      @@skinnycheeks have always wanted that too. I want to start testing some of my own ideas and putting some stuff out there but would be nice to have some better tools especially for console.
      I’m not a hater of parses, like you said it teaches you how to do your rotations and stuff but I think they can be misleading. Mostly when it comes to transferring those builds into dungeon content as you likely have none of the buffs the trial dummy has making builds with no pen seem great but in reality you are likely under pen like 10k in a real dungeon group. Additionally things all the buffs stacked up like crit damage and damage done. If you are to Que up for a random dungeon group you likely have a tank in some ebon and drakes rush and a healer with hollow fang and maybe spc and that’s it, not to mention horn up time.

      Great video lots of excellent information. I think it would be good if you could let players know what range of dps they should be aiming for when doing content ranging from normal dungeons to vet dlc dungeons and normal trials through to vet hm trials. We never hear anything from the developers about that - they only really comment when they think players dps is too high and they cut it back through nerfs.

    This was a great, thanks alot.
    I recently realised how much time it takes to master the LA Weave, I mained tank from level 1 to 1000cp
    I had a guild friend who was probably the best dd I had ever seen his damage was always top every encounter no matter what class he played after I actually added him and noticed how much time he spent in his eso house (probably 70% of his play time) I then understood how much practice it takes to perfect a rotation and it wasn't just some people can and some people can't. It just takes time. 🙂

    There are 2 more versions of trial dummies, Harrowing Reaper and Deadlands Harvester, they work identical to Iron Atro but their hitbox is slightly bigger, so if for some reason you use Mystic Orb on a dummy, it will do few more ticks as it passes through

    • @skinnycheeks
      @skinnycheeks  2 роки тому +9

      you can actually hit all orb ticks on the iron atronach as well if you stand at just the right spot! sometimes you might see in my vids i have a furnishing or something on the ground, i'm usually marking where i need to stand haha. I think it is a bit easier on those to make that happen though. They also slowed down orb slightly for update 35 so that may be even easier now.

    I'm on Xbox. I don't know if this is a doctor on PC and PS, but one thing that can hurt your numbers is lag. When I would parse in a guild hall with all the decorations and crafting tables, some of my light attacks would not register.

      ​@skinnycheeks we get about as inconsistent lag as can be on console. In PVP, trials, randomly in dungeons and vet dungeons. It's a beach. And that's IF you don't have someone on PC Xbox emulator screwing with your shit just to be funny or have a power trip. Most everyone wants to act like it isn't a thing. But it's WAY more common than anyone wants to admit.

    The dummy practice that got me to a 125k dummy parse is what got me to multiple content parse records. It doesn't make you do well in content but it's the multiplying factor alongside your handling of the mechs. You cannot do better than (perfect mechs)*(perfect setup)*(your cleanest parse)

    Why is it the numbers I get on the PTS dummy are always around 10K different than the numbers I get with an identical setup on the Live Server? Same sets, All Gold (even Jewelry), same traits and enchants on the sets, same skills, same passives, same Blue tree CP (over1,900 CP on Live), same 64 points in attributes. Every possible thing is identical. But after repeated testing (at least a dozen times yesterday alone) I always come out about an extra 10K dps on the PTS server this patch. I also took pics of the character screen showing all my Weap/spell dam, Max mag, crit chance, etc... And compared and they are identical with only a couple minor differences (I think I had roughly 400 extra mag for some reason on the Live server which should only increase my dps but that is the server I am getting almost 10K dps less on).

I have 1800 CP and the non-perfected sets recommended in the builds improved to gold. I live in Australia so have high ping that can't be fixed.

    If u can't get a decent Number because of a to slow or wrong delivert Rotation on a just Standing, not hitting back and without mechs tocdeal with, you will suck in actual Content. That's just it. It's a practise tool and everything needs practise. Yes, of course actual Content is different but If you are not sure about what u are doing on the Dummy, Imagine how effective you will be in between mechs lol On the other hand, beeing a great Dummy humper with Insane Numbers does not automaticly make you a super Player! Everything needs practise and it's as simple as this. People who Bitch about Dummy practise are mostely the ones who have to practise more and are unsatisfied with their numbers. And of course one has to blame somebody else instead of own lazyness (uhhh this mean Endgamers) or something (meeeh the Dummy is not Content). 🙄🙄
