    false as the most of the damage that comes from WM is the actual WM combo last hit the numbers from the crit off your power are nothing compaired to the actual weapon damage so still very viable for sorcery with pets you just wont get the crit for your power but that's not really a big deal..

    in all seriousness WM needs to be adjusted so that the actual power following the combo hits harder than the weapon because as is its broken making the power crit meaningless

    I looked for 30s to find it but didn't so, yeah, you can keep looking if you really want it.

    It was a post about WM by Spytle with an infographic at the top showing that WM would be a global option to reach aweseome level, and that powerset specific mechanics should be at the awesome level as well. Which sparked a huge backlash of "wtf most powers don't have unique mechanics" and why they are all going to get them soon (tm). So maybe in 2015 /shrug.

    Tried to find the correct quote but all I got was this one:

    I'll look more.

    Ran through Nexus last night w/ a few league buddies. Remander wanted to see how he'd fare using just Celestial buffs (Anoint & Benediction), along with Robot Sidekick and Orbital Srike, and nothing else but 1H-Solar Flame. His dmg:pwr ratio was 96:1 and he out DPSd the other 3 DPSes by a cool million.

    I believe earth is getting their update GU37 and electric GU38. Then I think fire and gadgets? I not sure. But not too far away at all. ^.^

    really that's interesting I'll have to give that a try I ran the alert last night trying to find a good way to mix WM into the Cel combos and I was seeing higher damage from WM than I was from power combos. I don't want to get to comfy relying on just WM as im sure in the near future its damage will be adjusted were the crit power hits harder than the weapon damage to bring back the point of WM to begin with and Cel will again not benefit from it but for now I guess we will all use it more than powers

    Don't forget Mental/quantum/ice.

    Earth/elec soon i guess.

    But then there's still Fire/Gadget/Mental/Quantum/Ice left after that.

    Still think before 2015? I mean it's not like i'd be in any way unhappy if they proved me wrong, just... we all know the sorc/nature one took a year, so...

    Didn't know Fury negates the crit bonus. Haven't used the lil' dude since WM released. Is that description listed in-game, or are folks going to have to figure it out for themselves? Since WM w/sorcery, the majority of what I do is spam shard on a group, then cast circle, then WM combo into shard. Keeps the 50% bonus active and it only lowers when I have to pop an emergency shield.

    Either way, WM needs to be adjusted. Look at the normal weapon combos that delve into the fifth tier and beyond. They serve little purpose because WM requires less button inputs and will trump them all in damage out, let alone DPS factor (repeating a WM combo is faster than repeating many fifth tier+ normal weapon combos). They should possibly add yet another layer of WM to add onto final tier weapon combos.
