WAR ninja Nerf?

Something I noticed before we went into emergency maintenance. I was doing 20K or so DH crit fell cleaves and after maintenance I'm doing 14-15K. anybody else notice this? Both times were just the WAR self buffs or is 14-15K FCs normal? I'm still newish to WAR.

We don't have 30% atk boost from zerk anymore. So we will never hit the old numbers when we happened to DHCrit FC under zerk.

Warrior had some things changed around, the reason why you don't get the as-high fel cleave crits anymore is because now every Fel cleave under inner release is a guaranteed one. To balance this they removed the berserk damage buff and nerfed storms eye slightly. They did also buff some potencies here and there.

But what im getting at is i was doing 20k before the emergency maintenance. After the WAR changes. But maybe it was different enviroments. Ill mess around some more and see if i can hit 20k again.

You're not listening to what's being said. Yes we know that you hit 20k before, that was also with a better berserk and a better storms eye. You have less damage buffs now. That's what makes it different.

just linken park fell cleave ef ef logz and git gud

As has been stated, you are likely recalling the number for DH Crit Fell Cleaves while under the effect of the old Berserk since that is when you tended to watch your FC damage numbers.
14-15k DH Crit Fell Cleave + % increase from Berserk = approx. 20k hit

With the new changes that is no longer the case and Berserk just guarantees DH Crit Fell Cleaves and turns into Inner Release at lvl.70.
This will appear as a nerf per hit when you compare the before and after but it makes it so that every FC hit is a DH Crit which compensates for the loss of the Berserk % damage buff and even gives a noticeable damage buff to the IR window if you can fit 5 FCs within the 10 seconds.

And you're not fully understanding what i am saying. 20K after 4.2, 20k before emergency maint. 15 after emergency maint. Yes im fully aware of the WAR changes.

Ah. There we go. My bad indeed, I read over the fact that you specifically said emergency maintenance not the patch itself.

I am going to assume and likely be wrong but from his problem and this math, it might be that zerk was still working as before and the emergency patch also corrected that?

Thats what im thinking. I was shocked to see 20K and was like damn thats alot of burst damage in 10 seconds lol.

20k maybe under party buffs. I am 4.0 BIS and I hit between 15-20 pre emergency maintenance depending on buffs.

I was solo.

I've also been hitting over 20k, so if there was a nerf I certainly can't see it. Direct hit - crits are sweet

Depends on where you are. I was doing 20k inside Omega solo instance (thanks to the warrior of light buff we get in solo instances i guess) and 15k during deltascape and dungeons.

Were you doing the omega encounter when you encountered the 20k FCs? Because I rant through it today to notice 20k FCs and when our, it was 15-16k. I believe since the echo/encounter bonus gives you more HP/damage dealt and healing. Maybe that’s the cause of your concern.
