Thread: DPS standings post 2.1

Potency was reduced, Blood letter pre 2.1 (150) now 130, Straight Shot pre 2.1 (140) now 130 as well as Hshot. Dmg from my entire coil run was significantly reduced at top end crits by 20%-25%. Pre 2.1 bloodletter crit without b4b running ranged from 720-740 now 540-550. However for T5 without having to spam RoD for DS I unloaded a ton more skills without being TP starved at all. Additionally since the changes to whm (not sure precisely) however he was mana starved way more then normal, obviously needing longer duration for Ballad inturn -20% dps. Ballad now at the end of p1 for top up, as well as p2>p3 transition, again after p4. Only had enough manapool for Foes during asclep kill and Foes BV for dreadknts/twisters.
Double brd coil groups will feel a big hit in overall group dps.

Except it was wasn't it's been confirmed over and over to be a tool tip error there is no way people are suddenly doing less DMG unbuffed.

You couldn't be more wrong.

Please enlighten me, because besides a very slight nerf to two of our cd's and a tool tip error there is NO DIFFERENCE.

Excuse me if I'm wrong, but I thought that RoD now gives -10% evasion for mobs, that means that if before RoD you can't miss in t5 with 472 accuracy, now you won't miss with 472*0.9 = 425 accuracy, which means that all the party can now equip new bard-based BiS items with other stats like crit and maybe determination, which will boost their damage. So, instead of making defences 10% better bards now can buff entire party's DPS (self, too, of course)

People have stated many times about this one.

1. RoD uses 180 TP, it's not viable other than free procs.
2. With that stated above, you can't even keep it for that long, especially for a long encounter. Which means, useless.
