anyone else feels like attack power being wonky? I had a lot of my skills do significantly less crit damage after the patch on the 19th; eviscerate was doing 1,9k crits with pvp coldblood/hemo build, does 1,4k now, and ive been noticing that my white attacks do way less dmg than they are supposed to. I used to crit for 500 dmg with autoattacks last week, upgraded to dal’rends on Thursday, and highest crit since then has been 454 with white dmg, even tho my current weapon has 20 more top dmg and 4 dps, not to talk about the +50 ap set bonus I got from them. the damage I see ingame is not the predicted damage that u see on the character screen for melee dps, its the actual dmg values that u see on the weapon, for ranged dps tho its accurate and correctly predicts the white dmg u will do per shot
my evidence is anecdotal, but I would love to see if anyone else noticed anything similar
Is it based on attacking the same targets? Because armor affects the dmg output quite a lot in Classic after all (unlike retail).
I doubt its the armor, but could be part of the issue. I also noticed that the other rogue in my sunken temple group had same minimum/average dmg for hits with his swords as me, while our sinister strike had a 50 dmg difference on average/max hit, he is 6 lvls less than me with way worse weapons and almost 140 less ap
but honestly I wanna see if people have also noticed something wierd since last update before I try to run any serious tests
Eviscerate was never good in vanilla and been always doing half the damage said in description.
however while attack power boost your damage? you should be aware that the damage has a range between min-max and also your enemy armor is effecting your rogue damage! and if you’re attacking higher mobs level than you? your attack will be effected by glance where you actually do way less damage than you should do, same if you’re using a weapon you don’t have max Weapon skill with it.
I have max wep skill, mobs are lower level, and im comparing my dps to the dps I did when I was 4 lvls less with much weaker weapons than now on similar targets, and im not even considering glances and such, just hits and crits according to my dps addon numbers.
