Went back and improved my sweeps weaving to be able to do 5 Sweeps (technically 4.5) in 1 Purifying Light. I'll leave some quick info below on how I practiced sweeps weaving.

High: 115K
Average: 113K
Low: 110K

I also did a few parses in Pillar Of Nirn (with Bahsei). My highest out of 5 parses was 111K, though 112 should be possible with more luck.

EDIT Jan. 22: I just got Deadly and tried 5 parses which were all ~109K so I'm assuming on console the ceiling is 111K-112K (same as Pillar).

^It seems the consensus is to run Deadly in trials unless a boss fight is long enough for Kinras to outperform. Pillar might be a good substitute if you don't have Deadly. Kinras should perform higher if a fight takes longer than ~35 secs AND you never drop Kinras buff. In casual runs however, feel free to run what you want.

----- Sweeps Practice -----

First off, if you're on PC I highly recommend getting a weaving metronome (is that what theyre called?) add-on. It'll let you know exactly when to Light Attack (LA).

On console it's a bit more difficult but not too bad once you get used to the rhythm. I recommend just spamming sweeps on a dummy over and over and finding that exact timing where you can LA. The exact timing is somewhere around the third strike of sweeps, right before your character lunges for the 4th strike.

I tend to watch my Kinras buff timer; whenever I see it refresh, I know my LA went off. Try to play with the timing and do faster and faster weaving. If your LA didn't go off, then you probably went too fast. Slow it down a little. Once you find that sweet spot, try to make it consistent. Eventually you'll be able to do it based off of feel.

Try to add in a few skills into your sweeps practice too. Casting Purifying Light or Trap mid-sweeps is a bit weird at first. After that, parsing is mostly just a rhythm game and praying for beam crits.
