being new to the raid side or even experts. think I have ran  2 of the 10 experts befor old guild departed ROF and runic. I feel My ger is low but I just don't know any better.

health 4742

armor 2603(t-1?)

int 489

SP 936

SC 665

focus 190

 

 I'd like to try slivers and more experts. but I don't want to be a burden( weak link) was informed in runic that my DPS  is low. as I don't optimizre my builds. Just wondering what my stat will allow me to do? So that I can be more active

I'm guessing these stats are for your Mage, Kodama? The most common Mage DPS build, at the moment, if the 36/30 pyrolock; it's a lot of dot management, though, and a 51 pyro/5 archon/ whatever might work out better for you. In either case, bluedots.org has a whole bunch of Mage resources you might find useful- theory crafting, builds, etc. Statwise, your 190 focus puts you firmly in the Expert Dungeon branch of instances. You might be able to rune up to the 220 focus most leaders require for T1 raids (GSB, RoS, GP, DH) but at the moment, you're still a little spell power light- I'd recommend 1100-1200 SP before you do anything other than archon, but that's a very specialized position. When you say your DPS is low... it could be gear, rotation, or spec. Rotation's pretty easy to fix, but takes some time on the dummies; spec requires learning the new abilities AND rotation. If you're running a parser, even a quick-and-dirty one like Simple Meter, it'll give you an idea how you do. I wasn't pushing over 1k until I got all the way through DH and GP a few times. I still parse relatively low for my gear, but that goes back to build and rotation. As far as gear goes... Have you looked at the Marketplace section on the site, here? You'd have to participate for a bit before you could actually submit an order, but vault credits stack up fast, and you could order yourself some crafted gear. tl;dr: Mess with your builds some, find something that's fun for you to play and does decent DPS, and keep doing experts- you'll get there.

as far as a fun build the one I have been playing from beta is a cloro/ele/archon 34/30/0 I know it is a heal build but I love to solo with it or walk into a rift and help. I will look at the 51/5 but is this all not moot till after 1.11 as far as builds? Think this is also what has been holding me back. I know on the warrior side I still love the BM but the builds I have been testing all come up tank,something I've never done. Guess I'll jump in on the expert random calls and see how it goes.

Yeah, you're right- as soon as SL drops, all the builds are going to be scrapped. Well, most of them, anyway; my personal dps build will still work as intended, but then, it also goes a lot further into archon than most dps builds do. As someone who chloros a lot... unless you're healing, you probably shouldn't be running chloro in your build for a dungeon. Works great as a survival spec, but not so much in instances; it sounds very support-y. Elementalist, also, is, at the moment, you only rarely see in instance builds. I have a little in my chloro spec for the reduced damage, but that's really about it. I can't speak for the warrior side, though- mine's level 14 and likely to stay there indefinitely.

The support aspect appeals to me. My definition of support was buff/debuff and heal so I was going cloro and archon necro at first then was informed I was trying to do to much and needed either a 51 archon or a 51 cloro. Have the full archon but never went full chloro. so I drifted and picked up warrior you are either DPS or tank. think I like the simpler side. but as I am not a mobile player the mage stand off suited me. We shall see were SL brings me the new stuff in 1.11 is great ad excited about the souls in SL.
