Guild Wars 2

What is the full buffs dps of a condi ps warrior supposed to be at?
I’m sitting at a*beautiful* 10k consistently with an improv rotation.
I got the 25 might stacks down at least..

I am also using rabid/sinister weapons as I don’t have the crafting disciplines to make a kitten ed viper set of weapons. Everything else is vipers though.
I am also using fried golden dumplings because might.
And I’m also not using a focusing crystal. For some reason I didn’t think the dps would be this abysmal.

edit: I think I’m a moron. I didn’t put vuln on the golem. Tried again with vuln and got up to 17k. A bit better, but still pretty bad. I’m sure some food buffs will make that MUUUUCH better.

The benchmark for condi PS running aristocracy runes is 27K. The more DPS focused variant that uses berserker runes clocks in around 31K.

There’s no way for us to know what is hampering your dps output since we have no idea what your sigils, runes, gear stats (condi duration) are. But I will say that food accounts for a pretty significant chunk of your dps. If you cut corners and don’t use rare veggie pizza and toxic focusing crystals, your dps will suffer noticeably. Also, making sure you have 100% condi duration is an absolute must if you want to hit optimal dps. If you are running balthazar runes or some other combination of suboptimal runes/sigils to max out burning or bleed, then your dps will suffer as well, because aristocracy or berserker runes are far more superior.

So I do have aristocracy runes, and strength sigils. I have sigil of smouldering, and I am using fried dumplings for the food slot for an overkill of might in case things go south for whatever reason.
I want my prime directive to be upkeeping 25 might at all costs. I’ve thought about using bountiful focusing crystals to overkill it even further.
That being said my condi duration with no food buffs is 31.33%. 64.33% on bleed, 84.33% on burn.

If you have aristocracy runes and strength sigils, you’ll have an easy time maintaining 25 might. Golden fried dumplings are redundant here. Using rare veggie pizza instead of fried dumplings and using toxic focusing crystal will greatly improve your dps.

Also, using sigil of smoldering is hampering your dps. On a condi PS, you are switching weapon sets frequently enough to get great mileage out of geomancy sigils. On a glance, geomancy sigils don’t look like they’ll add much, but they are deceptively powerful.

If you are still lagging behind a wide margin after using rare veggie pizzas, focusing crystals, and geomancy sigils, then that is probably an indicator that your rotation needs work. Even considering that your weapons are not viper, with proper food, utility, and sigils you will have 94.33% bleed and burn. With that kind of condi duration, you shouldn’t be lagging behind too far.
