All you crazy lvl 80 raiding swashy's out there, how much has your dps increased since you started raiding in T8-T9 zones? at 73 I've already noticed almost a 300 zonewide difference in places like HoS and DT. (just from quest items my crit chance has gone up 10% and CA damage by over 100)

I saw about 50% increase in overall damage output since the last tier.

<p> Definitely higher dps, but haven't grouped yet with fully mastered 80 dirge so don't know how much ultimate change will be.   In groups with 75-76 dirges (e.g. vaults), hovering about 3500 for fights with multiples and zw maybe 2700.   Will be higher in raids, but we are slow getting back to raiding.</p>

I would like to know what gear, stats, AA build, buffs and skills you are using to get 3500 DPS---I am hovering around 1500 atm when grouped.  What is your DPS while soloing?

[Zaci]

in all honesty you need to l2p then. In groups with an incarnadine tomahawk at 73 I hit 2.5kish. Wis, Agi, Strng atm, with only sailwind atm. 2 more aa's for swipe.

<p>In response to q:   I've found that my dps improves very dramatically with dirge buffs.   Other classes' buffs certainly are helpful and show results, but not as dramatic.</p><p>My build is Str, Agi and Wis, with Soulfire Sabre 1h.    I've got sailwind and coule, potency and reach, and the trooper boots.   I am wearing mostly fabled EOF gear (Daring set).  With Dirge buffs, by DA is near, at or just above 100%.   I use much of the new quest jewelry for +crits and +da (from quests in KJ and JW primarily, and faction items from those zones.)   My str with only my own buffs is 850 or so, but with group buffs seems to be around 1030.    My soulfire hits for a lot -- criticals are very high -- with the buffs.   </p><p>when I solo, dps depends a lot on how encounter goes.   If i sneak up on solo mob, daze and back attack first and then chain other ca's, he's dead very soon and dps is 2200-3800 depending on what ca's are up.   Of course, this doesn't work on ^^^s or mobs that see through invis, and dps is lower on those solo.   If I use the temporary self-buffs (ruthless, on guard, insight etc.) my dps can be higher of course.</p><p>In duo or small group without dirge buffs and tank pulling, dps can be much lower.  again, depends on buffs, whether i can get behind the mob, whether there are multiples, whether i use temporary self-buffs etc.  </p><p> are other folks seeing different results?   I think I will improve with more masters and more instance drops.  once i start getting rok raid drops, may be big additional improvement.  if I can get more DA, may switch back to DW.</p>
