But that doesn't make the ones putting out bad numbers evidence of a bug. Get your skills to cap, invest in some better gear, and stop expecting code to make up the difference for you.

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?

Could someone explain this please?

At least with archery we now seem to have out hits spread out almost uniformly from 1dmg to nearly twice our previous max dmg.... compared to before when we would hit for max like 50% of the time. As far as I can tell the overall dps is close if not the same but I haven't done anything remotely quantitative to know that.

I really Appreciate you guys putting your spare time into this emu server! Keep up the great work.

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.

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.
