Had to revert to vMA staff because molten whip is unsustainable because of stamina cost. Other than adding Molten Armaments for Empower, its the same gear like on live, bahsei + yokeda + kilt.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭Here is my last parse on live servers compared to the parse I just did on pts. My light attack rate on pts is actually better and I'll note this is with me starting killers blade at 50% instead of 25%. Otherwise the same stuff kinras/rele/harpooners/slimecraw. This is with a stamblade that actually got otherwise buffed... So compare that to classes that got nerfs alongside the dot and light attack change and you have a pretty demoralizing picture.
PTS:
Probably don't want to start Killers at 50% since it has only 8% bonus damage at 50% health. Need to do some math to say when it's better than Surprise Attack.0 -
What_In_Tarnation✭✭✭✭Live server 21m target dummies don't have major slayer and minor courage but pts dummies do. So the nerf hammer should be hit even harder when you try to do dungeons/trials with this pts changes. Right?Edited by What_In_Tarnation on July 12, 2022 12:45AM6 -

Agreed, damage on the new dummy is kinda deceptive. Plus, with crusher enchant on backbar staves being 5 second, and wall ticking every two, it will be harder to reapply on cooldown and achieve 100% uptime, so there's another buff biting the dust and bringing dmg down on live.7 -

what are the number differences?
Friend of mine's parse on PTS. With a very similar setup he was hitting ~118k on live.
Got similar results. So currently warden seems to have gutted the most.
113k on live and dropped to 85k on pts.1 -

Oh yeah, it's a dead class. Didn't even need to parse. All I had to do was read the notes to know that.6 -
guarstompemoji✭✭✭✭I've seen sorc parses down 44k. Templars are getting dropped, too.
**These parses are IF the boss and mobs stand still for over 20 seconds.**
That doesn't happen in middle and later content, even outside of DPS checks.
ZoS is going to have to redesign every middle/new content. DOTs aren't going to work well on anything DLC.
Please keep your eyes open for any statements on these.

As a warden main, this is deeply demoralizing.
My Frost Warden could only reach about 70k on live…. Now I’ll be lucky to get into any Vet content.2 -
Hlaaluna✭✭✭I am one of those really lame players that this change is supposed to be helping. I took my MagCro to PTS to beat up a dummy, and now I think I am going to be even more lame. Even the mudcrabs will beat on me. I hope I am just missing the point somehow. Very sad.4 -

Yeah, the idea that this will help the low damage players is a lie. I mean, there's really no other word for it. It actively screws you guys over to an unbelievable degree.
Literally, the only people who might see a benefit are the newbies who are trying to do DPS in heavy armor in overland. Everyone else just gets a huge slice off their damage, regardless of their DPS, and that is an absolutely huge chunk of of your damage.4 -

Meet the new boss, not even close to the old boss!

Styxius✭✭✭✭StamCro I went from 123k to 105k on pts, but that's with the dummy providing ~12% more damage output so I really suffered an ~30k DPS loss.3
