    geez, someone's a bit butt hurt.

    Check my FFXIAH.com profile. I just got a Kenkonken iLVL 119 one week ago. And you have the gall to infer that I'm not "up to speed"...ya ok, So Sorry My mythic isn't up to speed enough for you.

    After using my Mythic in old content and new alike, I have based my opinions on that. And the verdict is: Mythic PUP = non-mythic MNK (and only when formless strikes is not needed, otherwise MNK > PUP). SAM, DRK and DRG still way better. Especially SAM. All it takes is a quick parse to prove it.

    As mentioned by others soloing old content does not dictate that it's as well off as a Tinhaspa H2H MNK or better. If I want to play a solo, I'll go play Skyrim or Fallout.

    Look, the OP was two questions,
    1) how's PUP fairing these days.
    2) what's WS damage doing now?

    I answered both.

    I'll answer them again in short, easier answers:
    1) PUP is better, but not as good as normal DD.
    2) as I said, without a mythic, WS's are sub par. I'm sorry I didn't give a specific number, my bad. Average with Tinhaspa H2H and avg iLvl of 119: 2-4k Stringing pummels, with spikes of 4-5 if all hits land and/or crit. Need same buffs as other DDs though. Average with 119 Mythic, 4-6k with occasional spikes of 6-8k on AM3 procc, crit, and/or accuracy.

    Don't like the answer? Well, that's too bad, because that's how it is.

    I'm not entirely convinced that DRK is way better than MNK, just saying. You're welcome to prove me wrong though. Also I don't understand the point of discussing WS numbers in a DD hierarchy discussion. High WS dmg doesn't make a DD good and vice versa.
