Is it just me being bad or are jet boots bad weapons?

So for a couple years or so i've been going on a sort of a journey. Every major update that adds a new tier of weapons i switch from the weapon i'm using to learn another one. I've gonne through most of the melee classes weapons and i'm starting going through tech weapons. My last one was wand and that one was pretty good. Even if I was playing bad and had low dmg i knew that shifta deband was doing work on my teammates in the 4 man quests.

Now for the last month and a half more or less i'm trying to learn to play jet boots and their damage feels so low. I understand that the point of this weapon is to span jetsweep jolt as fast as possible so I picked the techarts that speed up the gauge build up and focus on dodging with WA to reset the cooldown.

But even with this I feels like there is little damage on this weapon. On Dalion D.2 i need to play almost perfectly with a blight round on the boss to maybe come close to 50k dps. For comparison, before i used my aug transfers to spradio boots i was using twaalv 2 wand and it felt like I dind't need to sweat so much to get 50k dps on Solus D.2 last month.

On Luther its worse, before the arm break and weakspots appear its dificult to get even 25k dps.

I searched for guides and solo gameplay content for jet boots on youtube buts its quite dificult to find anything recent. So my question is am I just bad at the weapon or is jet boots really just a secondery weapon for Soaring Blades like launcher is for ranger?
