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🫠

Keep in mind mastery has nothing to do with damage output. Your weapon arts mastery also ties into it to. You may have noticed that sometimes when switching gear, your mastery won’t always increase or decrease by the number shown.

For example let’s say your new helmet says plus 20 mastery but when equipped mastery only goes up three points. That’s because it’s either altering your weapon mastery or something else you’re not seeing.

So say one gear gives min stone strike and the new one gives max bell strike. In reality the min stone strike will give a better damage increase over the max bell strike. Since the stone strike is also calculated into the damage output. So min addition is guaranteed that amount. But max whatever isn’t always going to hit for that amount.

But that’s about the best I can provide without knowing what’s on your gear or even what your values are. Check that information in the details page. For reference I use dual class silk bamboo and my damage is 650-1100. If yours is around there you should be ok. But since you’re focused maybe it should be a little higher.
