I stand corrected. Of course that may be the case, will spam moreand see.
Well told you I suck.

Or you have no Illusionist in your group.
Or you have >1s lag before your CA/spell starts casting.
Or your gear sucks (Mastercrafted is pretty decent though nowadays, as a Troub start-up in KoS with max. Legendary you were condemned to suck).
Or...

I have almost this exact setup, purely for the bonus to the haste, which IMO is well worth it, given the added delays of dual wielding. the only difference i have is i do not use the AGI line but instead the stamina line.
At work atm, so i do not recall the exact numbers but it is something like this:
int 4-4-4-8
wis 4-4-6-8-2
sta 4-4-8-8-2 <-- i used to sword and board it just to see how well it would do. i feel the DW is slightly higher for me now, so i am going to respect those extra 4 points out of skalds defense and put them somewhere else, maybe for turnstrike. Will also spec out of the shield block, which i misread and overestimated its usefullness.

I was able to keep the targets fully debuff, POTM, and jester rotation with no issues while maintaining 2.8k. last night in korsha, which IMO is not bad considering our raid force just finally made it into t3 (leviathan)

i use epic/betrayals song atm, and focus on melee crits/da when i can over spell crits.

Once this update hits, the haste upgrade for Troubs will suck even if you're never grouped with an Illusionist and missing a Monk since CoB will always be up with 2 dirges.

Edit - Nevermind, didn't see that you guys just cleared T2

I kinda am eagerly waiting for the update infact. Then my gay 20 mana regen hat will be 7 DA and with my 7 melee crit bracers 2 items will give me an empty conc slot . Now needs 3 .

Naruchan

is there somewhere that lists the changes that are upcoming to the troubs? What is it exactly that would be changing that is making the haste not so much worth it?

oh i see, but then that would only apply to guilds in VP, with 2 full time dirges both with mythical epic and 4 set peices? Guess i have some time yet ^_^

I might be able to help. Post your casting order and lets talk about that. I think you have the right gear and AA spec, I was in T8 mastercrafted and doing 1700 to 2000 DPS on most fights rotating jesters while watching TV. I scanned the posts, but did not see that asked unless I missed it.

how do you guys handle jcap buffing? do you have a bunch of separate macros or just one?

i've seen where some just have a bunch of people in one macro and they keep it going without sending people messages. i then see others who have a bunch of separate ones with messages. i'm curious if there's a trick to jcap buffing that i'm not aware of.
