Trying to loose weight on macros and buffs: 1.Kick. My -very short- parses show this on around 300dps. I dont feel like keeping it in my macro - what do you guys think ? 2.Epic 2.0 buff Somewhen back in the days Stubar parsed it to be worthwhile, cause the increase of double atk would outweigh the minor loss of Naks procs (back then). What do you think nowadays ?
Not sure why you'd drop kick, it's free damage. With 2.0 /GU Combat Dummy Caza in 601s, 3812k @6343 --- Romance 3812k@(6343 in 601s) /tell Romance Romance -vs- Combat Dummy Caza: -- DMG: 3812150 -- DPS: 6343 -- Scaled: 6343 -- Maul: 3608708 -- DirDmg: 119127 -- Bash: 84315 -- % dmg as normal: 63.3% -- % dmg as critical: 36.7% -- Non-crit rate: 74.5% -- crit rate: 25.5% -- Attempts: 1720 -- Hits: 1720 -- Accuracy: 100% -- Avg Hit: 2216 -- Max hit: 3927 -- DMG to PC: 0 DD attempts = 222 Maul attempts = 1378 Without 2.0 /GU Combat Dummy Caza in 601s, 3819k @6355 --- Romance 3819k@(6355 in 601s) /tell Romance Romance -vs- Combat Dummy Caza: -- DMG: 3819272 -- DPS: 6355 -- Scaled: 6355 -- Maul: 3652766 -- DirDmg: 88527 -- Bash: 77979 -- % dmg as normal: 62.9% -- % dmg as critical: 37.1% -- Non-crit rate: 72.2% -- crit rate: 27.8% -- Attempts: 1577 -- Hits: 1577 -- Accuracy: 100% -- Avg Hit: 2421 -- Max hit: 3927 -- DMG to PC: 0 DD attempts = 69 Maul attempts = 1397 This looks like it isn't a long enough parse to really tell but my pet stops attacking the combat dummy at 600s everytime and I'm lazy. The difference in Maul attempts is in favor of not having the 2.0 on which is likely a fluke but the difference is minor anyways. The difference in DD damage and attempts seems a bit more noticeable though still small, this might change with more DD procs on him (IE bard proc songs.) So it is probably still useful in the group/solo setting without a bard, but with a bard this might change.
^^ This Romance nailed it as per usual. I parsed it extensively a while back and this was the case. Solo/molo/Group no Bard=Epic. Bard=Epic is garbage.
