I'm playing a level 70 SW. Roughly 12000 power, 7000 crit, 6000 ap. 63% RI. I melt everything in regular play. My problem is that I don't even put a dent in dragons or larger heroics like tiamat. What do I need to do?

    build up more offense stats and rework your build if needed.

    What IL are you? Because I'm also a SW, and at 2500 I can mostly solo Vilithrax.

    High ranking Bonding stones will make a lot of difference, 3x Rank 8 is comparable to an augment, but with more benefits from CA, active bonus and so on.

    Yeah point for point you get more value upgrading your companion bondings & gear than you do upgrading yourself. You should also get companions that add % damage increase as their active bonus; e.g. the air archon.

    Yeah. I spent many months wondering what the hell I was doing wrong and someone here said "Bonding".
    3 rank 8's later and my TR was on a whole new level of DPS.
    And, of course, the (IMHO) grossly imbalanced Guild Boons.

    Yes please...

    Do the bonding stones only apply to your summoned companion or any of them?
    Thanks for the input everyone!

    2975? You should be able to melt anything!

    You're not using Soul Puppets and the related Paragon are you? I was using that before forum users informed me it was next to useless now, and that Life Steal is a MUST. Now I'm wrecking everything with not a soul puppet in sight. Add to my insane Lifesteal the Dread Ring boon that triples the stolen amount occasionally, and I'm virtually undefeatable. Except Chryseos in Dragonflight...he hates me.

    Yes, they only work on your summoned companion. The only benefit you get from the other 4 is the Active Bonus.
