I'm not sure if you have realised, but disembowel has been nerfed to 5% piercing. How in the name of Jeebus would BRD get 6% damage lol

Because of the way boss resistance work. When disembowel was 10% piercing resistance debuff, that equated to an 8-11% damage gain for BRD and MCH. Of course this number varies depending on reference because the only way that people were able to find out actual damage gains was to hit targets with and without debuff and compare the relative gains over many iterations.. This is the very reason many statics ran DRG, NIN, MCH, BRD because of the extreme synergy even though Monks had much higher personal dps. Now that disembowel is only 5% piercing resistance it is likely still a 4-6% damage buff.
