What's with the piercing? I mean, the epic is an Axe, a SLASHING weapon. So, shouldn't the troub set gear match that, or at the very least it should be +pierce and +slash. So dumb.

4-set is amazing, BP is amazing. 6-set sucks because of the immunity timer on Countersong.

I think they confused the the melee bonuses between the classes.

They made the Defiler one crushing instead of piercing.

Yes, +125 damage per spell for the entire raid is huge... Especially since currently perfection does what, 300-550'ish damage if I remember correctly? If that approximation is right, it's about a 30% increase on an average hit. Now, I need to find a way to ensure that both troubadors wear 4 pieces and are always logged in. ;p

PoTM @ M1 (with about 900 INT and mythical) is around 680 tops. The boost is actually 175. So it's over 25%, which is insane. You can imagine what the crits are gonna be like!

For some reason I have a feeling that the odds of this effect being bugged is greater than 50%. If it's bugged like I think it will be, it'll only affect the troubador wearing the set.

Reason being is that PoTM is casted by the individual casting the spell, not the troubador. So for this effect to actually work, the devs would need to have coded the effect as a base increase to the spell, not a +175 increase to the person who just proc'd PoTM (and since the troubador is the only one with the set, only his proc's would be affected).

I hope that made sense and I hope the devs had the foresight to do this. With their trackrecord though, I should probably file my bug report now.

slightly off-topic, has anyone else noticed a 1-2 second lag-out when raid potm goes up?

it seems that a lot of the mythical effects are causing some of the extraneous lag that i've been getting lately. extra warlock pets, etc.

Meta

I'm seeing lag on alts that don't have mythicals too, but yes it does feel like there's a second or so lag after potm lands RW.

Confirmed. Timing PoTM with the pull is a good way to get someone killed rather than efficient use of the buff.

The nice thing about the 175 is that it likey translates to a lot more. I know at ~1k Int, my average pom hit on my last nexona pull was nearly 1000 with crits at 1400+. Should see 1600-1700 procs with the 4-set.

kyros

and with any luck, it will ad a couple more seconds of lag!
