Default Anyone else notice DPS decrease for Guards?

This is not a 'The sky is falling' or a conspiracy thread, but something that has happened to me recently that I have not been able to figure out....yet.

We are a T1/T2 RoK guild and over the past couple of months, I am usually averaging 2500-2900 DPS on mobs in Thuuga, PR, Kor-sha....

MT group has normally consisted of me, dirge, assasin, coercer, templar & Mystic.

There have been times when I have not had the Assasin, but a 3rd healer.

The past 2-3 raids now, I have noticed something disturbing, my DPS has gone from 2nd or 3rd on parse, down to not even making the parse and sitting about 1300 DPS, about half. WTH?

The only change in MT group would have been dropping the Assasin...

Not sure what else I could be missing, but something is definetly awry, when my DPS is cut in half and I am not doing anything different.

Any ideas?

*edit* This is in Offensive Stance 90% of the time.

Have you updated ACT to pick up the new double attack/AE auto-attack messages?

Have not noticed this at all. I did however notice people whining about it, so I am guessing Grind is correct about the ACT issue.

Hmm Will try to update, however, these have been parses from multiple people....not just mine. Plus, people that used to parse below me are still doing their same DPS.

So, if it was an ACT update issue, wouldnt it affect everyone being parsed and not just me? :P

Still trying to figure this out..

Its funny/weird, my dps "seems" to have dropped by about upto 10%, yet since lu44 ive gained a few more % double attack, and the parse says ive gained more accuracy! Holding aggro against orange cons (lvl86+) is now easy too.
Usual MT-group setup: guard, dirge, coercer, swash, defiler, templar.

You probably have a few people on your raid that didn't update ACT. I only noticed it wasn't picking up double attacks by chance so I updated it. The reason other classes dps is the same is because many of them aren't double attacking (mages for example).

Well, the updated ACT appears to have been the culprit here guys. Thanks for all the input. I updated mine and had others update theirs. It was infact mages that don't DA that was the reason they were all on top.

Ran PR this weekend and mine was back to 2.6K-2.9K on most fights.
