DRK Rotation Help?

[Indiction]

So currently I am using this rotation,
http://ffxivrotations.com/1l5w

The problem I'm having is I can't really push my dps past 4.7k. For the record, I'm leaving out pot/food to see how much raw, unaltered dps I can push right now.

• I'm ilvl 392

• Doing the above rotation without pots/food, only in Darkside

• i390 weapon

• 2200 CRIT/1350 DET/800 DH

I'm seeing these videos with "5.2k dps" and stuff, and I just can't seem to push myself up that high. I started tanking not too long ago, to mix up all the healing and some dpsing that I do, and I want to nail down my dps as a tank. Any help and pointers would be appreciated.

Honestly it's hard to tell exactly without logs or a video of you doing said rotation.

Food and pots do make a difference. If those videos have a slashing debuff up, that's what's you're missing as you do get ~10% increase.

Only other thing I can point out is that that rotation is a double weave rotation, so if your skill speed or your ping is too high you might be clipping your GCD and as such losing DPS. Either try a lower speed or check out the high speed/ping friendly rotations like this one: http://ffxivrotations.com/1tbk

Are you testing your own dps on a dummy? The videos showing results, are they done in parties with at least one Slashing source? A large amount of your rotation is slashing damage except Salted Earth, so a good chunk of dps comes from +10% slashing vuln, regardless of other debuffs.

EDIT: Saw too late that Phoenicia mentioned Slashing right after food & pots.
