    Good to hear. b:victory

    Can't see anything less than say a 3% increase being noticeable (and even that's pushing it). Also wonder if they updated the Seeker skill icons as well since those should accurately spell out the damage per skill (and hence flag any increases as well).

    I must say im not seeing any increases on paper, like skill tool-tips or such, but it is noticeable whilst i was doing all my expansion quests.

    Even if the multiplier was low like 3% them crits, zerks and crit zerks are really making it noticeable.

    Downside: HP Debuffs can no longer be QPQ'ed b:sad

    Well here is best example I can give, since I never really document every **** I make (We have proc for that)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fvd17uar9I

    In the video when I put the rings/belt/etc only thing im short of what I have now Is r9 belt- But see the zerkcrit with gemni there was 185k, vid was done months ago-

    Pic below I took off my r9 belt to match my str as whats in the video---still same refines, and shards (or lack of atm)Look at dmg log-same skill

    Only reason I know well of the changes, is that spot I stand alot randomly hitting things while in Vent meetings for faction stuff-

    Yea I just finally updated after work, and logged in to check on the mob that I pound on multiple times per day, krixxix, I usually shatter, battousai, gemini to debuff, wait on gemini cd and gemini again. tryin to see what my highest crit I can get. now the tricky part for me is the highest I can remember hitting him was 79k. today I did the same thing and hit an 76k, 69k, then an 83k (which sucks after seeing your 100-200k hits) but i guess my r8 +7 sword vs your r9 +(?) its to be expected.

    so its hard saying what with that range of damage swords do, but I guess it has gone up just not as significantly as I had hoped after reading this thread. I havent tried any pvp yet, those numbers were a bit more consistent for me as I tend to fight the same people everyday.

    OK... my turn.

    Just got the update and went straight off to West Arch to tackle some lvl 21 mobs and test the damage difference.

    The reason I used these mobs is because when I first got my R9 sword I was curious as to what the difference in damage was between it and my R8 blade. So I basically spent quite a bit of time on the Dyrads and Venomous ghouls comparing damage.

    Anyway back then I was consistently hitting the lvl 21 mobs for between 16-18k on the Rank 8 using Battousai exclusively to ensure consistency and because the skill has a fast cool down.

    Well just now I re-equiped the R8 sword (after taking off the rest of my R9 gear so that the attack levels wouldn't warp the results) and am now hitting those same mobs (again using Battousai) in the 20-22K range... which is essentially like a whole other refine level on my sword.

    I didn't test my Rank 9 sword because I've refined it since then. My R8 would naturally have the same refines as back then of course since its essentially retired now.

    So taking the average between the two damage ranges (17K vs 21K) that works out to an increase of 23.52%. Lets just round it up to 25%. b:laugh

    Keep your results coming guys. The more examples we have, the more accurately we can nail down the exact increase. b:victory

    I am hitting about the same as I was pre-patch, but I also stopped wearing a Jone's and started wearing an O'Malleys....so there has definitely been an increase.

    Once a player surpasses 4.0 attack speed, whether passively or via a buff, they will incur a -5% damage penalty as well as a -20% accuracy penalty.

    Seeker damage skills have had their damage output increased slightly.
