Also it looks like for the drum at least that it doesnt drop run speed buff when you take it off, but in order to get the actual bonus you have to recast the spell which is fine since when your in combat out of combat runspeed doesnt matter anyways.


I didn't check the proc durations your right that sucks.

Curious, I recently got back to the game after a ~14month break and am about to finish the signature quest. Do you folks think that any of the other choices would be better than the drum now after GU52?

Drum is still the best choice, it's just a pretty good item now instead of an amazing item.

I am actually a lot happier with the changes than I thought I would be. In the same group with the same buffs as the previous night, I actually parsed a bit higher. But still around 8k. Not that much higher...but still it's not LOWER.

The change to CoB is a huge boost for all melee, even with the proc nerf, whereas casters got fucked all around.

I'm not sure how Troubs got hit harder than we did considering most dirges get themselves + a Templar so our proc mods are usually almost always higher than a Troub's so that more than offsets a Troub's 15% SC from their epic.

The thing that really fucks Troubs more than Dirges is the nerf to the Avatar bard weapon, which kind of sucks now.

Huge boost? It's like a 50% increase of 2%.

agressiv

just sayin, its gonna be right behind autoattack and potentially poison for most melee's zw's.

For what I'm seeing, its doing over double what it used to. Considering everyone else got nerfed, I call that a huge boost.

Yeah I was getting some nice numbers from Chimes last night. It sucks to lose Proc crits and mod as I am starting to reconsider some of my proc gear verse other items. But the sting wasn't as bad and the drums are still ok. My only complaint is some of the retarded spell names we have now. Daro's DULL Blade...seriously???
