Looking for help to increase damage

[Remora]

<p>So tonight at raid we took down Gynok for the first time.  Being an AOE fight I should parse fairly well, but I know I have seen parses on this fight higher than mine.  Here some info on the fight</p><p>Group setup: Swash, Pally, Coercer, Dirge, Templar, Mystic (I think mystic was 2nd healer)</p><p>Buffs:  DPS buff from coercer, <strong>no BC</strong></p><p>Link to my gear:  <a href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/characters/character_profile.vm?characterId=137412108">http://eq2players.station.sony.com/...terId=137412108</a> (had 5MC neck on instead of choker)</p><p>Raid wide DPS: 103k</p><p>My DPS:  9.7k</p><p><img src="http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee117/Remora-pics/gynokdps.jpg" width="993" height="788" /></p><p>Any input anyone could give me would be a big help.</p>

<p>I'm guessing you're a swashy? I don't know much about the Swashy tree, but don't you use poison? I don't see any on that parse.</p>

<p>Because of the power drain from the fight, I was running mental breach</p>

<p>Your really not doing too bad considering your group makeup and gear situation, you did almost 10% of the raid wide. Keep in mind its an AoE fight for the first part but once his 4 buddies are down you have a good chunk of time where your parse will drop because its single target again.</p><p>Not using a damage poison really hurts on this fight, if you have power issues get the Runnyeye collection power proc earring/ring. If you still have issues try and get a hold of some Di`Zok mental breach, its a power tap but does physical damage to the target.</p><p>Tell the dirge to give you BC next time as well.</p>

[Remora]

<p>Besides different poison and telling the dirge to not be stingy with BC, any other suggestions (gear ect).  Keep in mind I am not in an avatar guild and have not cleared all TSO zones.</p>

<p>Round Two's Results</p><p>Group:  Same as before</p><p>Buffs: Coercer DPS, BC</p><p>Raid DPS:  97.7k</p><p>My DPS:  9.6k</p><p><img src="http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee117/Remora-pics/gynokdps2.jpg" /></p>

This will at least start you off with damage poison. If it comes to a point where you need mental breach you can right click cancel your damage poison in the buff bar.</p>

<p>I use the <span >aITEM 882402147 -890143115:Rilissian Vital Strike/a</span> on the power hungry fights.  Procs health and power tap.</p>

[Rippitt]

<p>I parse 20k+ on Gynok but then again my raid gets pretty close to 250k dps. You're doing fine.</p><p><img src="http://www.eq2flames.com/attachments/swashbucklers/3303d1259732167-parse-thread-gynok-12-1.jpg" width="727" height="694" /></p>

<p>The gear from that profile link isnt what i was wearing when I posted the first two.</p><p>Here is the parse from last night:</p><p>Buffs:  Inquis, Dirge (with BC)</p><p>My DPS:  13.2k</p><p>Raid DPS:  176.5k</p><p><img src="http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee117/Remora-pics/Gynok3.png" /></p>

<p>there you found a nice increase with caustic poison.  and of course, BC helps.  Caustic usually does 750-875 dps on this fight, and total raid dps will affect your dps quite a bit.  100k raid dps vrs 200k raid dps will change your parses by several k.</p>
