    You do understand that those numbers are only obtainable from someone that can do like 120k damage on live probably. These parses are just that, sitting still doing nothing but rotation. I am betting the average player will get the mythic and expect to do those numbers are end up more around 50k. Oakensoul gave most of the buffs FOR you, which was nice. But people still weren't maximizing its power before due to build mess ups. Personally I am hyped for two bar heavy attack builds to play around with that don't involve 10 seconds of empower. I wonder where those leads are going to come from anyways.

    . General rule of thumb: endgamer youtube parse/2 = the average player. 1.5 if they slot the right stuff and practice a bit. Those guys can make almost anything work.

    game 90% pve meta is 1 bar sorc and arcanist so you not really must swap bar...

    It's possible to do more DPS without 1 bar, but yes, it's strong and exists as an accessibility playstyle for players who are unable to use 2 bars.

    Arcanist feels unintentionally easy to play though, as the beam clearly out performs all other Arcanist abilities/play-styles, and previous patch notes where they nerfed the beam have stated that their goal is to require slightly more complex ability rotation to get the same DPS. Though their nerf failed to actually incentivize doing a more complex rotation, people just got better at optimizing the beam damage, and banner bearer with crux generation made that even worse because you can consistently get full crux stacks during each beam channel, only having to not spam beam when you need to rebuff. So I guess it would be fine to leave this in game as another alternative for players that aren't able to adjust to 2 bars and light attack weaving, but they need to bring the 6 enemy max cap nerf from PTS to live, and they need to buff the other Arcanist abilities so this isn't the ONLY thing Arcanists can do. Oh and fix the Tentacular Dread + Inspiration bug that's been in the game since Arcanist was released.

    You reminded me...if op really need do 130k dps in Pve like he want do real hard thing he still need give up 1 bar,because Ha build lost aoe dmg so long and 1 bar can't use other set...

    It's been a while since I checked, but next patch you can easily hit 130-150k with the new HA mythic by doing nothing but holding left click and queueing ulfsild's once every 10 seconds. The game can't get any simpler than that.

    Is this really going live?

    yep,if oaken build is right,i know most new player(400-700cp /2month +) can do 70+ in dummy..
    but pug oaken dd alway run wrong build and do 5-20k dps,like full heavy armor or flame/ice staff...

    I like bar swapping rather than one bar play.
    I used to play one bar, I feel I'm missing something.
