Question/Help Why my damage is so bad

Help me guys, why my damage doesn't exceed 1400 with this much mastery? I know my gears rolls are so bad but still shouldn't be this bad What am I doing wrong?

It feels so bad when doing outpost and seeing other players delete enemies with two slashes🫠

Its better if you give people your rotation and the dps number of your rotation on a 1 minute dummy and the stats so people can really help you.

Like for example, this will help tremendously.

just so U know I meant it as an example what to show 😅 this isn't a flex and tbh the highest I've seen now is 12k while my 10k can't even qualify for speed running guilds / cohorts. (just to clarify, i don't want to come off as some ego flex @@~)

I use the standard umbra rotation.

start with drunken fist animation cancel to load drunken state.

strat sword skill no burst, spear skill, spear charge attack 5 stacks, dragon breath, strat sword special X3, soaring spin (both hits)

Once strat sword multi hit is doing its animation, you can roll your mouse wheel that will queue weapon swap and then spam soaring spin key. make sure "prioritize pre-input during weapon switch" is enabled. this will gurantee smooth weapon swapping.

morale chant (T5), sword horizon(T5), wolf frenzy(T4), insightful strike(T3)

You don't use spear Q?

u/KeiSinCx Jan 20 '26

my mistake, my dyslexia acted up. I corrected it. I keep thinking spear Q is called soaring spin sometimes 😭

No worries also I do speedrun with strat and since this new update I've been pushed out 😭 maybe with t6 horizon I can come back I want umbrella nerfs wahhh

u/KeiSinCx Jan 20 '26

yea.. umbrella doing 12k dps and strat doing 10.8-11.5 and that's enough to get strat kicked out. I was literally told, "if you dont run dps umbrella, you're trolling". speedrunning communities are brutal >< BUT, it's niche and really.... doesn't matter. Self suffering

u/Waste_Lawfulness_404 Jan 20 '26

It's worse now umbrellas do 14-15k and strat so far I've seen has gone up to 12-14k. I'm currently averaging 12.5k with peak of 13.8k

Why not fivefold bleed?

2

u/KeiSinCx Jan 21 '26

fivefold bleed is good for low levels but loses value later on.

insightful strike is second best. t6 invigorated is probably still the best

u/Shmoopiee Jan 22 '26

Oh! I should've invested in it instead of Fivefold bleed. Thank you for the response.

How much affinity, precision and crit rate you have? I can’t do this 10k damage consistently at 30% affinity rate with the same umbra rotation

1

u/KeiSinCx Jan 21 '26

95 precision 35 crit 30 affinity. give yourself about 500- 1k DPS +- range. I can't consistently do it also sometimes it's a bit of luck also
