The Assailant "nerf" - MOD 5 - No big deal

As people should know by now, I recently did a study of SW v. HV on my MOF CW on the live server.

That post is here:

It's worth a read.

However, I did THE SAME TEST on the preview shard (MOD 5), with same gear and everything, only changed to preview:

The HV data is here:



and the SW data is here:



First of all, because i forgot keybinds carry over to preview, there are multiple things in this log (chem is an idiot), so we can't use encounter DPS to measure Asailants effectiveness.

Secondly, I did less damage in SW for two reasons, 1) My friend preying mantis was with me testing his new TR build (he's an excellent WK/TR for PvE.) 2) Kaelic was PMing me while i was walking around PK and I feel off the cliff TWICE like a complete ****. It's your fault Kaelic!!!

That said, the new system shows that assailant is even more of my DPS than before. It's quite possible this is a BUFF, but certainly not a NERF at all.

Maybe this is only going to be a slight nerf to DoTs in PvP - but meh, really?

I had a "so what, who cares" reaction to this. You guys won't notice the change at all.

i didnt understand why the m5 assailant change is a buff to it

on SS CW - Yes eventually. Sadly I spend most of my time GRINDING DAILIES.

On a buff - i'm not sure if it's a buff or not, but it sure doesn't look like a nerf!

Assaliant is already nerfed to the ground. Since all resist are working on this skill (defense, tenacity, deflection), it is already weak in pvp ( deals maby 1-1,5k?). I Do Not thought it can be nerfed even more ^.^

Right, this is a PvE test - where it seems to make no difference at all. It, of course, will act differently in PvP.

I strongly encourage any PvPers reading this thread to write up their findings to help the community.
