It's your skill/playstyle, not the gear/spec.

So you guys are saying that a full deception assassin should be getting to 400k regularly?

Ive got 2 crit augs to 9 power augments. I wanted to get to 30% crit rating. It sounds like I should replace those crits augs from the sarcastic responses above. So run 11 power augs?

Note: Most of the time I am queuing solo and pugging it most of the time. I rarely have heals and protection so I am dying pretty quickly.

having a healer is one of the main assets in doing scoreboard damage along with dots/aoe/more than 2 enemy healers.

any healer is fine, but a pocket healer will provide best results.

Well you should have 14 augmentation, not 11. Also with wh gear you should be around 35% crit. And 75% surge.

Gear is a factor, always. Also, as mentioned, having healers on your team and the enemy team is pretty huge.

Just know that as an Assassin you should be focusing on objectives, control, utility and Killing Blows. Especially deception which is a burst killer. Try not to focus on "getting damage" when other classes are better suited for that. Pyrotechs spam dots and still have very strong aoe. Smash is all about the aoe. Even snipers have aoe.

Focus on your ability to systematically kill key targets and take joy in your job. Don't spam aoe meaninglessly or dots to increase fluff damage. (Something most madness specs are guilty as all hell for)
