I was away from legion for over a year, I came back recently and am astonishingly weak. My frost dps is right under a million dps, where an arcane mage next to me on the target dummies spiked at 4million dps with cooldowns and averaged 2 million dps.
Double damage seems like a big leap over where I am.
I have the legendary chest and shard of the exodar and that is about it aside from weapons (which are maxed for ap now with the free ap available now)
The only challenge I care about is the frost challenge (that weapon color/skin looks the best), and I think it might be doable where I am, I just need to get a couple of target macros due to me being terrible at selecting targets with lots of units on screen. But since my dps is lower, it does make it more likely that I can't burst down that hand of the grave before it explodes. More damage always helps.
so should I keep trying to work on mechanics, or get my ilvl up higher first?
