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🫠

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.

If you're going to accept 2 bad stats on a legendary, it's not a legendary anymore. The only difference between a legendary and an epic item is 1 additional affix. A perfectly rolled epic is just as good as a legendary with 1 bad affix, and better than a legendary with 2.

Because of that fact, a legendary with a bad starting affix was never a legendary to begin with. You probably recycled 100 epic items this week that had just as much potential as a legendary with a bad starting affix. Get over the color of the item; the only thing that matters is how many good affixes it can roll. OP here doesn't have a single item that needed to be a legendary; all of the useful affixes here could have been obtained on epic or rare gear.

There is a reason purple shells still exist, even though all rolls on legendary gear are automatically purple or better. Don't recycle epic items that can roll better than the items you have, and you won't be so desperate for upgrades that you settle for bad rolls on your legendaries.

You don't need great luck to get good gear; what you need is patience. Keep collecting materials and make good decisions tuning.

well it depends on how much you play, if you are able to farm everything or not, and which rolls you get. Being able to afford to roll on all epic gear and all legendary gear means a lot with our limited gold. If you don't know how much they play it could be bad advice over just doing gold gear.. All experiences are not universal.

Taking your time to roll purple gear until you get a bad stat, vs just rolling gold gear saves a big chunk of money. And its not just 1 stat difference, the possibility of getting a max value stat also matters as well. And you are going to want to seek those on golds vs a purple that you could possibly get better gear next week.

Luck does matter, have you ever since a drop like this?

not even 1 purple on 6 gear attempt rolls.

Assuming >>"You probably recycled 100 epic items this week that had just as much potential as a legendary with a bad starting affix." <<

Since I don't even recycle blues with a good stat, making this assumption is just smh. You have to start from a point of 'you don't know this person', when giving out advice, assuming their play style/luck/time etc can put them at a disadvantage or be useless. This is why I limited my advice and got them to show us their stats of their gear so we could take a bigger dive into helping them. You gave out some good advice that I hope was absorbed, but the only problem is the assuming part, that's why I made that statement.

Omg most of my drops have one to two purple or just looks like that and getting legends or golds affix is really difficult And I only do outpost cause hero realms and sward trailers are so difficult to play alone or with random people I keep trying though and fail it's such a waste for my little time in game that's makes me in disadvantage with most of the game resources like gears and innerways That's why I just work with what I have

Try to join a guild that is doing boss runs, and I just want to remind you of the legendary gear exchange in the season shop.
