Parsing Cripple:

[Fenier]

After 4 pages of telling a chanter he was stupid, an SK posted some numbers on the new Chanter verison of Cripple.

The last two posts on talk about it.

So you dont have to deal with the hillarity of the thread on the eqlive boards:

Comparison 1

Mitigation parses are insanely boring, but I did a quicky with and without on a shadowmane warrior in DSK. 75 SK with 3377 buffed AC, 35% shielding and 95 avoidance, Time cudgel so I dont proc rune, no vie/aura, or ac song. Also, I did not cast AC tap/recourse so that AC stayed consistent.

7-8 minute parses are to short to be very revealing (especially on any DI other than 1), but a 3.5% difference in minimum hit % is more than I expected. I was hoping for 12-15 minutes, but it's hard to not kill this mob.

Comparison 2

ToB parses, against a blue con twisted steed. Same toons as before. Buffed AC was 3370 this time. Antivirus kicked off at the end of the 2nd parse, lagging me out and cutting me a bit short, but the durations are sufficiently long to make a good comparison.

A much more noticeable increase in min hit % from cripple this time. I would suspect that the degree to which a str debuff will impact mob ATK is constrained by mob type. In any case, the effect is more pronounced than I was expecting.

Who still debuffs XP mobs, besides slow? Hell, I don't even Malo anymore, unless im pulling with it, or someone in the group is whining...they die too fast.

I would like to continue parsing this, with a few shortish parses (1/2hr each). Being a beastlord, I could use help from a class that gets a reasonable cripple spell (bstie version doesn't even have -dex).

Target: MPG
Lightning dude for flurry as they seem to flurry more than anything else there - test -agi portion
find an ukun for -dex (they seem to proc chaos claws more than anything else I've seen).

A shaman can keep me up pretty much indefinately there.

1/2 hourish for each, and I will evac us w/ my druid so I can parse the non-crippled version on my own.

If you play late EST and are interested reply here w/ toon name, or send an ingame email to Khauruk or Kaelani and I'll look for you.

Awesome info, thanks.

It would also be nice to see parses done to see how damage mobs take with and without cripple. Anyone I'd sure be intereted in seeing more parses.

[St_HotPants]

eware the druid bearing (or requesting) information that does not pertain to his class... because he is not interested in improving shaman.


I would have thought we'd have learned that lesson a couple times over by now.
