Damage improvement question in raids

[chilly arch]

Hey I was just wondering what ways are there to improve damage besides having a weapon surge and for example well?

I was trying to complete a master witness cp earlier and for some reason I was hitting only 3.5mil while having equipped 2 arc surges with queens breaker and using well to get radiance. I had supremacy as the backup weapon for damage.

Is there anything else I could do to improve it

you could 1) find a better rotation 2) use triple surges on your main dps weapon 3) prep some heavy ammo bricks and shoot them with a shoot to loot weapon during dps so you can keep using your heavy

+you're not using a damage super, so all of your damage comes from your weapons only

it's ok if you do less than everyone else while on well if everyone's using the same weapon loadout

also, even if you don't swap to an arc super after popping well, still put on sanguine alchemy, it's a free 10% damage increase for you by just being in a well

even better pop your well and swap to a loadout with sanguine, prismatic with facet of solitude and an arc super equipped

you can run 3 surges

OH okay that makes sense why other warlocks were popping that on. The other warlocks were popping 4mil to 6mil while having that exotic on

I never thought of that exotic being good for dps and only being good for extending stuff so ill definitely need to learn that

it got a big rework

gives free 4x surges (which is burger, only a 3% increase over 3x but its free so you can run other surges) and bonus damage while in a rift

have to match super element with your weapon, but you can swap to prismatic after popping well, or use the element in question

for the prismatic swap, just make sure you have prismatic ready with the right damage element and then swap after popping well (you can do this before dps actually starts, during various animations)

and then if you have facet of courage (better light ability damage to dark debuffed targets) with your own well (weapon damage counts as super damage inside a WoR) you get another free 10%

Also you can run geomags and loadout swap to sanguine after chaos reach and then swap back after dps if you dont 1phase
