Test Update 08/12/15

Perhaps Dzarn will take that into consideration and make adjustments based on feedback. Although, he may also not want your Thunderkick or Cranestance to receive that much of a boost with the synergy boost being so high (125%), or he might reconsider the generously high HH amount of your fists of fury proc when comparing how many times you hit vs a slower hitting class such as the Berserker. I don't presume to know his intentions for the numbers selected.

81 (15 + 66) is still 81 even if you can't add the 11 from mammoth due to stacking issues.

So for Praetor Vitio, our most recent one was 117 seconds long. My burns were just finishing,so I will consider it a burst fight. The top 5 was 3 wizards, necro, and a rogue.

Whoops math is hard.

And with Battle Stomp going you'll have a constant 127% damage mod going, compared to our 81% with Zan Fi's. So Berserkers are still getting a huge advantage.

Combined: A praetor august on 7/26/2015

Krixis - 6453
--- Battle Leap - 2
--- Battle Stomp - 175

Sometimes i have to try leap when rooted or blind or the mob is being pushed to the zone in.

Mills, have you seen any of the parses yet from the new stuff?

I would wait to complain until you see what actually is affected. I don't think this will bring any melee class anywhere near what necro are capable of. BUT if it does, maybe they will need some love too.

This is starting to veer into TLP whiner territory. If anything/anyone needs love it's rain spells. Take that nerf away from the last patch and these last 2 patches would be mostly awesome.

Gladestrider's Leap - Rank 1/1 (cost me 6 AA)
- Causes you to momentarily become one with nature, allowing you to leap forward in the blink of an eye."

Has a 30 second base reuse time on it, and works the same way as say Cheetah's Pounce (Beastlord) or Mistwalk (Druid) AA's do.

Looks like a pretty good update. Things finally seem to be going in the right direction with this game.

Thank you for posting that.

Today was not your first mention of it:

And this other instance that I could remember off the top of my head. Did not search to see if you had any others.

Congrats you found a mystical pattern of me mentioning it once here and once however long ago that was on a totally different topic.

The server still hasn't been patched as of this post.

I was able to see innate rage after /resetaa and was able to click train however the line disappeared after the 1st purchase.

ya I'm hoping we get to test the changes before they go live but who knows.

Daybreak should utilize the players on Test such as myself to help correlate some feedback and numbers like they did with the Advanced Loot System and the 16th Anniversary Tasks. I think things would always go smoother for the Live servers and more bugs would be ironed out and more tweaks applied if that were the case on a consistent basis. We worked with Hludwolf directly on the other two things and a lot of fixes were implemented because of that effort.

Parse for sk, did the same on test as on live. Added the piercing part of the log to show the actual melee differences. All parsing was done with 2H Lance of the bloodfiend + 16 dmg aug (386/37)

Looks like the changes will have good effects on our sustained but minimal effect to our burns.

I will do zerker as soon as I have time and the AA is available for them on test

Could you re-do one of the test server parses on a GH dummy to see if there's any noticeable difference from the stats between the two dummies? Someone on test should have an open GH with dummies already set up.

Numbers look solid, raising the floor on melee dps is good.

I thought about that too. Heading to bed, will try to do a hall dummy this weekend. I choose a gh dummy on live that was dark blue, same as test arena one. Did all my test parses first, as the Rathe was down for a while, and forgot you can't pop dummies in live arena like on test.

Oh, better idea. How do your hit DI graphs look between the two?

If they're the same shape, the parses should be 'good enough' to compare.
