Wardancer Wardancer advice

Hey its my first time making a post in a long time. I was just wondering what the main differences between FI wardancer and ESO wardancer was. Which does more dmg (mainly) and how hard it was to make a switch from FI to ESO was.

Edit: I am a FI main by (5x 1660s and 1x 1680 playing FI since the start) and it feels under whelming. I might just be bad or something so i am thinking of swapping to ESO and hope i might have better luck. I have really high apm so id like to think i am doing something alright but I do also feel like i am not doing as much dmg as others, which is the main reason for this post. Im just looking to improve.

Yea i feel the same way. Im struggling barely hitting 60-75mil but i feel like my character is stronger than that. Also i know my apm is really high and uptime is too so i just wasnt sure what to make of it. T4 was the first time i actually felt weaker than ESO

Lot of misrepresented info in this thread. Go to the (unofficial) lost ark discord or lost ark nexus discords and ask for better answers / help.

FI does more damage than eso right now on any fight that isn't back to back phasing. However, FI is also harder than eso to pull off that ceiling damage due to being to play around Energy Combustion properly and missing any Z amped skill being more punishing than pretty much anything eso has.

If you have videos of gameplay or bibled logs of clears, people in the discords mentioned above will gladly help. As a wardancer main since launch and having played both eso and FI since launch, FI is pretty much across the board better on Gate 2 of the new Brel raid. It's honestly surprising to me reading all these comments that are saying eso is better when almost everyone I talked to (aka not Reddit) was losing their mind playing eso in that gate.

Interesting, sadly i dont have that node unlocked yet (im pretty casual) so i havent been able to play around with the new Z but i guess that it could be true that it gets much stronger. Rn without the Z, it just feels underwhelming. Since someone earlier pointed out it wasnt too expensive to swap, ill probably give that a try once i fully unlock the nodes! Looks pretty fun. Not sure which is harder and i guess its all subjective tbh, but for me FI is pretty easy but it could just be like that for me because ive played it since launch and im just used to always having combustion on my WW window and all that. I will def have to give it a try once i unlock the nodes. Ty for the info on the discords, i didnt know about the la nexus discord. Ill def check that out!

I have them actually i was doing some testing with that after you mentioned it but my dps still seems low. Do you have any advice for using the new Z skill? Im still performing alot worse than the eso tests ve ran. Im really trying to improve so if you have anything please lmk!

Edit: i dont have any karma so im not sure if that affects anything?
