Ok. So as the title stated, this is basically a question about why my DPS is so low.

Heres me: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/BrakeFailure-1197/hero/2003089

Sitting at roughly 250k

And here's a comparably geared wiz: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Loroese-1415/hero/3108739

Sitting at roughly 355k.

So here's the question. Is it some minor difference in gear that I'm missing. An important stat that I've overlooked. Or is the DPS shown there dependent on something else that I'm unaware of.

The only thing that I can think of is that he's 72 paragon and I'm only 20... Could that possibly make a 100k Dmg difference?

Thanks guys.

Well, that's my profile. I have about 300 more Int, 9.5% more crit, though slightly lower CD and IAS. It's not showing the extra ring I had one which was 122 int, 9% IAS, 29% CD and 4.5% crit. That plus pinpoint barrier is the 9.5% more crit. Without that ring my actual dps would be more like 280k which is a lot closer to yours.

I also use Glass Cannon for another 12% dps or so, which ends up being around 25-30k dps.

But your int from gear is lower than mine... Did you get all that int from your paragon levels or something?

50 paragon levels = 150 int. Missing ring is another 122 int. If you look at the Int total I have 3034. You have 2771.

How many buffs do you log out with ? ^^ I only found this out recently. Depending on the buffs at logout, my armory can show anything from 140 to 300k dps ^^

I just logged out with a new ring and same build as yours. Now it's 290k vs 250k. The GC+pinpoint barrier were giving me a lot of dps. Most of the difference now is the higher Int I have, though I still have a bit more crit.

EDIT: I usually just log out with my normal buffs, MW, GC, Sparkflint, Armor, and scoundrel.

I made some changes based on what you said. Switched to pinpoint barrier as well as went with a CM build.

I don't recommend running a CMWW build with Archon gear. You have no APoC and your APS is on the low side so survivability will be an issue. You also have no LS and just 230 LoH so you'll die very easily, very fast, very often at higher MP.

So far I'm using the CM build Living lightning right now, so I don't need APoC. APS would probly help, and yeah, more lifesteal would be nice. Anyways, I'm only using it for leveling in groups to get up higher in paragon. Will probly switch back to archon for faster farming later on.

I dont see any point in running a CM build with Living lightning. You aren't procing quick enough with LL to freeze anything and you're attack speed is too low. Suboptimal.
