1. It made little differnce to my DPS maybe it was the blade i had but i didn't notice much increase infact most encounters it came out lower. with a good group setup i'm doing 800-1.2k with a not so perfect one i'm doing 600-1k. So no i don't hate DPS'ing.

2. This i know, not sure why you've mentioned it tbh. Plus i don't need to pay for a respec, cos i have the respec card with a few charges on it still.

who cares what it did to YOUR dps, If your dps went down, its because you are slacking.

and the 10% dbl attack is for you AND your group.

10% Double Attack added to:

MT: Extra Hate/DPS
Assassin or Swashbuckler: Extra Hate for MT and higher DPS
You: Higher DPS

Sorry didn't find that the case with me. slightly improved MT and Assassin/swashies but nothing major.
Maybe it was the AA layout i had, maybe my equipment /shrug.

Doesn't really matter anyhow as that's not what is required from me at the mo specced for bd cos the RL wants me to have bd. If that changes then i may try it again.

Can't see that happening for a while though, although i will probably play around with it more when SOE bring in the house item AA changer.

the 10% wont give you.. or your group a huge DPS boost... it will add approx 5% DPS to the fighters (most auto-attack for roughly 50% of their damage) and slightly less to scouts (they auto-attack for 30-40% of their damage).

I think a MT dirge should have to have AE avoid. here is why. MT already has like 40+ dbl attk or something, swash already has 69% dbl attk. you're a dirge so nbd. and no one else melees in a mt group. But Blade Dance on incoming on an avatar means your MT gets all of the Reactives and all of the Group wards when the first AE fires and then an undebuffed Avatar auto attacks the Tank. If you dont have blade dance, then the entire Main Tank group gets hit with the AE which then wastes 5/6 of the Group ward and the Group Reactives. IDK Seems more beneficial for a MT dirge to have blade dance and then all the other dirges have dbl attk imo.

Ive always been MT dirge, and never once have i casted an AoE avoid on inc, the only time i ever used it was on PHH, which is easily avoided.

BD is good when you are learning/becoming competent with an encounter but like Loudness said it's not essential anymore and most can be avoided.

Most of the guilds i know that are happy for their dirges to drop BD are the HC raiding guilds because they have the knowledge and experience of the encounters. That might change when RoK comes out but i doubt it will last more than a few weeks if it does happen.
