HELP NEEDED

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">Ok fellow Paladins, I need some advice or help maybe. Ive hit a brick wall. I recently completed the quest for my fabled (epic). I don’t have my Mythical. Before I was using a blessed longsword with a runic adornment on it. BTW im a casual player and have only recently started raiding, please forgive my gear.</span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">Using the MC blessed long sword, My standard group parses per encounter were on average of 2k-2.2k, this includes zone wides, and parse per encounter.</span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">Since I received my fabled (truth of Marr), my dps has dropped a whole 1k on per encounter and zonewides, in the same group ive been in. The only thing that has changed since I had the MC sword is my shield, and it was an upgrade to the old one, the stats were better not worse.</span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">My pally has a full set of Tier1 shard armor (yea I know no myth and no tier2 Im behind the times)</span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">A couple tier 1 pieces of jewelry with some rok jewelry, a mixture of dps and tank jewelry at that. </span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">Nothing but my weapon and shield have changed, and my dps even solo has dropped tremendously. In a group with a illy the other night, I was working to hit 1.8k, when just a week ago same grp I was turning 2.2k-2.5k. </span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">I cant figure it out, my pally friends said their dps went up when they got their fabled, mine dropped a whole 1k on ZW and per encounter. I cant for the life of me figure it out, I try to time my auto attack, but that doesn’t even help.</span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">With all that being said, I know grp makeup and per encounter parses aren’t the most accurate, but my dps is the most consistant I can provide, and with the same grp makeup and per encounter and zw im parsing a whole 1k less all around.</span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">Heres a link to my pally, I know eq2players sucks on the stats, never correct.

TRUST ME when i say if ou dont have alot of things with + slashing without debuffs or a dirge its tough to this day i can go into coa and mass pull are parse 5k no bard no chanter np then ill go to forge, 3kish no bard no chanter. it stings trust me. im guessing once you got your fabled epic and some gear you tryed harder content.</p><p>second some quick easy tips to upping your dps, get the mastercrafted str ring and replace the opal bracelet, forget spellcrit for now work on melee crit and double attack.</p>

<p>That sounds about right, though before i got my fabled(epic), i ran nuroga, deep forge, and scion and could still see 2k parses, i had to work for it. BUt now same zones and same grp load out, im parsing way under. I figured mob lv at first but then i compared to earlier parses out of deep forge and nuroga, before and after.</p><p>I will look into getting a str ring, my dps mod is a bit lacking think its 19, and i cant seem to get alot of melee crit. Thank you for this information, its much appreciated.</p>

When i canceled the illy haste went from 1300-1500 dps to around 1800-1900 dps. The conclusion i have come to, is the debuffers werent debuffing or something. Cant figure it out, thats my best guess is the mobs werent debuffed. Again, thank you for your help and suggestions.</p>
