With all these Dmg nerfs coming in 4.0...

[Dualgunner]

With the MCH and BRD getting the removal of casting skills and the lowered damage on songs, it'll up considerably the damage output done by thoses, knowing also that there'll be a lot of damage buffs coming from a lot of classes, also the Passive main stat are being boost for each level, it's not to much but it sure will be a lot with thoses new secondary stats and buffs.

I just take issue with that first statement. Losing cast timers means losing that fancy passive 30% damage buff. 10% returns through auto attack but the rest you'll need pure skill to overcome. This is speaking purely at 60, because by 70 you'd just naturally do more damage than at 60.

It's 20% if you play ballad or paeon currently. But the loss of damage is small, now that the songs do damage. Plus all 3 of the songs give you and your party a higher crit rate percentage. Paeon gives you a damage buff, plus quicker auto attack, and reduced cooldowns. Not to mention the new Battle Voice also gives us a damage increase.

How is that a nerf ?!

Fast Blade : 10 more potency
Riot Blade : 10 more potency
Goring Blade : 40 more potency combined
Royal Authority : 10 more potency itself and 30 more potency from branching from Riot Blade instead of Savage Blade

Yes, but having RA now hancuffed to riot means, I'll have to use RoH combo more because of no enmity multiplier on riot blade. Which will most likely be a dps loss in pug set ups.

On the other side, at least now you can off tank without forcing a DRK to use Power Slash. Also you have a 430 potency (probably less at full release though) spammable holy spell. I think you'll be fine.

And this really effects large pull dps as well. I used to be able to just drop a SB on the mob I may have been losing a bit of aggro on, but still be able to at least use RA. Now if I'm slipping a bit in aggro, I have to use a possibly unneeded RoH because of the combo, which equals a dps loss.

[SendohJin]

large pulls you're doing AOE WS now.

[Sunako]

Did you guys forget accuracy turn into actual damage stat that may boost kinda lot current damage output.

That is true, the extra aoe damage (finally) may help with aggro.

The whole power slash thing......who really cares about drk's needs anyway? SE doesn't, lol.
