Im in no way saying that Im the best at DPS. That being said, in EVERY group I join, I always double everyone elses damage. I have 4-5 million damage every run. Thats half of Aksis' total health. Everyone is capable of doing what I do. Its not that Im so good at what I do... its that everyone else is just not doing all the right actions at the right time.
Gear used:
>ex machina from the raid
>dark drinker
>sniper reload gauntlets
Every LFG group always says "drop the cannons in the middle for phase 3". Thats the first thing being done wrong. When Aksis is waiting to be stunned, he cannot be critted easily. This means sleeper/snipers are almost useless. The cannon, however, can be used for 100% damage. I can usually get off 2 or 3 cannon shots (130-200k damage) while anyone not using a cannon does 0 damage during this time.
After Aksis can be critted, I drop the cannon and start firing sleeper shots at him until he teleports again. While he is teleporting, i pick the cannon up to fire another 3 shots into him before his head is showing. And repeat. By the end phase, I always have all my ammo burned except for my sniper. I finish off by firing sniper shots at him until its time to stand on the pillar.
A few additional things to note:
You can fire cannon shots at aksis as you move from one side to the next to cover empowerment
Dark drinker is more dps than sleeper but it isnt always worth having to move across the map to damage him. You lose precious damage time

3 RepliesEdited by ElTeaSweetness: 10/18/2016 10:53:13 AMI got an Event Horizon with Triple tap (four shots), BUT I've also got a 1KyS with Triple tap...five shots VS four...been stoked to run EH in the raid, but nailing five snipes before reload is dirty. My very first raid I think I surprised people with my DPS some and that gun was why. Sadly, haven't run WotM yet :( sitting at 373 as well. Can't wait though! P.S. I'd rather run primary reload gauntlets for most of the raid if I can, but maybe a quick switch over to snipe gauntlets before bosses? Any suggestions on timing that? Thanks!

People need to learn to use the super recharge slam so there's a weapons, tether, melting point etc up during the entire phase so all 27 Cannon shots are buffed.

15 RepliesThe reason the cannons are left for last is so everyone gains the buff from weapons and tether. Each cannon get get just over 1 million in the last phase with the buffs. You're not going to get anywhere near that, even with dark drinker.

Sleeper definitely does wonders against Aksis. 👍

If I had dark drinker I'd use that. Currently I'm using dogma on the 2 teleports before the third and on the third using spindle.

Nice post i usually do the same thing
-
I regularly hit 4-5.5 million only using cannons and dark drinker, it's preference, but you're right about no one doing damage before he's stunned.

At 380 light, dps jus cannot be a problem....unless you're an ungifted one hander?
