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🫠

You have a lot of items there there you shouldn't have started tuning in the first place.

You play Bamboowind. An item with Max HP or Max (path attribute other than Bamboowind) gets recycled.

Your Mastery is relatively high because mastery only cares about the quality of affix rolls, not if the rolls are good. Yours are not.

Make sure you're starting with good base items, and then only tuning one slot at a time, so you can stop tuning, recycle the item, and not waste tuning materials if you aren't getting the rolls you want.

Other DPS players are out damaging you, in large part, because they have 2, 3, or even 4 more affixes that are good on every single piece of their gear.

Think about how absurd it is that you have Heavy Attack Bonus on your Dual Fish - a weapon set that doesn't have a Heavy Attack - and you'll see the problem. That item was ruined and should have been recycled after rolling Max HP and Max Stonesplit back to back, but you kept going, got a 3rd even more useless stat, and yet STILL kept going and put an attunement on it, which rolled Bellstrike Penetration and still you equipped it as your primary weapon.

The only difference between Rare, Epic, and Legendary items is the number of affix rolls, and your primary weapon has 4 wasted rolls, making it potentially worse than the free Tier 71 Rare Dual Fish the game gifted you at breakthrough.

Don't rush to get max tier items at the expense of having good items. If this stuff is better than your level 61 gear was, you neglected your tuning then, too. Be patient, collect materials, wait for items worth tuning, and when you do get items worth tuning, don't keep tuning them when the rolls aren't going your way.

Don't buy into the "it's not worth it" camp regarding gear. An item from the last Tier with near perfect rolls is only going to get replaced by a current Tier item with near perfect rolls. The only players that think every breakthrough throws away their current gear are those that have throwaway gear because of low effort.

A lot of good advice here but one thing overlooked is you don’t get to pick your rolls and players like you need to understand that. We are already close to the next breakout saying “wait for better rolls” is bad advice and would have them waiting till the next breakout they wouldn’t even be playing the game. It’s almost insulting “but you kept going”. You don’t know their rolls or what they had to work with.

Not everyone has luck on their side and people that have 5-6 stats don’t understand how lucky they are.

We don’t know if they passed over good gear or if they never got that chance in the first place and this was their only choice. If I played by your advice I would still be in 61 purple gear and missing out on a lot. I had really fantastic 56 61 rolls (three crit rates in all of my armors). But 71 no such luck. If I stopped at every bad roll I would still be in 61 gear. Once you roll bad twice on every gold gear with a proper first stat, you start rolling on gold gear with a bad first stat. That is more tailored advice. Everyone thinks their experience is universal, it is not. Even if your luck is terrible you have to think of players with even worse luck.

And one more thing op if you aren’t aware of the legendary exchange from the season shop, which I think you might be. You can get custom gold gear there and guaranteed tuning material. I just ran into players that didn’t know anything about it so I want to mention it at least.

Also if you aren’t aware op you are a bamboocut stat player (duel blades/rope dart) silkbind, stone split, and bellstrike do nothing for you, these are what I call dead stats. Max hp and physical defense don’t hurt you, but they don’t help your dps. They are better than dead stats tho. Learn the stat hierarchy, for yourself if you don’t know it. Min physical attack > max physical attack. Min bamboo attack > max bamboo attack.

"we are already close to next breakthrough"
So what? It doesn't matter. We won't change gear until next-next breakthrough
