The Training Wall

SO I was bored with some guildies last night so we went to hang out at the training wall for a few hours....lol. When I first arrived I had come from Chelsith and had my solo spec on. 59% spell crit (had dirge buffs), probably normal spell mod (approx 850) and I dps'd 2700. Then I'm like well crap I don't have the entire INT line so I went and respecced for raid and I was up to about 73% crit...go and try to kick the wall's butt... 2700. I'm thinking WTF right? I will say that my raid spec does not include VM (somehow overlooked this until last night, so a respec is inc) so that presumably would have made a difference. But 14% crit plus additional INT and that melee spell should have bumped my dps. So then I took off as much crit and spell mod gear as I could and replaced it with normal gear with good stats but no effects. Got down to 43% spell crit. I think ok, I will surely dps somewhat crappily now. 2700. I will get VM and go back tonight, but really, that is messed up to see literally no difference. Is this a problem with the wall or us?? Also I will add that our melee proc spell could not be placed on the wall - that is a lot of dps lost. But it doesn't explain my parsing 2700 regardless of gear. I will post after I try it again with VM.

I don't know what to say but that's pretty weird. I haven't really toyed around at the wall since the last GU, but in my experience I've had different gear affect my training wall parse, and seen even summoners with "pet" affect-gear change how strong their pet is and have different parses. If a pet shows a difference, certainly players should?

Check ACT for amount of crits and how much damage each nuke is doing. Make sure there's a change of some sort. If there's not, then maybe there's some mysterious shenanigans going on.

/agree - kinda wierd - either way - without the use of hostage your parses wont be accurate regardless. i think you said you and mezzem were around 3500 in 50k parsing raids. - i think 3500 is a good amount for the gear you have in a non-mythical guild.
