Re: Frontload
Its not very easy to measure, I dont know about overall DPS, but I know that with me using frontload my poisons do a greater % of my DPS than the other assassin who isnt specced frontload and we parse roughly the same still cause we do things a bit differently. Now I cant say for sure how that would translate into raw DPS. For instance using Poisoned Seeds when I hit frontload it could proc 0 times or 4 times (max ive seen it do). Generally with my robe Im garaunteed a proc with frontload, but sometimes it doesnt at all and sometimes Ive had the robe proc 2-3 times consecutively (15sec of 100% crit = pwnage). With its recast being pretty long its only good for once every few fights and the results for each time its used are pretty random from what Ive seen. It would take some very extensive parsing with the same group setup over and over with frontload and without to get anything definitive and I dont have those kind of resources, but I seriously doubt its 200DPS even with the gear and such.
Basically, once you get into the best gear available IE robe, pick, using Poisoned Seeds, Frontload is a far better choice than getaway imo.
