Wanderer’s Minuet, Gauss Barrel and Positive Gameplay Additions

[Cherie]

This isn't true, though. BRD/MCH are about 20% behind the melee DPS *with* Minuet/Gauss, and they were about 20% behind them at 50 *without* Minuet/Gauss. Therefore, they *don't* do the same proportional damage. That's why in some sense it "feels" like a nerf--their overall damage is about the same relative to everyone else and they now are less mobile (and somewhat "clunkier") than before.

Not sure where you are getting this from. Could you post a source? I personally do more with minuet on than without it so... In my personal case I do more with it on. I can't say I've beaten all of savage coil, but I'm currently working on A3S so I'm probably not doing everything wrong.

Edit: I was going to add, it's not a straight 30% buff like the tool tips says. Here is where the confusion of the tooltip comes in. You do lose damage from the cast times of course. This is obvious. You lose about 20% of your damage due of the cast times. The buff is 30% which because of math, it's not 10% but lets say it round out to a little less than 10%.

So it's less, you are right, but the buff compensates to give you a bit over (though less than you are probably expecting). I hope that answered.
