Any spell with a proper name in front of it is a gay holdout from Original D and D

Some of the names I like, scream of death makes it better for act, but who the fuck picked songster's luck, misfortunes kiss, thuris doleful thrust and daros dull blade? WTF.

you all know you love to thrust...

but yeah, the drum doesn't seem that much worse, and tbh for any non-HC dirge (ie anyone who hasn't killed zarrakon/avatars frequently), it's the best ranged slot out there.

CoB doesn't do that much proc wise, as kall said... I think it's a 40% boost to the proc itself and I would say it does <2% of my overall dps to begin with... so it's only gna improve your raids dps by 1% or something if always up (which is only 2k maximum, as i don't know many raid guilds that parse much more than 200k).

BUT, having said that, at least they haven't nerfed the main reason for CoB (haste), and afaik (i haven't got the update yet) it's still 18.2s (or 16.5 or something if you have no AA in it)... which means there's still that 25% or whatever increase in attack speed over that period still.

I would say with how much MC people have that are effected by chimes compared to SC, it outweighs the drum (but still, Crit procs before next expac plz! :D)

I'm fair gutted though that intrepid strike won't be up quite as long any more :/

I don't remember Intrepid Strike ever being affected by the drum. It was still 12 seconds before too, but I could be wrong.

It was 13.2s with the drum and 14.4s with a Troub's Harmonizations.

Vuetee · 06-20-2009, 06:41 PM

aye but it's pretty much always up.

And what I put is just the mathematical proof behind kall's statement, rama. You don't need to look into it at all

couldn't it get up to 15.6s with those crappy wrists too?

And there's the proof

I have a feeling that Ramathorne didnt go "huh?" to the last line of the post... but rather to everything else.

Vuetee · 06-22-2009, 09:04 AM

that's why I said:
"And what I put is just the mathematical proof behind kall's statement, rama. You don't need to look into it at all

"

and I was proving the drum effect works on intrepid strike before GU52.

That's the main thing I will miss, although having said that, I can't count the number of times Intrepid strike has been over-ruled by another intrepid strike - it's more or less always up anyways...
