Based on the past few zones I've done though I would say I'm averaging ~100 dps increase, maybe 150; again in my case there are other variables that may influence this though.

This is using the same two weapons I was using pre-LU38, Soulfire Sabre + Grinning Dirk of Horror. For people who got to upgrade to Axe of Natural Order + Bisected Sabre, I would imagine the dps increase was a fair bit more.

Only have SOD and thirgens (spelling) thorn (oblivion as a back up ), but i have noticed my dps has gone up by about the same too.

I noticed a dps increase myself of ~100, and I went from Soulfire/GDOH to Chel'dak's/Soulfire. The reason I went with this is I'm the MT dirge, so my haste is rarely 47 with buffs, and of course I wanted to stick with a pair of piercers

my dps went down... a lot.
GDoH + dirk of nightfall.

go figure.

Im usin Kudzu Coil Whip (primary hand only) 3.6 delay (79-237) (proc for Encounter.) And Axe of Natural Order 4.0 delay (53-298) (+20 to spells.) My dps has gone up around 200 or so. Havnt done SoD so cant compare that.

I also think with the raid wide buffs change that will have some change in the dps of the raids, so everyones should have changed alittle for raids.

dw damage did go up alot for me... i went from soulfire and rapier of darkness to dagger of purity and soulfire set up. last few raids ive notice that my zw went up by about 300-400 dps.

My zw dps has gone up round 200... and I did'nt change anything. Still using Soulfire Sabre and GDoH. I wonder if the new delay is a better match to my casting order and makes me miss out on less autoattacks. (havent had time to take a close look)
...only thing I could think of that would explain it...

don't forget raid wide buffs will add also.
The DW change did not come alone.

Windraa · 09-20-2007, 01:15 PM

What raidwide buff would have a significant impact on our dps?

Dants · 09-20-2007, 01:48 PM

The monks 13.1% casting speed and 22% haste buff.

Windraa · 09-20-2007, 02:10 PM

For some reason I was thinking the monk buff was a defense buff.

Thanks Dants
