The definitive answer to your question is resounding "no".

So after the update goes live, it'll be back to the bow right?

Laromir · 06-03-2009, 03:33 PM

Even without Aeralik's "fix" of the 10% duration effect, it would be back to the bow or satchel... whichever floats your boat.

it's just not worth it...

why don't they just get the hint?

surely their testers have like 3 dirges that also aren't happy with the changes, they should be saying something right?

Yay for having to wait some time for zarrakon's bow

Vuetee · 06-03-2009, 05:07 PM

ahh but it's not too long before another xpac comes out with even better itemary...one would hope... it won't make that much difference, one would assume that one of the reasons you want to have the decent items is so that you can rape through the xpac rather than struggle through it much like I did... and the drum won't be that much worse I would imagine...

5 months is too long. It's about Itemization for me. If I go back to a using a bow it is going to be an item from last expansion. I think I will have a shot at the Zarra bow soon though. I think i am still going to swap the drum in and out. DPS mod is a little easier to get nowadays. And that's all we are going to lose by swapping in it. Plus even though proc is going to be berfed it's a proc you wouldn't have with a ranged weapon.

Just make the drum a fucking charm already....

Edit: Here are a collection of parses from the training wall on test copy the other day. Note that Brock's still crit 4/4 times and is still a decent amount of damage, whereas all procs suck ass.

Is it just me or is that a weird looking dirge parse? Where is the slashing? Where is the piercing? Do you use a buckler, Agaxim?

I'm a coercer. I was just illustrating that procs don't crit on test anymore, doesn't matter if you are a dirge or not

Edit: Except for Brock's of course, which was the point of that parse - and that it does still crit.
