I'm str/agi spected with EoF bleeding line + repeated stabbing.

Str/agi How is that working out for you?

Eternalwind

Because recent change of arrow hit bonus,
use bow for autoattack damage is better choice for me.
(I don't have GDoH or bisected saber... )
I'm using Rigid Scale Bow and T8 arrows, stand behide mobs in 5m distance
switch between melee CAs and ranged autoattack.

Wow that sounds painful. yet it might just be better. bows are simply that good.

Meh, I am sure they will soon discover that ranger hit% is alot higher than they use to be. Also there are still some DW that can proc off ranged. I won't disclose them here, but all you need to do is check out what top raiding guild rangers are using and get an idea.

I recently got a bisected sabre, I am conducting parses on 2-4sec DW,
or 1-4sec + 1-2sec DW and see which combo is better.

Would those happen to be the Qeynos Killij, 628 raper, and iceforged sai? as well as buckler of the howler and the DW from EH.

Edit: I am naming these because I would rather them get nerfed and have the game work properly than have them not be nerfed and not working as intended.

it does, so does Qeynos cutlass, or it used to and Edged Pick of Early Might might as well, havent payed close enough attention to it to see for sure, will watch for it.

While i agree that the 628, and iceforged were most likely overlooked i highly doubt you`ll ever see them get changed. As for the the cutter and howler, well before they changed the items that proc`ed dps mods into static dps buffs they all were proc`ing off ranged. I don't see any reason why those two items should be any different. There are a few items with the description, "on a successful attack" that don`t proc off ranged, which is interesting, but generally anything with that description should. And as far as calling for nerfs and wanting things to work as intended, how about those certain weapon adornments that you use....come on bro...don`t be lame.

So anyway to keep this post constructive on dps and not derailing it on proc mechanics and nerfs, a good mix of ranged attacks can improve your dps. With hard hitting bows and the recent ammo changes, assassins should benefit from throwing in some ranged now and then.
