury system and unlock every job to try it out.

How well does ShaolinMike's opener do these days?

How well does ShaolinMike's opener do these days?

As relatively poorly as it always has. No reason to rush that first Mutilate without trick attack up.

The opener I use and posted is basically the same thing but gets all important attacks up with the TA buff.

Oh thank you. How much dps do you do with yours roughly?

Hey guys, so I kinda went and made a little video guide to Ninja.

I was kind of sleep deprived so it might be terrible, I'll find out when I watch it back in the morning.

Hope it helps somebody.
