What damage do you guys do on epic???

When you'r on Epic difficulty and your character is lets say somewhere between level 40-50 then what damage are you doing with your weapon? My damage is 690 with a bow, is that considered good?

As a reference: My conjurer of level 56, does about 2300 dps. With every extra point of intellegence this increases more and more!
Of course i love the beasts in the outskirts of Babylon, they gave me a really good staff! :mischief:

It also helps to have a very high attack speed. My damage is nearly double because of my attack speed right now, and I'm in Babylon normal.

My current damage for where I'm at is 95, kind of on the low side of things. BUT, my attack speed with all of the modifications and armor and even a new artifact I just got bring my attack speed up to 185%. This nearly doubled my damage and it's currently at 176 Damage Per Second.

Though I will say that if you spend time on attack speed, invest in some rings or armor that bring slow resistance, because being slowed will most certainly affect your damage per second.

If you can kill the monsters than your damage is good. If not then bad

I'm in legendary orient and I only do around 950 with my spear but most of my damage comes from traps, wolves, plague.

My Brigand (Hunter/Rouge) is now level 56 and doing around 1400DPS. It hasn't gone up huge amounts in the higher levels though, I was probably between 850-1000DPS through epic.

I agree with the previous poster about attack speed though. Especially when you have to make a strategic retreat. A high attack speed will allow you to spin around and take quick shots as you retreat, if you have a high damage but low attack speed you will probably be mobbed again before you can take the shot.

It does help to have some sort of crowd control when using a bow as well. I am using envenom weapon from the Rouge tree, I only have one point in the base envenom weapon but have added the Mandrake skill as this causes confusion and fumble attacks (and thereby stops me being mobbed).

Well...I'm a 51 warfare chara,I'm in Epic Hades...I'm doing 1100DPS,while I'm in battle rage and Onslaght,I'm doing 1400-1500(not counting the adjacent atks)and with criticals..I'm 3000.
The only downside is that I need to continually drink health potions(my HP is 4500)
I saw a Diviner(Dream+Nature) killing mobs like it was nothing(And she was 46lv in Epic Hades)....well.I'm gonna try Dream Mastery too....

I was wrong when I posted my damage before, my DPS is at 1104, what I posted before was average damage

But yeah as long as you'r killing monsters and my arrows go through them like a knife through butter, typhon on epic is dead in no time although he allways drops crap

gustaveau · Post by **gustaveau** » Thu Mar 15, 2007 11:32 am

even in the expansion he goes down like crap? I still have to beat him, but i tried a few times in normal, and he was much more difficult then before! (before is patch 1.08)

As a 60 rogue/defense my normal DPS is around 5600, max hit I've had so far is 32000ish. However the class can't take much of a beating so need to be careful on legendary so you don't die.

gustaveau · Post by **gustaveau** » Sat Mar 31, 2007 3:21 am

My conjurer right now is at lvl 60 and does almost 4000 dps. I'm still waiting for a new staff....

What character type are you?

sonarghost · Post by **sonarghost** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 4:04 pm

I am a lvl 52 conquerer and do over 1700 dps which is pretty good for this lvl melee character. I had to really dope up on items which increase attack speed to get this high number though!

deadsenator · Post by **deadsenator** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 12:44 pm

lvl 51 epic earth/spirit conjurer dps = 500

How the heck do you's guys get your dps up so high??? I have been trying to get matched sets of gear, but only can get two of anything paired (currently Battlemage), which is very frustrating. I spend hours looking for staffs and putting relics on them that I think are the right ones. I find very few magical staffs. I find tons of magical shields and armor that I cannot use. I use the three-prong attack with my staff and thankfully, my Liche King and Coredweller help distract mobs, so I can hold my own, but since I have now started the Hades maps, it is very slow going. Heck, the crabs on the beach slow me down!

I just redid a farming run in Wusao Caverns and Mount Olympus, but having died several times and only finding one item (which was virtually the same crown I already had), the run was less than fruitless. In fact, I spent tons of money on scrolls to augment my abilities, so I came out behind on cash.

Argh.

deadsenator · Post by **deadsenator** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 1:02 pm

Incidentally, I have my Liche King maxed out as well as ternion in Spirit. I am working on maxing my Coredweller and have Earth Enchantment and Ring of Flame already maxed.

LOL, 1,7k is nothing. My lvl 62 conq does 5k in base dps(base=without onslaught, adrenaline etc.) using green weapon and shield. Does look to fancy, but efficient!

Make sure you activate EE! What staff do you use? Why max ring of flame?

well, never liked conjurer anyway

Thanks for the less than helpful post, Tyler.

I suppose you've been an expert at TQ forever? Get off your l337 horse and offer some help instead of calling me a noob. Since I am lvl 52 in Hades on Epic, I think I'm a bit past the noob stage, I have just never dug deeper on the items and staffs and am attempting to do so now to engage the game further. In this thread I am attempting to find out how to increase my DPS not listen to braggarts.

To address your more helpful post, Ring of Flame helps when the mobs aggro all around and yes, of course EE is always on. I am currently using the Rod of the Ancients for a staff. It's not so bad, but I know I can do better. If I can find the rest of the Battlemage items that would help.

Peace.

Durden please refrain from such comments. I am sure there are some in here who can put you to shame in your knowledge of the game as well.

deadsenator · Post by **deadsenator** » Fri Apr 06, 2007 12:54 pm

Update: With some newfound purple leggings and torso armor combined with a new staff, I have been able to bump my DPS to 650. Still far below what I see others being able to do, but at least now I am not gulping health like crazy. I think I have given up on the Battlemage armor set, since I have replaced it with these new purple items. I'd just like to find a purple staff. I found a Majestic chest that is very close to a spawn point, so I'll do a few farm runs there.

gustaveau · Post by **gustaveau** » Sat Apr 07, 2007 9:19 am

i have 1 good farming tip for you:
Try the area around the 2nd waypoint of the 3rd act. Like the farms of babylon. Here are a few purple monsters with different kinds of items, also staves!!
There is a good change that one of the magicians will drop a green stave with good modifiers.

And of course 1 other thing, if you have EE always make sure your stave does FIRE base damage or the enchantment will not work!!

Hope this will be of any help to you. For me, i got a good stave over there and i put an relic with "X% of attack damage converted to health, in my stave, and it is a huge difference with health potions!
