Is 17k dps okay for alac-mirage build?

[Einsof.1457]

Trying to learn something new spent about an hour on the golem last night. 17.4k was the best i could muster with this build: 

Condition Alacrity Mirage Build | Mesmer Builds | Snow Crows

 

If that is too low, what are some gotchas with this build I may not be taking into account? Thank you!

Make sure you are swapping weapons, using your deception skills , and using food/utility. If you don't have the standardized boons and buffs that number is respectable.

17k is too low for that build. You should be aiming for 24k to get at least 80% of the benchmark. And when you learn the mechanics and rotation of condi alac mirage, try to aim for 29k or 30k. No need to grind the exact number.

Also keep in mind the Golem does not take any extra confusion damage, because it never acts.

Which is also true for any other Golem log and only relevant when comparing cross spec.

 

 

Also try to keep an eye on the confusion stacks you can apply once you ironed out the basics of the Ambush, weapon swap and Shatters. It's a relatively chill playstyle and the only difficulty should come from the delay between dodges it requires for the Clones to do what they should.

 

Considering the boons it applies and it's baseline damage and additional damage that can be gained through the Confusion effect staff Mirage is probably one of the strongest DPS specs and probably no1 in terms of specs slept on. Support Mecha rains on your parade a little bit since with it itself + quick/DPS +3 pure DPS is a comp.
