Rogue/mage damage, gear and stats

Hi guys. So, I've been working on my rogue (with my limited budget and limited access to hm gear) and I'm trying to figure out where I'm at compared to those of you who are high end damage dealers.

Right now I have mostly shell/mem/eoj gear (I do have the PoM head/glove set), and mostly shell stats. I started with mostly 6 x dex/pa, but then started going 2x2x2 dex,str, stam pa. I'm sitting at 100k pa unbuffed and around 68k HP. My damage is 17704 with mainhand being Transformed thorny Blade t11 +16. Rings are +17 & +16, and my crit is 5170 / 70.41%. I know... This is where you guys were at when cap was 72.

The highest dps I've been able to produce (against pillars 1st boss easy) is about 1.2M. Of course that's with no debuffs on the boss and with using my full rotation for burn buffs and priest buffs on me.

I feel like that dps amount seems awfully low, especially for an easy mode boss, and compared to what you guys do to hard mode bosses. How much difference would there be if I was in full hard mode gear? Where do you all feel I'm at and what do you think I should work towards next. Most importantly, if I were on your server, would you invite this character for any hm runs or do think there are things I would have to further improve prior to that happening?

I appreciate any input you can provide to help me out.

Full instance gear will, about always, be better than other gear. Yes pom stats are the best but the gear is what really counts in the long run as long as you dont str/dex or too much stamina.

You should focus on mainly statting with dex/pa and str/pa.

Your weapon is also "lacking," try a Sandos Claw. It's level 70 but has the highest damage output until the lvl 85+ ones.

As a roguemage make sure youre always in white hit distance of the boss or half of your dps will not be counted for.

You need to go back to 6 dex/patk or at least 3 dex/patk and 3 str/patk using all shells stats, and get rid of any stams. Shell gear or any gear that doesn't have any patk are not good. Finally, nowadays, a +20 weapon and rings are helpful in order to keep up.

what?... He's using a lvl 90 weapon which is higher DPS then the lvl 80 sandos claw :p And gives crit which he is in desperate need of.

I'd say aim for about 140k patk, 6500 crit, and +20 rings, and your damage will raise significantly.

Without knowing exactly what cooldowns you used for 1.2m dps in pillars its hard to say whether its a rotation error or just gear. But from the look of it it seems its simply outdated gear, and that you are playing the r/m correctly ^.^ You should be able to get 140k quite easily statting with all shell stats 3/3 or 4/2 (dex/pa and str/pa)


And get that crit up!! :D

(Also with the new cap coming, brings a new crafted dagger, keeping a weapon up to date is the biggest factor in keeping good damage)

Sorry to say but budget rogue isn't high end damage dealer.

Can argue neither is high end geared rogue.

Lack of pattk cooldown makes rogue worse with every content release.

What he said, if you want to be dps on budget, go wd/w all the way, you can easily do huge dps even with ok-ish gear, just make sure you have good tank though :)

Just a little update. I managed to add one new piece of gear which bumped my unbuffed PAttk up to 107k, added one more + to my weaon (now at +17), one more plus on one of my rings, and began working on my pet's skills (now have critical at lvl 3). Last night I managed 2.7M dps vs. Gorligen. Getting there, slowly but surely.
