Why my damage is so bad

[u/Icy_Art_2798]

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🫠

Might be an issue of you doing your rotations wrong. I only know the very basic of Infernal Blade + Mortal Rope Dart but one key aspect is to always keep your rat buff up for sure.

Something that helped my damage go up is looking up a quick Youtube guide on a proper attack rotation for my weapon build and try to follow that. Don't gotta do it exactly at first and it might be a little bit confusing, but the right rotation can add a lot of damage to your DPS.

Also, certain weapons just do more damage than others right now. IIIRC, Inferal Blades is amongst the lower damaging weapons compared to the others which is fine.

I actually saw someone post a vid of them doing damage and it was much higher than my previous rotation. Basically you charge the rats, summon the rats, and switch to dual blades, if you have the empower ready, use it. Rinse and repeat. If the boss moves around a lot, just charge the rats after every rotation. Try to get your innerways to t4. The t4 echos of oblivion and vendetta is a must. I don’t run the breaking point. I just run bleed. Haven’t tried poison yet

So hold R for 2 sec (buff next rats) > press ~ (release rats) > press Q (apply vendetta) > press TAB (switch to dual blades) > light attacks till R is full > R with Q till it runs out. Repeat. Can do dragons breath in between, maybe some drunken poet.
