  • Playing from Australia I have 300+ms ping all the time. GF is probably worst because trying to block an incoming special is almost impossible. By the time you see the red outline and hit Shift the server has already decided you got hit regardless of what you see on screen. To the point where if you are currently blocking…
  • Yeah, seems I was getting thrown off by the narrowness of it not hitting groups of NPC's. Will have to rethink positioning when attacking mobs if I want to make use of the AoE part, although WMS is probably a better bet anyway. Cheers,
  • I have a healthy scepticism with regards to tooltip accuracy in any MMO. So why can I hit a tight bunch of 5 NPC's and get no AoE? I'll go try it a few more times to see if it has weird positioning. Something seems strange if you are applying debuffs to target dummies. - Edit - Ok, I think I've found what's happening. The…
  • - disregard, incorrect info -
  • SS doesn't have any AOE component. The cracked earth graphic just looks pretty but it's still only single target (just double normal damage). Fairly easy to check. Stack 2 NPCs together and do 1 full 4 swing chain then check combat log. You will only see 4 hits total, if the final hit was AoE you'd see 5.
  • Points 1, 2 and 3 are tested. I never tested the capstone because respeccing is not free and I don't have the spare AD. I posed it as a possibility considering how bad the rest of the coding is. All you had to do was say "yes I tested it with the capstone and the bleeds do work with it". Hey, it's awesome that they got at…
  • Not really sure if you have other viable options, but this feat appears to be pretty bad. 1. Bleeds don't stack, so if you crit something more often the once every 5 seconds it's being wasted, probably more effective with a low crit rate. 2. They don't roll, the bleed will end 5 seconds after you last crit even if you crit…
  • Just got WMS and did some testing on the training dummys and you are partly right, but there are some interesting quirks. The WMS debuff on mobs increases your At-Wills by 30%. So by default WMS always buffs itself by 30%. So if you compare SS vs WMS (WMS including the +30%) then SS is only about 15% ahead in dps (for me…
  • I tested TAB RoE on the target dummies which have zero armour mitigation. The first cast boosts damage by 25% and the second gives you a total of +50% damage bonus. Using gear with armour pen has zero effect on damage vs target dummies (either spell or melee). From what I can see the armour pen stat will reduce mob…
  • Did you consider that maybe Thaumaturge was buffing the party damage more than Renegade hence the damage difference? So you end up lower damagewise comparatively because you made everyone else that much more effective, rather than Renegade being that much better? Those overall damage meters at the end aren't a real…
