Even after i got seph wep, 230 helm, 220 boots, it didn't change my DPS by much.
i'm not using pots or food, no melds. It's probably more micro managing rotation, but i don't know if i can squeeze out 100 more dps by that.

So I don't know if +1 WD will equal out to about the same dps increase but I'm still not close to 1485. I actually failed it at 4% previously before I even got any of the Midas drops, so it seems odd that even 3 new pieces didn't help my dps that much besides maybe 1 extra percent.
ya it's basically same for me - it's just a few points of DPS increase, and i'm still stuck at 3-5% at A5S SSS, before and after upgrades.
