How can I become a better DPS warrior?
Hi, I've been maining warrior dps for a while now and I've been doing my best to become better and better. However, I keep noticing that there are still better players than me (both other warriors and non-warriors), with the same gear as me or worse. I tried to search for different tips and advice for a better warrior dps play on both google and youtube, but I really can't find much more that I wouldn't already know. Also, I haven't found such a thread on the forums, that's why I'm posting it: to get help for both myself but also other warriors who have the same issue and seek help.
Now, whenever i play a dungeon, I really try my best to pay attention to my mistakes, so I learn to not repeat them again (rotation-wise). I've done this for a while now, so I don't find myself doing any mistakes almost at all at this point. Also, because I've played this class so much I came up with my own '"rotation" that I think is most effective (I basically have a priority list of skills to chain into bladedraw, which is : 1. Charge -> BD, 2. Rising Fury -> BD, 3. Combative Strike + Traverse Cut + BD. I always try to find the fastest way possible to get 3 edge. I always start off the fight with Backstab -> Combative Strike -> Traverse Cut -> BD, to get the attack speed buff already at the start, and I always make sure to keep the buff up by using Combative Strike -> Traverse Cut (I hit once and chain into BD asap) -> BD. Additionally, I'll always iframe with evasion rather than Death from Above, so I can get the additional attack speed glyph from it). Still, I sometimes see other dps players that are better than me or just as good, even with worse gear than me (i have +0 stormcry weapon, full dyads).
My individual damage lies usually around 2 million in 431 item-level-dungeon (so at the moment: Lilith's Keep (normal mode), Thaumetal Refinery (normal mode) and Kalivan's Dreadnaught). My ping lies at around 120-150. I always switch my setup depending on what healer i run a dungeon with, so I have the correct crit cap and so I can deal as much dmg as I can.
This all is very frustrating, as I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, and I'd love to become a better dps warrior (I really like the class). I've watched a few korean Tera warrior players on youtube (I was recommended learning from korean players), and I've always wondered how their play is so clean, fast and flawless. I'd apprieciate help a lot, thank you!

Also I do want to trust to say that you know what you are doing, but that doesn't really cut it unless we actually see how you perform. Since you said your ping is 120-150, you are basically hurting yourself. You need like 10-30ms ping to play like a true pro.
Your party plays a big role on your DPS. You need a static group in order to see consistent results because you always going to run into a tank or healer who doesn't know how to increase your DPS that well. Also you need to play harder dungeons like RKE to truly test yourself instead of weak dungeons that nobody bothers to parse in.
ah thank you so much! i'll be sure to check it out
yeah I thought about the ping difference as well when I was watching KTERA, i just thought that maybe there would be something in their rotation that I don't do. but thank you so much for help, really apprieciate it
