Tempest ranger r10

So right now I notice my damage really drops off R8-R10.  When I spec Fatesinger my Melee power is about 225-250 standing before any battle affects or reaper points.  (I have max melee power reaper points added to that).  My str is high 90’s -105 depending on twists and gear.  When I’m fighting a doom on R10 my hits are for like 100-150 main damage not including any other effects or sneak damage.   So what am I missing to do more damage here.  My spec 45 tempest/26 DWS/ 8 Harper/16 aasimar.   I have all lives and 79RP.

I started noticing the lack of damage after they modified reapers about 2 months ago or whatever the recent change was where there were more reapers spawning.  Is it just the limitations of the spec or does anyone see any glaring stat deficiencies? 

I have been playing alts that all about 15ish etrs and some have a few tr’s and the ranged classes do much more damage at only 10-15 rp. The ranger ranger does more damage, the thf barb does more and the mech rogue does more.   Any other twf chars have any comparable damage numbers against r10 doom and your related stats?

For comparison, when raiding on DD on LH or KT I hit regularly from 1-2k and with the right rebuffs 3k main damage and about another 1-2k in sneak and battle damage per hit.  I know it’s not apples to apples but man what a huge difference.

Personally, I use a mythic 4 Soulrazor on my mainhand, while on offhand swap outs include another mythic 4 Soulrazor, mythic 4 Reflection of Whelm, The Bitter Edge, LGS Affirmation, Salt, Ooze & Dust longswords.

Right now, my STR is 110 in reaper and my damage really isn’t all that much more than yours at R8-10.  Then again, tempests don’t get the big damage numbers other classes get.

I do find myself wondering why you put 8 points in Harper, and not Falconry, which will give you +15% healing amp, an extra favored enemy, +1 ability bonus, and 30% sprint boost.

I use Harper for KTA which brings all my tactics up as high as I need em to hit dire charge in r10. Plus the damage. 

Big, khopesh and dust?

Still using an Untold in the main with a Dust Battle Axe in the off.

With with Headsman's Chop the damage is about the same as the Wicked Blade.

Exactly, but I'm okay with the DPS (16-22 second kobolds in LD with no shenanigans).  You get the most swings which is where the damage comes from.

Though with the new changes I'm wondering if Fighter might be back on the menu for TWFing.

Big, I forgot that I did just get the untold.  I’ll mess around with that for awhile.  You use that over the wicked blade?  And what is your melee power with LD?  I went Fatesinger for the extra str and melee power.

Fighter will be better, but you've rocked tempest too long to make a change now. They should've just called it the Big Junk tree, but Arkat gets a belt.

Ok, so out of curiosity, what does that put your dire charge DC at?

Yeah, I can see how that’d boost you up.  Your INT must be about 40 or so then?
