Easiest dps right now

[Pupuksu]

I was going to ask how Summoner was difficult(My summ is only 50) But I could see how Managing Aetherflow + Some new stack could be difficult. But it sounds Like you just Open With Tri-Disaster wait till Dreadworm Trance is up Pop all your buffs. Burst like a Mofo and extend the duration of your dots with Garuda-Egi. Finish with enkindle and Deathflare and Fester for a good amount of burst.

Edit : And when that rotation isn't up go back to refreshing dots and spamming Ruin II.
Do I have the gist of it?

I save Tri-Disaster for when I burn through all the stacks of aether.
So it goes normal DoT casting, Fester, etc...once stacks burned, Aetherflow > RS > DT > Tri > Fester > Contagion > etc.

Currently 59 and I have 58 gear. My DoTs tick for about 680-790 each time with that. If I threw in an Int pot and got a Balance...UGGGGNNHHH

Lol, this guy. He'll probably tell you stories about how he had to keep multiple mobs sleeping on his mesmer or whatever in EQ "back when MMOs were hard".

I must be retarded because I don't find all the classes to be easy to play optimally 100% of the time.

Oh I caught one. *Release*

[Ogrumz]

It kinda is though... Especially when you have fights like Ravana Ex.

Every level 60 DRG on the server I talk to says it is not hard, and that other DRGs need to learn to sit between the flank and the butt. /shrug

Fascinating.

[BlackThought]

DRG should be hard. It's a melee dps class and has one of the highest potential dps in the game. Before HW it was very easy as far as melee goes.

This is a rather hilarious bit of revisionism here. Dragoon did enjoy a few months of easy street, yes. That was predated a much longer period of crippling magic defense, severe punishing DPS loss for missed positionals, and everyone's favorite jump animations locks.

For like... two final coil mechanics.

And balance fighting mechanics at Melee range, AND mange your ofGDC (Protip, just using them on cooldown may not always be optimal DPS due to said mechanics) and this is on top of Geirskogul usage and managing your Blood of the Dragon timer.

If you think it's simple, it's probably because you're not playing to potential.

Summoner is one of the easiest... Throw up your dots, use pet abilities, nuke(with aether abilities as well), monitor dots on targets and pet buffs, repeat. In fact, most fights are too quick to even get up a lot of dots in a group scenario so a lot of shit I feel somewhat useless in. Only time I feel like we can shine is when we fight a boss and there's movement. Our dots get their full durations on bosses and the moving mechanics allows us to do dmg while moving so it can be nice but, with the pets doing less damage then our dots, It feels weak as hell. When the hell are we going to see a game where a dev team makes the PETS Stronger then the player himself how EQ did it. That was incredible.

These piss poor iterations of so called "pet" classes are just sad. Make the pets STRONG as hell, like the backbone of your damage for the class instead of the player doing most of the damage with the pet just being a meaningless dot.

EQ - Pets incredibly strong in all 4 forms, player damage mediocre, player supplement's pets to be even better with summoning of items to increase pets potency, pet buffs, berserk buffs, more abilities to effect the pet - How it SHOULD be.
Every game since then - Pet is weak as shit, player does more damage. NOT how a pet class should be.

For like... two final coil mechanics.

Which were then followed by enrage timers and in one instance, a stacking buff to the boss. GG progression groups.

holy jebus, does it ever. I have to use three rows of 1-7, and that's only at 55. ninja is pretty bloated when it comes to buttons

The amount of active skills to put on hotbar feels pretty average (or less) to me.

A few quality of life macros helps a long way to cut down on the buttons xd
Goat/Invigorate in one button.
Sneak/Trick attack with Death Blossom AOE (since sneak/trick is disabled unless in hidden status).
Stuff like that.
