DW Changes

So, what do yall think of them. I'm definately parsing higher, as is any scout and even zerkers. But not by a lot, so thats good. (No, seriously, its barely noticeable, get away from me with that nerf bat or I'll shove it up your urethra)

But I'm confused on the weapon delay thing. I thought weapons were supposed to be 33% slower now. Both of my weapons had 1.6 seconds delay yesterday, and still have 1.6 sec delay today. Does the description just not reflect the slow-down? Or are my weapons so suck-ass that they didn't bother slowing them down?

/weap does show them to have 1.7s delay, and I just realized I had 25 haste when i did that, so maybe it only shows up there. But I thought the value in the description was going to be increased, PLUS they were going to be slowed down even more of they were in our off-hand. Did i actually read that or was that all part of the acid trip?

I'm not sure and haven't tested it (patching GU38 atm, since I'm from EU), but the thing that only offhand would be slower was in the very beginning of GU38 on Testserver. I think they changed it to both hands.

The delay should go up when your dual wielding them only, not just in general. It wouldnt surprise me if something got screwed up somehow though in the transfer from test.

You, sir, have answered your own question.

I saw at least a couple hundred DPS increase from initial raids last night, high haste is starting to become almost a necessity now due to having huge delay weapons.

Yes, Cochy is right, assassins are now way overpowered and must be nerfed immediately.

Edit: I forgot to add I am an ezmode Ranger and need to be nerfed more.

DPS went up by 200+ with an inferior group.
Going to have to test with a similar group before the LU tonite.

DWing - TTR DoP and BS, also SoD and BS.

On the side note, our brigand parsed alot higher. I think he ended up 2nd like 300 behind me. Swashy wasn't on, but I have a feeling that they will do a lot better too.

(Brigand is DW with Priate Stab)

its going to be anyone who dual wields long delay weapons is going to get a big dps boost if they have a lot of haste.

its going to end up as another example of an implemented combat mechanic not being thoroughly tested Id imagine. Hopefully they will just leave it as is and adjust it in RoK.

Shut UP. Just STFU! Let me get a 3k parse b4 you start this shit, please? Oh and I have to beat that fucking necro in at least 1 fair fight too. I did beat him twice last night, but on one of them he didn't show up on the parse at all, and on the other ... actually i have to ask him what happened on that other fight. But he only did like 1k so something went horribly wrong.

Good thing Assassins were already doing 3k parses before this change :\ Now you'll be doing 3.5-4k zw.
