Necrotech_Master✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭i dont have pts downloaded so dont know for sure, but estimating at least 20%-40% depending on the toonplays PC/NA
handle @Necrotech_Master
active player since april 2014
i have my main house (grand topal hideaway) listed in the housing tours, it has multiple target dummies, scribing altar, and grandmaster stations (fully filled out with current game), as well as almost every antiquity furnishing on display to preview them
in progress: acquiring mundus stones (currently only have the thief)
feel free to stop by and use the facilities0 -
Ghaleb✭✭✭✭✭20% to 25%Parse on live: ~105k DPS with MagCro and 100k DPS StamCro
Parse on PTS: 100k DPS with MagCro and 90k DPS StamCro
Due to buffs of the dummy (now including Catalyst, considering that 70% of my dmg comes from Crits), I estimate around 20%-25% DPS-loss
The additional loss with the StamCro seemingly revolves around a more clunky feeling with the rota and a weird loss when using Stampede0 -

✭✭I'm on the console, so I'll have to wait to see. I've been told that as I lower-tier player I won't notice the U35 changes. So maybe the people who respond should mention their general skill level?
It might be useful to know if there actually is a difference.

MudcrabAttack✭✭✭✭✭5% to 10%It depends, here's the non-trial dummy parses of the two builds I play to get a more realistic damage comparison
Nightblade Archer Gained 13% - ish (Weaving with a bow is more responsive on PTS)
Live - 42820PTS- 48480
Warden Melee lost 18%-25% (This comparison would be worse with armor debuffs on the target, the new animal passive is just more penetration that goes to waste in trials)
Live - 51580PTS- 42400

mpicklesster✭✭✭✭20% to 25%Given that the 21mil dummy was buffed on the PTS, I had to parse on the 6mil dummy to ensure that a live vs. PTS comparison wasn't confounded. Parsing on the 6mil naturally meant that my overall DPS would be substantially lower than a fully buffed 21mil parse. However, the 6mil dummy is unadulterated by any buffs, so this at least allowed for an apples-to-apples comparison. (I deliberately chose the 6mil over the 3mil because the execute phase on the 3mil tends to be absurdly short--and therefore doesn't represent the potential of your execute damage. Not to mention, a 6mil parse gives literally twice as much data as a 3mil parse.)
I only tested my DK because I know it like the back of my hand (it's the class I use for most of my trifecta achievements). Despite knowing it so well, I still saw about a 20% drop on the PTS. I did 4 parses each on the live and PTS servers, and then averaged them to filter out the effect of crit RNG from individual parses. (My unbuffed crit on my DK is about 49%. At that level, under- or over-critting can have a large effect on the results of one parse. Hence why I did multiple parses and took an average.) My average on the live server parses was 41k; on the PTS it was 33k. The difference is technically 19.6%, but I rounded up to 20% for the sake of brevity when answering the poll.

Dragonlord573✭✭✭✭✭50% +Console player here, but as a 50k DPS and seeing other parses on here it looks like I'll be hitting 20k-30k next patch with my current set up

Yeah if it's an oakensoul setup, 50% dps loss isn't unexpected with other nerfs. Otherwise 50% is pretty high.0 -

It's not with Oakensoul. Using a magdk with elf bane, burning spell weave, and gronthaar. My DPS already took a hit when Zaan got nerfed and the dot changes is going to really mess with my rotation and damage. Cause I was layering on like 8 total dots and this is... Demoralizing.0
