Need an advice about a valkyrie

Hey,

I'm a returning player and decided to make myself a dps, just to get used back to the game.
Once I got my valk to 65lvl, I followed the guide on EssentialMana (https://www.essentialmana.com/valkyrie-guide/) closely, as it seemed to be fairly reasonable.

And I was just informed during a dungeon that I made just 8% of a whole damage.

I attack from behind. I use ragnarok as often as it's possible.
I die so horribly often. And I apparently make just 8% of a damage.

I honestly don't know, what can I do to fix this character.
My mains are priest and warrior. Over the years I played many other classes. I thought I had fairly good idea how to deal with dps character.
I guess I was wrong.
Help?

    good warrior are broken now, valkyrie be nerf next paches soo dont worry about 8% now
  • @Margarethe - tier 10, masterworked. But I can already get on Dreadnaught.
    Valkyrie seemed like real fun, but the idea that I'm actually useless to the party and that they wouldn't notice the difference if I would be there or not is really disheartening.

    @StevenAnthony - what do you mean? I haven't tried to play my warrior yet (need to gear up everyone), are they still so weak that they don't really matter? XD I don't particularly care, I love this class nonetheless, I'm just curious.
    And isn't nerfing a class same as weakening them? does that mean that my valk is going to be even more useless?

    Warrior is only second to Valkyrie when comes to max possible DPS.

    Practice your Ragnarok rotation. Are you consistently getting off 3 Shining Crescents per Ragnarok (with enough attack speed of course)? Are they all powerlinked with Spinning Death and Backstab?

    Valkryies scale very hard off of having good gear because of T4 Energetic Etchings. You also require a CDR line on your weapon to have a proper Ragnarok rotation. This goes without saying but you also require all your master glyphs.

    As for outside of Ragnarok, are you wasting your Leaping Slash resets/not getting them on skills like Dream Slash? Are you regularly using your Evasions to proc Perfect Evasions (even going as far as rolling in front of the boss and back) and resetting your Bloodflower for even more Ragnarok?
  • If you rolled all of your gear to the lines that that page suggested, have all the right crystals and are using a crystalbind, it sounds like the dying a lot might be your issue more than anything. If you're returning you might not be used to the mechanics yet so if I were you I would cut yourself some slack for a few runs until you pick up on when to dodge.
  • @Victorpresti - oooh! Not sorcerer?

    @Obs - I usually get only 2 crescents per ragnarok, I knew I was doing something wrong. I'll look into the rotations, thank you. What's a CDR?
    Perfect evasions - yes. I was always fairly good with that, so it's really useful on valk now.

    @Poofcat - thank you, you're lovely.
  • "I die so horribly often".

    So that is where i would start fixing.

    well, best advice to give would be.......... Don't die? idk that's all on you buddy. when you're dead you do 0 dps. die less, dps more. /shrug

    otherwise make sure you have the powerlink glyph for shining crescent that chains off backstab. gg ez
