Hi all!
I tend to like to play support and when I'm in groups I feel like I do pretty well as a NB healer. I've also played around a bit with tanking and I feel not completely horrible with my current set-up.
DPS is another matter though. As I'm going through quests mostly solo (odd playing times and instancing makes grouping less appealing sometimes) I'm having these epic battles against V1 or V2 NPCs thinking I'm studly when a DK, Sorc, or Temp hops in and just annihilates stuff I've been heroically whacking on for the past minute or two. Telling myself "well I softened them up first" only works so often when that same DK/Sorc/Temp proceeds to the next group and takes them all out just as fast. *sigh*
Ok, so obviously my ability bars that are set up for healing and a bit of tanking aren't ideal for DPS. I tried messing around a little to leave a bar for healing and the second for doing DPS and although I was doing some more DPS I was also dying more than killing. And the DPS I was doing still paled in comparison to what I'm seeing other people do.
Is there a NB DPS build that can come even close to the people that mock me with their godly might and that won't die instantly if sneezed on?
Here's my current build at V2. Decent healing and tanking but sucky DPS build of DOOOOOM
I have points scattered around in other areas as well as I've played around with other ideas. I figure if there's a nice DPS build I can use Wykkyd's outfitter to switch between that DPS build and my current build which works fairly well in groups.
edit: I should state that I'm fine with any DPS method although given the choice between sneaky and non-sneaky I prefer non-sneaky. Cool-down invis and sneaking around just annoys me sometimes.
