#Underperforming as MM in keys.

I'm underperforming as a m+ pugger at ilvl 623 and I'm not sure if I'm doing something egregiously wrong or we're just that sensitive to how much the tank pulls / how they pull. I've done a sub 1.2m overall dps in a +9 SV which is pathetic (ret pally and assa rogue were around 1.55m), though in places with more fixed pulls like Mists or NW I'll do around 1.6m even on a 10 key, which is close enough to the other DPS that I don't feel like I'm griefing for not going Surv. I have suboptimal hero trinkets (candle and ritual knife) which I really don't want to waste gilded crests on, but they sim better than skardyn's / sacbrood even at maxed hero track, so it can't be that, or the sim is wrong. Other than that, my gear is fine, as I'm following azor's guide like it's the hunter's bible (because it is). Also, I'm happy with the survivability side of things.

I'm so close to KSH that I don't want to give up now, but getting gapped by the other DPS is really disheartening, especially with how long I have to sit in the queue. I hope it's a skill issue rather than a tanking style issue, because as a pugger at least the former can be fixed.

I feel like we definitely do need planned pulls especially since we’re target capped, it’s also hard to plan CDs if a tank is pulling only small packs etc. everytime. Also aren’t we like at the bottom of the barrel in damage? Obviously I’m sure you’re underperforming but don’t be too stressed if other dps beat you on the meters. I’m still choosing skardyns since it’s great with TS and if the tank is pulling big packs and you have those 2 up the damage goes boooooooommmmm lol but then again I’m only doing 12s / 13s

its not possible for skardyn to sim less than the trinkets you said

#

skardyn its the overall bis for mm especially in m+

I don't have skardyn's or sacbrood so this is all moot, but since I upgraded a couple things since reset I decided to rerun the sim. A 626 skardyn's grace is on par with my 619 candle on all 3 sims I ran (patchwerk 1, 3 and 5 bosses), and 0.2-0.4% better than the 619 knife. It's marginally worse than a 626 knife on all 3 sims. But because these delve trinkets can't go above 626, naturally they're outmatched by many 639 trinkets.
