Weapon Damage Difference

Hi all.
I like to try out builds I see on youtube ect on the PTS and then if they are fun / interesting I then tell my friends about then and show them ect so if they want to then make the builds on live they can knowing what the builds can do ect.
However there is some real weirdness going on with the Necro build. I'm using the Corpseburster, Null, Shattered Paths build and during my parses when I look at the CMX I'm sitting on 8.2k effective weapon damage going to a max of almost 8.9k however my friend whom is using the build on the live servers when he does his parse his CMX is saying he's sitting on 7.5k effective to 7.9k max weapon damage.
The confusion we're suffering from is that we've gone through everything. Our builds, CP, Race, Passives, Skills + Morphs, Gear, Traits, Enchants, Boon ect everything is literally the same. Even if I was arrogant enough to say "Oh well I do the rotation perfectly and my friend messes it up" that wouldn't explain the frankly staggering difference in weapon damage. We are both using the same class mastery passives as well.
As far as I know there is basically no difference between the PTS and the Live servers and even if there were a change I have CMX reports going back weeks from when you could test out update 50 on the PTS and the weapon and spell damage is always in the 8k+ range.
We have even compared for example buff uptime and his uptime on buffs is pretty much exactly the same as mine so it's not like he's dropping buffs during his parses, but every parse we do he's sitting on basically 800 effective weapon damage less than me.

Just did a parse on the PTS. As you can see weapon damage easily sitting over 8k for myself. Friend has the exact same build only difference is this is on the PTS.
We're both High Elf if that matters at all.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Does the friend have the Nothing Wasted class mastery active? That's 20% extra weapon damage.
Does the friend have the non-perfected version of Null Arca?Edited by CameraBeardThePirate on June 19, 2026 9:23PM0 -

LIVE
but the gap between you is too big.1k wd is not a little different can did

We've checked everything and our builds are a perfect mirror match. Everything is the same, all passives, class mastery, enchants, traits, everything which is why it's so confusing.0 -
