Question for End Game Raiding SCH (Those guys with ilvl 90 stuffs lol)

Something is up with this, and I'm not smart enough to figure out what. Apparently, somehow, with the only change being 15PIE on my stats, my whole group was doing more DPS. Of course, most people in this thread probably believe this is impossible. Is there any way to test this for sure?

Simple enough to test. Respec with 0 piety, find a dps friend, use the fairy skill speed buff, and have your friend check their recast timers. Repeat after respeccing to 30 piety (or possibly 15, although the breakpoint is likely to be different from dps to dps.) I highly doubt this is the cause of your situation because 15 piety is unlikely to cause more than 0.01s difference in recast reduction. There is no way that tiny a difference would be noticed by your party. Assuming piety even affects the fairie's buffs.

Yeah, but I asked my group, and the only other person who had changed anything about their setup was one BRD Zenithed his relic (and he wasn't the one complaining about TP). I'll definitely try the test you suggested, but while I'm doing that I'm also going to take a closer look at how the change affects the fairy.

My guess? Before 2.1 Serene would not cast the melee speed reduction ability on her own, it had to be manually cast. Since the patch about a week ago she now casts it herself. The difference between her casting it and not casting it is about 0.12s recast reduction iirc. It might be a bit more. This might be significant enough of a difference to be noticeable by your dps and tanks, especially given the difference you pointed out between eos and selene.
