Also, anyone know how shadow is doing with the nerf? I'm currently still downloading and dont know if its still the "best overall" mundus for most of the stam and mag dps like it was on pts.

BSW outperforms Sun on DK now

Well the shadow nerf hits harder than you think
MW: 12% *1.525 = 18.3%
HOTR: 9% *1.525 =13.7%
100%-(13.7% / (18.3/100))=100%-74.86% = 25.14% nerf to the Shadow Mundus alone.
Thats a 4.6% difference in Krit dmg compared MW

No it's not.
5x mother sorrow + 5 julianos + 1 iceheart with the shadow mundus stone barely reach 60% of crit chance, which means that the above combo gives 20% less crit chance than intended (or at least what we had on pts until yesterday) .
Not to mention the shadow mundus stone nerf
Same gear but thief mundus stone and you jump to 70% crit chance....which is probably not worth it considering you're giving up magic damage.
More testing needed, but I'm quite sure magicka dps classes will go back to the old bis.

Simply not true.
Pre-patch the same combo gave you 64 % and hotr buffed Mother's Sorrow slightly. Haven't logged in myself yet, but it still got buffed so how could you fall below 60 % crit when you could reach it pre patch?
