My damage output has significantly improved over the last few months however, I'm still far behind what people claims wizard should do in a raid encounter, mostly on burns: on those 60-sec burn I can only manage 140-150k ish dps, while lots of wizard claims to go over 200k and I have no idea where that extra 50k dps comes from... it should be pretty obvious, but I don't see it. My rotation on burns revolve around ethereal.. fire-weave-fire-ice-fire-etc while using force of will-fire-ice during the global cooldown. My CDs : twincast ( spell / imp. twincast), prolonged destruction, second spire, fury of ro + kerafyrm, and robe clicky ( + a ranger auspice). I usually have a bard in group ( singing Gosik, protan and va'ker) and an enchanter ( boxed, using twincast aura + mana reverb... he should be switching to amplifying aura during burns but since he's a box... the guy is usually busy elsewhere). Funeral dirge- ethereal manipulation should be up on mob I do not have a druid. I do not have T3 raid focus ( currently T2 fire focus and T1 frost focus) I do not have 6th year vet AA 9050 AAs.. so everything maxed. What am I doing wrong? is Black wolf that big? Glyph of cataclysm? Also, what would be your second and third burns? 2nd usually include arcane destruction + auspice + illusion of grandeur + enchanter 2nd spire. 3rd burn would include: bard fierce eye, spire, glyph ( or auspice) ( weak one) Thanks.
I am well behind you myself just started to raid and have no raid gear or any Rk2 spell yet.. I dont even know what my burn is - probley is very poor. i keep hitting PD on the 1st burn insteed of 2nd spire. lol i hope to fix that soon myself. have you joined the wiz site- their a post on it about what spells for 1st burn 2nd burn ect. http://elitegamerslounge.com/home/eqwizards/ http://www.elitegamerslounge.com/home/eqwizards/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=72 Phase1 (90 seconds): Wizard: Silent Casting Focus of Arcanum Fury of Kerafyrm / Fury of Ro (If the fight lasts >8 minutes save Ro for after Kerafyrm) Second Spire (250% crit damage) Glyph of Courage (15% crit chance) Spell Twincast* Improved Twincast (16 spells) Phase 2 (90 seconds): Wizard: Arcane Destruction (+40% crit chance, 16 spells) Phase 3 (240 seconds) Wizard: Prolonged Destruction*** (+49% crit chance) Spell Twincast**** Your best bet is to join the site and read the intire thing. added yea i need to fix my burn button like Moop posts maybe https://forums.station.sony.com/eq/index.php?threads/wizards-vs-dps-mercs.5479/ https://forums.station.sony.com/eq/index.php?threads/new-wiz-sof-spells-aa-questions.199422/page-2 heres an old page about burns https://forums.station.sony.com/eq/index.php?threads/what-is-your-wizard-dps-burn.3786/
That exact page has been my bible for a little while... been a while since I read it, had to be reminded about stackability issues... but still , I don't get how those 230k parses happens. Edit: going trough my old words document I found out what ''correction'' i made in that list ( glyph of courage dont stack with auspice on the first burn). 1st burn: prolonged destruction + 2nd spire + auspice ( 100% crit, 250% crit damage). 2nd burn: arcane destruction + illusions of grandeur + auspice ( 100% crit, 250% crit damage). 3rd burn: Fierce eye, bard epic, druid black wolf + enchanter 3rd spire ( 75% crit, 200% crit damage... with another auspice mixed in we'd reach the 100% crit once again, with a glyph of destruction we'd reach the 250% crit damage again*). * not sure if glyph of destruction got the same stackability issues as courage. I assume so. use spell twincast- imp twincast during the first 2 burns. the 4th burn would be available for people with intensity of the resolute but.. meh. I don't really see any fight requiring 4 different phases of burn ( real burn.. not ah '' meh, this is taking too long, hurry up people'' kind of burn)
