Anyone else feel Big DPS changes in Elsweyr?

Casdha

(Elsweyr the patch not zone)

I haven't changed anything on my Main but my DPS has gone up considerably. He is a Imperial Stam DK using mostly 2H skills.

These are taken from dps meter in Bandit's UI while doing group content as a solo player.
Pre-patch:
Average DPS (in thousands) = mid teens to low 20s with peaks in the 30s Boss fights about 8-10

Post patch: average
Average DPS (in thousands) = high 20s to low 50s with peaks in the 80s Boss fights high teens.

Example in the video bellow. If you want a comparison go back and watch a bit of one of the older videos (pre- Elsweyr).
DPS meter in the top left corner.



As you can see, it is not taking too much effort and a lot just depends on whether I can keep mobs herded and in front of me. First boss fight is bad example because I start fight with low stamina.
Also my timing on switching skills is off because I'm not use to them getting below 50% that quick.

I love it, this better not get nerfed just because I asked the question.

since this is new rollout(addition,chapter) extension to game any changes will be expected(patches,fixes,correction) dont expect it to be totally error free.also if you attend to try out,comparrison your damage done, please do same monsters same location thus monsters are diffrent and have diffrent stats ^^. u cant compare one monster resistant to a completely another monster and then base ure dmg on it.
i might have missunderstood your purpose with this post , please correct me if im wrong

There were some damage adjustments to try to bring skills closer to a standard ruleset. You can review the patch notes and search for abilities you’re using to see whether they were buffed and by how much if so:

I just wanted to know if folks noticed any difference in how play feels. I play Craglorn all the time but have previously stayed away form these areas because they took longer than I wanted to complete. I'll try to solo one of the group dungeons I have previously completed while streaming when I get a chance to do a real comparison.

Yes I've read them and one of my main skills is Brawler which had its bleed removed and initial shield tick increased. I kept an eye on them since the first PTS patch just because of this. I have to addmit this is the first time I've ever felt stronger after a patch.
Thanks for the link.

day 1 PTS yes. Did 51k with pet sorc, 43k live. Actual boost was only 3k after new update.

2H was buffed quite a bit, so I'm not surprised you see an increase.

I've only played Necros since the drop, so I can't say anything either way.

Well upon some more testing (Elden Hollow 1-normal) it seems this is just a fluke for me in Craglorn. I did get a little better shields from Brawler but DPS is about the same there.

It is almost like they made all of Craglorn (Group Delves and overland Group Zones) like a Public Dungeon.

Edit: Yea I'm pretty sure that is what they've done. I just went and tested out that storm atronoch an mage North east of The Valley of Scars Wayshrine and beat them both down in 34 seconds which is way fast for me.

Edit2: I just soloed Skyreach Hold in Craglorn and I've never been able to do that. Previously I only got about half way. There was still a middle side boss that had an enraged one shot that still got me and I died on the last boss once because I'd never seen him before. I'm pretty sure they've changed Craglorn from a qroup zone on difficulty to a Public dungeon zone.

Both Elden Root 1 and Skyreach Hold are on twitch as well if anyone is curious.

I'm not seeing much of a DSP change in anything, at least not to the extent that it really matters.

It appears this is Craglorn only, at least that I've noticed so far.

There was another thread where someone was asking if Craglorn was nerfed. Perhaps there is something about that Zone post-patch that made it easier? Not sure, i'm on Console so I can't test

Yup, magdk here: saw mine go up by about 2-3k which is always appreciated.

I assume the removal of the 200ms delay after skill use is healing some people hit their light attacks more easily
