2.) Use sunshine. If you have a ring of kinship (a dungeoneering token reward)

I think you've got the wrong ring

 

(I'd edit, but I don't want to fuck anything up if you're doing the same)

[Alejandra]

I noticed that too 

One of the best guides ive seen tho,  nice job

to be fair, the ring of kinship is very related to dungeoneering. But yes I meant Vigor

It's still all over the place, but I'll refine it with feedback (and adding ranged/melee specifics)

[Night Call]

Well put together sir after seeing a 10 min AOD duo i'm really focused on improving the dps 

[Brimes]

Thanks for this voltage.  

[Dnovelta]

Now I might be able to do some dps

Guide is looking great though!

[Asada]

Dropped 25m trying to get Imp3 and all I got was Devoted 2.

100% adren vs 75%  also +3 affinity vs bone daggers +2

 

But you have to factor in the fact hatchet is t70 vs bone daggers t10(?) I know specials get an accuracy buff but i don't know how much of a difference thatd make

Dagger gets 100% accuracy if its your first attack

I often use shadow tendrils in place of deep impact if my hitpoints are irrelevant or if I can heal most of the damage back with soul split. It hits four times, but I cancel it after the third hit because otherwise it hurts you a lot.

 

This is for instances where you aren't in a sunshine/swiftness correct?

Tendril with DS is how people get those 12k crits with range, lol.

Isn't manual higher dps compared to Revolution?

You can "full manual" with Revolution turned on, you have to be activating abilities manually if you're moving (running around, or just walking your bleed so the first hit gets amplified as well).

 

With Revolution turned on, you have to move your character if you would like to stop attacking - which is necessary for the increasingly common strategy of 4 tick auto attacking with magic, can be performed on Revolution but movement can be detrimental at some bosses like Telos (minion movement/beam), Vorago (bombs splash area), or Angel of Death (walking the combust the minion puts on you). A lot of people who play mostly on full manual either don't realize that this can be done, or believe this is far more effort than using full manual to begin with.

 

Using certain abilities strategically - like maximizing AoE damage, walking bleeds, using stun with Flanking equipped, using defensive + click spellcast (for mage - if not doing 4 tick auto attacking) rather than using non-doubled Wrack/single target Chain/Tuska's/Sacrifice/non-Flanking Impact - will result in better overall DPS yeah. Smart use of abilities is better, but turning off Revolution doesn't make your DPS higher automatically, and Revolution being turned on doesn't make your DPS lower automatically.

 

Everyone should be comfortable activating abilities manually, otherwise they're massively handicapped when they have to move their character during a boss encounter. Don't be that guy sitting in the corner not attacking at RotS.
