Do you really think Hasbinbad, Shiftin, and plenty of the other rogues posting about this don't have max skills / best in slot?

Please take some time out of your busy schedule to do some more extensive testing, with more than 1 weapon, against multiple mobs, with more than 1 character. There's obviously a discrepancy between your parses and the averaged parses of everyone else posting about this, and that alone is worth looking into, don't you think? Especially for such a widely acknowledged issue that affects so many people?

You seem angry.

Fizzle rates seem strangely high. For my latest circle of spells, it's approaching 30% with maxed skill in the relevant schools. It appears to cover all spells, and I regularly fizzle 2-3 times in a row, as in every ten minutes or so, and I'll get at least one or two fizzles per mob and often more. It absolutely destroys mana efficiency, and between resists and frequent fizzles, I can now go up against a dark blue with full HP and mana and end up having to run away if I'm unlucky. Lower-level spells also feel like they fizzle more than what's suitable, but that has less of an impact. Fizzling twice your latest nuke that costs 20% of your mana is pretty grim, and while it's meant to be possible, I believe it happens too much now.

Uthgaard asked for specific spells, but it appears to happen universally and I don't see much point in listing all my spells.

It isn't universal, played for hours last night and it was at worst no better or worse than before the patch but as a 47 necro I am using mostly 29-39 spells.

I haven't tested yet, but this makes me nervous. I am level 58, and my primary spell at the moment is Fist of Karana, a level 58 spell. 30% would make it unusable. I'll have to test tonight.

Tell the kids and your spouse to get some characters in game if they want to hang out with you. :-) Treat that someone special to fun-filled night in the Estate of Unrest.. Take the whole family on a cruise through the exotic Ocean of Tears with a port of call in Butcherblock Mountains. Then it's off on the second cruise through Timerous Deep to the dude ranch at Firiona Vie Outpost.
